5.7" and 50kg

Lean and tall. Maybe that’s a very pitiable combo that a girl can have in India (or is it the same everywhere? I have no idea).

Location1 : a readymade garments shop
Purpose : to get an approximately fitting salwar or shirt or kurti or skirt, whatever….
The woman at the shop who knows how to get her customer to buy something : “Sorry ma’am, we have kurtis only in small, large, XL and XXL size. You may try at the kids counter for XS. But I’m afraid it’ll be a bit short for you. You can buy these large sized ones ma’am! And we’ll adjust it to your size”….
Adjusting it spoils the beauty of the kurthi. A pretty embroidery work is cut. The beautiful design at the end of the sleeve is folded and made to look horrible.
Atleast if I were short, I would’ve tried the kids section. Unfortunately, I’m not. :(

Location2 : a jewellery PALACE (?)
Purpose : to buy a bracelet
The lazy man at the counter : “Sorry ma’am! We don’t have bracelets which’ll fit you. Try at the kids section!”
And the kids section has bracelets with TEDDY BEARS and those that jingle-jangle!!! Man!!! I’m a TWENTY year old girl! I can’t wear something like that!

Location3 : a footwear shop
Purpose : Isn’t it obvious from the location? Anyway, I wanted a pair of shoes in my first year. My college strictly instructed us to wear leather (atleast made of something that looks like leather) shoes for the labs.
The busy seller : “Sorry ma’am! Adult shoes start from the size 6. Size five is available in kids section only!”
Hello! Do you expect me to wear bubblegummers to college?!?
