'Extraordinary People': Jyoti is 12lbs and 24 inches but that doesn't stop her from living life to the fullest


Jyoti Amge might be short but she lives larger-than-life. Weighing12lbs and measuring 24 inches, Jyoti is known as the world's shortest woman. Her parents, Ranjana and Kisan Amge, were told by doctors that Jyoti's condition was due to lack of hormones in her body. Ranjana recalled that when she was pregnant with Jyoti, the doctors feared something might have happened to her as they were unable to see her during the sonography.

Jyoti was born after Ranjana had an emergency C-section but doctors were sure she would not live more than a couple of hours. Beating all the odds, Jyoti survived and is now living her best life. Right from traveling to different countries to acting, Jyoti has never let her height come in between things. There are times when she wishes people don't see her as a baby as she is 26 years old but despite this, she manages to greet everyone with a big smile on her face.

 One of the problems that she faces is finding the right type of dress. Being this size, Jyoti has to shop from the baby section and is often disappointed to not find clothes that might make her dress more like an adult. While this is one of the smallest worries she has, one big problem that Jyoti faces in her everyday life is having trouble walking.

 When Jyoti was young, she fractured her leg and her bones were unable to heal by themselves due to the lack of hormones in her body. Jyoti and her family decided to come to the US to seek help. While Jyoti loves her country, India, she wanted to have a better medical consultation for her leg. Jyoti recalled that in India, people often look at her as a god. Being the size she is, people in India think she is an embodiment of a god.

 People often lineup to meet her and are eager to click a picture with her. While there have been times when Jyoti has wished she was normal, she has managed to accept this as her reality. Jyoti also confessed that she would never want to be in a relationship as she would be hurt if a man leaves her. However, she is always open to flirt with some boys.

 She hinted that one thing on her mind at the moment is to get her leg checked. While the doctors suggested Jyoti would need surgery, she feared that her height might put her life at risk. After a lot of thinking, Jyoti agreed to look at her options and decided to get the best consultation if there was a need for her to undergo surgery. 'Extraordinary People' airs on Thursdays at 10 pm ET on TLC.

Nancy Williams: Easter confusion over bunnies, Bible and baskets

Image
Saw a funny card. Said since Easter is on April Fool’s Day this year, let’s have the kids find Easter eggs we didn’t hide. I laughed. If you’ve been that parent who was scrambling to do the middle-of-the-night bunny delivery, you get it. A friend who was with me said having kids look for nonexistent eggs is cruel and would be confusing to a child. Um … first of all, I wouldn’t really have my child look for eggs I didn’t hide. Probably. And second, Easter is pretty confusing anyway to wee ones. At least it was to my little girl mind way back then. We dyed eggs. For a long time, I thought it was because Jesus died, we "died" eggs. Actually I dyed pretty much everything I could find that would fit in the cups of vinegar-based coloring. My mom was mostly OK with it. In the name of science. String, socks, dollar bill, dinner roll, my finger, a crayon. My imagination-lacking sister said you can’t dye a yellow crayon, it’s already colored. My mother is largely to

WWE WrestleMania 34 Results: Why Roman Reigns Should Have Defeated Brock Lesnar

Image
WWE WrestleMania 34 did not end with Roman Reigns standing tall as the new Universal Champion. Some diehard fans, in particular those who cannot stand Reigns, won't like to hear this, but WWE did not make the smart choice at WrestleMania 34. It was time for "The Beast" to drop the Universal Championship, and Reigns was the right man for the job. Let's start with Lesnar, who held the Universal title for more than a year because he's considered to be  WWE's biggest draw  but during his title reign had done little to prove that's actually the case. According to  WWE's Key Performance Indicators , Raw's TV ratings increased exactly 0% by the end of 2017, at which point Lesnar had held the title for nearly nine months. Likewise, the average WWE Network subscriber count dropped by more than 200,000 from Q2 (when Lesnar won the title) to Q4, while average live event attendance was at 4,900 in Q3, the lowest during any quarter over the last three ye
