You know how they say the grass is always greener on the other side? I think it’s time people stop complaining about the struggles of being tall. Who doesn’t want to be tall? Being tall has it’s own perks. Being tall is awesome! Let us count our blessings while counting the perks of being tall.
1. You will never get lost in the bazaar because your mom will be able to see your head floating above the crowd
Admit it, you have wandered off from our moms in the bazaar at one time or another. Sometimes you get entranced by the cereal aisle, at other times it’s the gears or the clothes. It’s so much easier for our moms to locate our heads hovering above the rest.
2. You are able to reach things without having to move much
Have to reach the remote control across the sofa? No problem! Gotta pick up that jar of Nutella from the top shelf? Tall person to the rescue!
3. Long arms aka organic selfie sticks
You can take selfies from the perfect distance. And also manage to squeeze all of your friends in the picture.
4. You can get to places faster
Long legs mean getting to places faster. Who is up for losing a leg race? A fast pace for us is breathless running for others.
5. There’s a lot more of us to love
What’s better than having more of us to love? We are like a pack of 30% extra Lays, except that it’s not just air. So basically, we are a box of Pringles.
*Note: This is not an invitation to eat.
6. You can stand at the back and still be able to enjoy concerts and movies
Got late for a concert? Reached last minute at the movies? No sweat! You will still be able to enjoy it just the same.
7. You give the best hugs
There is a nothing better than an all-encompassing hug that only tall people can give, a hug that makes you feel like everything will be alright in life.
8. Even if you can’t play sports for the life of you, you still sort of can
You almost always end up on the sports team in your school/college/university. So even if you suck at sport, you’re identified as being athletic by your fellow humans.
9. You look stunning in sarees/suits and pretty much everything else
Ain’t nobody like my (read: tall) desi girl!

Ladies, behold, for we have a tall guy in a smashing suit and his just-as-tall friend in a shalwar kameez approaching at the entrance.
10. You don’t need to wear heels and kill your back
You are not obligated to wear heels so you can spare your back the devil’s pain.
11. You get to call shotgun every time you go out for a ride
This is me. This is my spot.
12. Even if you gain some weight, you won’t look fat very soon
Eat away those unbelievably heavenly brownies and that double cheese pizza because even if you put on some weight, those few extra pounds won’t show thanks to your height.
13. You often get complimented on having long legs
Keep ’em coming people, keep ’em coming!
14. You don’t have to fold your pants at the bottom or your sleeves like your tiny friends
Size matters.
15. You look badass
Every time you enter a room or go somewhere, it is nearly impossible to miss you because your presence demands attention.
16. Your options in the significant other are vast
Thanks to your height, you can rishtafy the tall guys/girls in the lot and bring more tall humans on earth.
17. You never have to share your shoes/clothes
Bought fancy new shoes? Updated your wardrobe? Guess who you have to put up with sharing your clothes and shoes with? No one!
18. People don’t assume you’re a young child (sorry short people)
You don’t have to go through the embarrassment of being mistaken for a kid at the amusement park or restaurants.
19. Being able to breathe in crowds unlike your tiny friends who are battling suffocation
‘O Jaane De Jaane De, Thori Hawa Aane De’
20. Being able to ride all rides
Weeeee!
21. Most people look up to you…literally
And we know you love it.
