Khagendra Thapa Magar soon to loose his title

Mr. Khagendra Thapa Magar, 18, had won the title of the "World's shortest man" last year according to the guiness book of worlds record. well, time to face the sad news here. for, the title may be handed over to Junrey Balawing, 17, a phillipines teen. He is believed to be 1 foot 10 inces tall making him almost 4.3 inches shorter than our Khagendra Thapa Magar. Balawing have to be 18 before he can be officially measured and  he will have to be officially measured three times a day, both standing up and lying flat. He turns 18 in June. until then, Magar will have his title safe that he received on his 18th birthday.

Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, said if Balawing measures up, he could make a permanent mark on mankind. "We're intrigued by such a remarkable claim," he said. "If it's true, it would make Junrey not just the shortest living man but the shortest man who ever lived, beating Gul Mohammed of India (1957–1997) at 57 centimeters or 22.5 inches."

well, .. best wishes to Balawing,  and to Magar, enjoy your reign to the fullest and make the best of it.
