GARHA MORE, Pakistan: Zia Rasheed had an ordinary youth by most norms: he went to class, prodded his five kin and played crickets with his companions and cousins on the dusty roads of his town in focal Pakistan.

Rasheed has gone through three medical procedures currently however new and developing growths will require more methodology, he told Arab News in Garha More, a town west of the Chenab River, around 100 km from the fundamental city of Multan.
Persevering
through clinical issues have delivered Rasheed excessively frail to venture out from home in general and his hurting knees are not really ready to help his body weight. "I used to go meet companions nearby, my classmates, my cherished companions and my cousins, yet because of my ailments I feel extremely frail, I can't walk easily," Rasheed said.
He said he spends his days at home, convalescing in a uniquely crafted, 9-foot-long iron bed, watching movies and messing around on his cell phone. "It is hard for me to go out now," Rasheed said.
Rasheed additionally experiences difficulty tracking down garments and shoes his size and can't fit on open transports. He used to go to class however had to leave because of change issues brought about by his level.
"It was hard for me to go on in school in light of my constantly developing level as I was unable to change with my cohorts; they likewise felt really awkward with me around," Rasheed said. "Yet, my dad put forth attempts and shown me at home. I passed my registration as a distance student from Allama Iqbal Open University."
Rasheed likewise needed to abandon playing his number one game, cricket, when he became excessively tall. He actually goes to the grounds however, he said, and watches his companions play from the sidelines.
Rasheed's level has not been formally acknowledged by the Guinness World Records, or some other association, up until this point. At present, Pakistan's tallest man is Naseer Soomro from Shikarpur, a region in Pakistan's southern Sindh territory, who remains at 7 feet 10 inches tall.
"I demand specialists to assist me with getting enlisted in the Guinness World Records book as I am the tallest individual of Pakistan right now despite everything developing," Rasheed said. "It is conceivable that I will break the world record soon."
According to rasheed, if formally estimated, he would likewise have the world's longest hand estimating 11.5 crawls from the wrist to the tip of his center finger, contrasted with the standing record held by a Turk whose hand is 11.2 inches long.
At this point, without true acknowledgment, Rasheed says he draws in a considerable lot of goggling and critique, some of it free, some not. Individuals crying in shock at seeing him, or whipping out their cellphones and taking photographs without consent are a standard event in his life.
During a new outing to play out the Umrah in Makkah, he said he got unique convention at the Kaaba and a watchman made room for him to kiss the Hajjr-e-Aswad (dark stone).
In any case, his involvement with Dubai was not all that lovely.
"The individual who took me there set me up for anyone to see in a shopping center and beginning gathering cash from individuals taking pictures with me," Rasheed said. "That's what I hated."
"At the point when outsiders take a gander at me and become shocked, I feel extremely awkward," he added.
At this moment, Rasheed says he experiences made harmony with the possibility that he could wind up going through his time on earth alone.
His dad, an elementary teacher, is now struggling with hacking up the cash for medications, specialists' charges and the transportation expenses of heading out to greater urban communities for treatment. Tracking down a young lady for Rasheed to wed isn't on any one's plan.
"I don't contemplate getting hitched as I can't manage the cost of it," Rasheed said. "I'm completely subject to my folks who are dealing with my hospital expenses, food and safe house. I would rather not put one more weight on them."
When inquired as to whether he had at any point preferred somebody, he said: "I've never considered attempting to find a match, I've never attempted it."
What is, nonetheless, at the forefront of Rasheed's thoughts is his developing medical issues and stresses over how to cover doctor's visit expenses. He trusts the public authority of Imran Khan, who came to drive last year promising to carry out a favorable to unfortunate plan, will help.
"It is turning out to be increasingly more hard for my family to manage the cost of my costs," Rasheed said. "The public authority ought to help and make game plans for my treatment. I want a medical procedure once more."
