Indian who has not bathed in 35 years

I thought I’d seen everything. But now they’ve discovered an Indian who hasn’t had a bath in 35 years. His name is Kailash Kalau Singh, and his name might get into the Guinness Book of Records.

It seems some palmist or astrologer (there are millions in India) told him he should never bathe if he wanted to be the father of a boy. Unfortunately in his case it didn’t work. He is now the father of seven daughters, but no son. Funny thing is, his wife still lives with him. I don’t think a woman in any other country would have tolerated such a husband. He had to sell his grocery store because customers didn’t like his unhealthy personality (maybe they didn’t like the stink).

I wonder if by some miracle this man becomes the father of a boy, will all such Indians stop bathing until their wives too produce male children?

    Spratt, you are right. We debate viewpoints, but it is much more fun if people atleast do not twist the historic facts. By the way Texas weather is kind on tadpoles. Come down, people are the best and the friendliest here.

    @Hend: Glad you saw the humor in my last. I’m not really feeling sorry for anyone; “truths” about such complex matters as we’re discussing are largely a matter of viewpoint, which can’t be resolved, nor can any of us really be blamed. We’re like little boys playing in a mudhole, taking turns dunking each other, but none of us deserves to be drowned. Maybe if we’d let the water clear, we could find some tadpoles. I heard they’re good to eat. **:-)**

    Don’t be misled by Shakir’s retarded sense of history. Taj Mahal was not built by Pakistanis, it was built by the Mughal empire which traced its origins to today’s Uzbekistan. They just happened to be Muslims.

    What this shows is the nature of arguments India (a secular multicultural country) faces from a religious state like Pakistan which likes to claim things as its own simply based on religion. I do not think you should feel sorry for such people for the sake of being nice.

    I stand by my comment that millions of Pakistanis have stayed back in India. You may have five people who came back because there are always exceptions to the rule. You seem to have spent your whole life trying to convince yourself about the wiseness of your parents decision to move to Pakistan, you can convince yourself that it is paradize but I can see the remourse…too bad and too late.

    Hend: “millions of Pakistani visitors stayed on and never went back”. Not true. Muslims and Hindus who’ve been born in Pakistan would never want to live in India (except for that singer Adnan Sami, who’s a U.K. citizen anyway). I know five Karachi Hindu families who left to live in India but came back after a year, saying that Pakistan is a paradise compared to India! But then, I too have relatives in Bombay who’d rather live there for the remainder of their lives. Maybe it’s because they like to be near those scantily-clad Indian actresses!

    @Shakir: “Taj Mahal” is a word we use commonly in the west to describe the utmost in architectural splendor. So sorry you have such difficulty visiting your kinfolk. We used to be able to go to Canada–just drive there–or Mexico–let the guy count heads and put a TURISTA (tourist) sticker on your car and go on through. Not anymore. We need to open all borders everywhere. Think of the tourist commerce, wow.

    Gentlemen: Are we in danger of crossing a line between brotherly ribbing and remonstrable insult, or worse, beneath the dignity of a reply? I suppose that’s a risk we run with international blogging, and here we are, of at least three cultures, addressing each other as roughly as we would our boyhood chums, but without the balancing influences of visible grins, audible laughter and rapidity of ripostes. Huge fun until someone gets truly pissed off.

    @General Khan: Sir, if you are at all offended by my attempted witticism about Genghis, I hope you will accept my apology most sincere. It was a joke. Shall I consider my butt officially kicked?

    @Hend: Mrs. Hend says Hi. Actually she said “Jambo.” Dunno where a nice Indian girl picked that one up. Shakir’s teaching her Arabic in the back room; I can hear her screaming “ALLAHU AKBAR!!” really loud. In the interest of international relations and good will, I’m gonna help her polish her, um, English–heh–if– Oh, here comes General Khan down the walkway, too. More ALLAHU AKBAR’s, maybe. Not much of a vocabulary on her yet, but WOW, what a set of ——!!! The universal language, indeedy-dee. She’s quite the little linguist, she is. You’re a lucky fellow… Hey, glad to help out, Bro.. Say, is it hot in Houston? Sure is hot here.. 🙂

    What else do you expect Shakir…millions of Pakistani visitors stayed on and never went back, even some of those coming to watch cricket matches didn’t go back. I don’t think you are in a position to complain about immigration laws. The last problem in your list, though fictitious and malicious (as always from you :)) would actually be a good advise for Indian police to follow.

    William: it’s very difficult for a Pakistani to get an Indian visa, and even if one gets it, one is not allowed to visit more than two cities at the most. Since I have relatives in two cities there, it would mean I’d have to miss visiting famous historical sites like the Taj Mahal (built by Muslims during their 500-year rule over India). Besides that, Indian police think every Pakistani (even a non-Muslim) is a spy or a terrorist
