[www.keralites.net] Devout Sikh wears the world's largest turban that measures 645 metres takes him six hours

 


Devout Sikh wears the world's largest turban  that measures 645 metres that takes him six hours to put on and weighs 100lb

The holy man says his extra large headgear weighs a hefty 100lb and measures a staggering 645m (2,115 feet) when unwrapped - the same length as 13 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Avtar Singh Mauni has a turban that measures an incredible 645m

The 60-year-old has been regularly adding to his turban for the past 16 years and it now takes him up to six hours to get it on



In full attire, Mr Mauni also carries a sword and heavy bangles, which weigh an additional 87lb.

The height and width of his bulbous headgear makes entering doorways extremely difficult and getting into a car is impossible.

So Mr Mauni rides a motorcycle on his regular pilgrimages across the Punjab.


Accessories: Mr Mauni wears bangles and decorative ornaments that push the weight of his clothing to 100lbs


However, his efforts are impressing many in the Sikh community.

Gurpreet Singh, who affectionately refers to Mr Mauni as Babaji - which means grandfather - says the giant turban has helped reawaken love for their religion among younger people.

He said: 'These days many Sikh children choose to cut their hair and have forgotten to wear turbans. But Babaji remind us of its importance, which is very good.

'The Sikh community can learn a lot from him and our children can learn that they should grow their hair and wear a turban.'

[www.keralites.net] CARBIDE DOSE FOR ALL FRUITS

 

Carbide dose for all fruits

Visakhapatnam: Who would not love to eat a ripe mango? Its delicious taste, unique flavour and health promoting qualities make it the king of fruits.
But beware, while enjoying the exotic fruit, the calcium carbide, being used for fast ripening, has a debilitating impact on the health of the consumer.
In fact, not just mangoes, all fruits, including papaya, banana, pineapple, apple and watermelon, are being treated with calcium carbide for anomalous ripening in Vizag. Not just fruits, even vegetables like lemons and tomatoes are not being spared. This was found during a survey by researchers of Andhra University.
Generally, climacteric fruits, those which ripe after harvest, are too delicate to withstand transportation and preferably have to be ripened near the consumption areas.
Hence, majority traders shift those fruits to the markets and apply calcium carbide for getting good colour, sweetening and ripening the fruit.
Most climacteric fruits, in India, are ripened with industrial grade calcium carbide that usually contains traces of arsenic and phosphorus, and, thus, use of this chemical is illegal in most countries.
In India too, use of calcium carbide is strictly banned. Calcium carbide, once dissolved in water, produces acetylene, which acts as an artificial ripening agent, affects the nervous system by reducing oxygen supply to brain.
