Human body is 1 cm. taller in the morning than in evening.

One of my friends Rishab Nanda during one of our bantering sessions told us that human body changes in height during the day very much like our weight and that human body on an average is 1 cm. taller in the morning than in evening.

Cant tell you how much fun we made of him ripping apart his stated fact with our illogical and sarcastic comments. Nanda as usual was at his sincere best,moving around his mundi trying to convince us and we were as usual making fun. At the end all he said was, "Maane ya na maano, but it's true".

Then today around 7:30 in the morning i get a call from him. "Haan chotu(he addresses me like that) , uth gaya hai". I had slept at two at night, reason being the usual extended period of "Friends" watching. Anyways i manage to say,"Haan uth gaya hun, bol". He says," TOI(Times Of India) ka Delhi Times section khol and go to page 4." Obediently i do that.

Sitting there at the bottom right is the usual section "Fact of Matter". It had,"Human body is 1 cm. taller in the morning than at night." After reading it only words i could utter were,"Then what". Then he reminded me of that unfortunate day he had to suffer our comments and become the subject of ridicule. I had totally forgotten about all that we said that night but that poor soul was still carrying it in his heart. Boy you should have heard him after he made me read that,"Kaha tha na tum logon ko us din. Maan hi nahin rahe the. Ab padh le khud."

Chalo i was happy that though i had a heavy head when i reached office, with sleep deprivation, atleast someone was feeling light with something very humiliating off his chest.

Good morning nande...have a great day ahead.
