really, what an amazing man.
March 15th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
nice to see the small guy. but the pic where hes being measured with shoes is a bit offending, i dont think that pic should be there in public
March 15th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
is it fair enough to compare a man with shoes..???may it be height or any other…Khagendra is born as shortest man , then it is not his fault. Please do not make fun out of him.

March 15th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
i do agree with santo…
March 15th, 2010 at 6:11 pm
I agree with Santosh Pradhan, this photo should be removed ASAP.
March 15th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
Yes it should be removed.

Santosh Pradhan, Sabin, …: Point noted, it was not intentional. Thank you for your comments. I will be careful next time.

It is not everyday that you get to meet a Guinness World Records contender and on top of that from your own country! So I would really like to thank Manish jee and Bhaskar jee for showing up there, taking the pictures and exercising the effort to put these up on the net for my children and grandchildren to see! I also want to thank Rudra and Chris sirs for organizing this. As part of nature’s creation, we all come in different shapes and size. Life is about celebration and respecting one and all. I was glad I came over to Hattisar on Saturday evening and enjoyed meeting with Khagendra. Below are some news links that convey his story in one form or the other, I urge you all to read it.

Nice to see the small guy honored
March 16th, 2010 at 8:52 am
Small wonder…
March 16th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
Thank you all who participated. I do want to be clear that there was no intent to make fun. It was a privilege to meet this remarkable, and happy, young man. Rudra and I have made a contribution to his foundation.
March 16th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
Great work there honouring the small guy.
Looking at pic#5 reminded me of following post that I went through a couple of months back
http://www.buzzfeed.com/awesomer/worlds-tallest-man-meets-worlds-shortest-man
I’m sure Mr. Khagendra will beat Mr. Pingpong for the world shortest man. (Y)
I’m not too sure about the taller counterpart though…
March 16th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Yes, Chris & Rudra have contributed a worth of Rs. 36,325.00 to Khagendra Thapa Magar Foundation. this organization works for his education and empowerment including for others alike him also.
If you have intention for such, I will be happy to introduce you to Chairperson Min Bdr Rana or else you could dial his cell 98560 20782 or Khagendra’s dad’s cell 9804 156 091.
In addition, sincere thank goes to Keshav Basnet and Tilak Thapa Magar for their help for making this
meeting matured.
When I met him I discovered the real world of him was quite different from his footages on TV and the photos on paper. To this surprisal credites goes to Chris and Rudra. Keep unfolding the truth!!
Cheers as always!

Think before you post
March 16th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
the controversial pic is a typical example of cultural clash. but since the poster was himself nepali, he should have known better. but everybody makes a mistake… its only human to err.
and regarding the donation sum… don’t think that needed to be disclosed! the contributor himself didn’t disclose it in his reply!

This little guy was featured in a Channel 4 documentary here in the UK along with several other contenders for the title of the World’s Shortest Man. He has a great personality and didn’t seem in the least bothered about his “disability”. He seemed to thrive on the attention. In public, at any rate. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes.
March 17th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
So glad to see him. Amazing indeed. Thanks to everyone behind. Specially Keshav bro.
The fact awes me that in almost all pics of him floating in the internet, he is wearing Nepali topi.
Thanks to Visitor for sharing the links.

I go for love and respect but can not go for apple polishing.

Wonderful things will never end, it’s quite wonderful to see the smallest person on earth, but remember that’s is never his choice: its destiny from almighty God, so praise the Lord of the universe and all creators.

Wow, I can’t believe he’s so small. It must be hard to be that small your entire life.
December 31st, 2010 at 4:12 am

February 18th, 2011 at 3:27 am
