In this country, you could still manage to have a career of ten years or more as an
airline pilot, with a bit of luck. You are definitely not too old to learn to fly.
While there are a few aircraft in which you would have trouble reaching the rudder
pedals (mine is one), you would have no problems in many aircraft. They also make
extensions for the pedals for very short people, and these could be mounted in
aircraft like mine, which would let you fly them.

I have read that flying is very expensive in India, however, and there's no way
around that. Better move.
