Hats off to the student and the teacher!!
He could not see it, but the thunderous, rapturous applause that will ring in Sanjay Jain's ears for a long time told him that he had earned it. Having just won the longest ovation of the ceremony, Jain stood up modestly, a big smile on his face.
For Jain, who is blind since birth, this was one of his life's best moments. He was awarded PhD in law during the 97th convocation ceremony of Nagpur University on Saturday. Interestingly, Jain's guide was head of law department Shirish Deshpande, who is also blind.
This is perhaps for the first time in the country that a blind guide successfully guided a blind scholar. Jain is only the third visually impaired teacher in the university after DW Wadegoankar and Shirish Deshpande. Jain pursued his schooling from a school for blind and also studied at National Institute for Visually Impaired in Dehradun. He, however, pursued further education from regular colleges.
“My friends, teachers and some members of RSS helped me by being my readers. In those days, all material was not available in Braille and there wasn't any technology,” he said. The subject of his thesis was ‘Taking women seriously – A critical inquiry into the changing parameters of judicial review and perspectives on protection and enforcement of rights of women with special reference to the Constitution of India'.
Jain was earlier rejected by Pune University after he applied for the post of a teacher. Not deterred by the disappointment, he bounced back by getting a teacher's job at the ILS law College in Pune. Sanjay met his wife Suleshi, who has normal vision, when she was a student at Nagpur University. They have a son named Sagar.

Man who has not eaten food for several years
Ever thought of starving or not having food for few days..i cant starve for few hours. But this gentlemen has not eaten any food for decades. Its not less than a miracle.
Read On..
Prahlad Jani grew in Charod village in Mehsana district in India. He claims to have been blessed by a goddess at the age of 8. He says he has survived several decades without food or water because of a hole in his palate. Drops of water filter through this hole, he says, sustaining him. He wears a red garment, nose ring, and gold bracelets. He also sports a ‘tikka’ on his forehead. His followers call him ‘mataji’or goddess.
Prahlad Jani, who has not eaten food or drunk water for 74 years of his 82-year-old life, will be kept under observation by the a wing of the defence ministry for 15 days. The members of Defence Institute of Physiology & Allied Science (DIPAS) want to understand if this process can be replicated in others’ bodies. The observation is being undertaken at the Sterling hospital.
DIPAS Director G Ilavazhagan said, “Jani was earlier tested for 10 days at the hospital in 2003. Neurophysician Dr Sudhir Shah and his team had conducted the tests to certify that Jani did indeed live without food and water. He also did not pass out urine or stool.”
On why the defence ministry was interested in Jani, he explained, “We have soldiers manning border areas where food and water is not easily available. We are trying to locate Jani’s source of energy. If this can be transferred to the soldiers, or utilised by them in some manner, it will be greatly beneficial. It may help in working out strategies for survival during natural calamities, extreme stressful conditions and extra-terrestrial explorations like future missions to Moon and Mars.”
Ilavazhagan, however, was unsure what the study would reveal. “As and when a development occurs, we will reveal it to the world,” he said, adding: “Jani says he meditates to get energy. Our soldiers will not be able meditate, but we would still like to find out more about the man and his body.”
Jani says he was blessed by the mother goddess when he was eight and began living in a cave in Gabbar hills at Ambaji, to be called 'Mataji'. He has willingly accepted to be a subject of this exhaustive project where he will undergo a battery of advance tests, including MRIs, scans and blood studies. Jani, dressed in a red sari, nose ring and sindoor, spends his time in hospital meditating, offering prayers, keeping silence and giving blessings.
Mention of such ‘miracle men/women’ are there in the "Autobiography Of A Yogi” by Sri Paramahansa Yogananda in which he describes about such persons who have not eaten for years together. It is all possible for persons who are blessed by God. In their case they get divine energy from subtle space in their spine.

Class 10 student got married with his teacher in Andhra, India
Well, Well, Well. All of you might have heard of child marriages in India.It's a different sort of child marriage. The teacher gets in love with his student who is just 16 year old, and marries him by running away. Its Weird to hear such things happen.
Read On..
In the Warangal district of Andhra Pradesh, a student at a private school ran away with his Science teacher and then married her at a temple.
The sixteen-year-old groom's mother says her new daughter-in-law informed her of the wedding. "She called up and told that they got married. Being a teacher, she fell in love with her student and married him. He is my only son. I won't accept it."
On the phone, however, the boy's parents asked the couple to return to their home where they said they'd organize a wedding reception for them.
When their son and his teacher arrived at their house, they summoned the police.
The parents want the police to file a case against the teacher, who's 21 years old.
However, the police is trying to counsel the couple instead into living apart till the student is old enough to be legally married.

80-year-old Indian has four wives, 30 kids, another on way
What can i say about this man. He is saying that it is god's grace. No Comments !!
Read on..
At 80, Hussain Ali, a small farmer in Assam, is still going strong but is a little worried as his third wife is expecting his 31st child, even as he is busy cradling a bubbly two-month-old baby boy in the courtyard, born to his fourth wife.
"It is all god's gift and wish that I have a large family of four wives and 30 children," Ali said with a hearty smile as his flowing grey beard tickled the infant and made him cry in his arms.
Donning a skullcap, Ali looked frail and emaciated as he sat in a rickety cane chair outside his cluster of mud-and-thatch huts at Mohkhuli village in Lakhimpur district, about 370 km east of Assam's main city Guwahati.
"Don't judge someone by his weight or height. I am young at heart although I am not going to marry any more and am happy with my 30 children and another that one of my wives is expecting," Ali said as he ordered one of his wives to come and take the baby from him.
His eldest son is 40.But the octogenarian Ali was at his wit's end when asked if he remembered the names of all his children."You think being a father I would not remember the names of my children," Ali retorted with palpable anger and started telling the names of his children, but failed to complete the list after about 15 names.
"At times I do forget their names but recognise them from their faces," he said with yet another hearty laugh."I have no regrets for this large family and all my four wives are very good and caring," Ali said.
All four wives say Ali is a responsible husband and father and gives equal treatment to all of them."He is a nice man and very responsible," said first wife Mohirun Nessa who is the proud mother of 11 children - eight sons and three daughters.The four wives stay in separate huts in the same compound with Ali making it a point to stay with all of them by turns in their respective huts.
"There are no complaints whatsoever from my wives or my children," Ali said.
At least 15 of them are now married and stay separately."At times it was hard to maintain the family, but now with some of my sons working, they help us financially," Ali said.

Child worker in lucknow beaten for four hours
For four hours, he was whipped with a leather belt. Then the eight-year-old's employer rubbed salt into the child's wounds.
This was Mohit's punishment after 700 rupees went missing from his boss' juice stand in Lucknow. When people in the neighbourhood saw Mohit lying injured on the road, they grabbed his employer and handed him to the police.
The employer, Raju, has been arrested and faces up to seven years in prison if he is convicted for criminal intimidation. That is what Mohit hopes for. "I want the police to punish him so that he never repeats this kind of behaviour with any other boy."
Employing children as workers in dhabas and stalls like Raju's is illegal. Raju has also been charged with violating child labour laws. The police have no explanation for why Mohit was not spotted working at the stall and rescued much earlier.
Mohit arrived in Lucknow seven months ago with a friend from his village of Baharaich in North Eastern Uttar Pradesh. He was hired immediately by Raju to peel fruit at his stall. Mohit was allowed to sleep at the juice stall.
The police plan to send Mohit home, but Mohit aspires to a more normal childhood after his traumatic experience. "I want to study ... if possible in Lucknow," he requests.

Boy applies for birth certificate, gets one for death
How do you feel when you get death certificate when you are still alive. And that too when you dont have any records of your birth. A boy in thiruvanantapuram applied for a birth certificate since he did not have one. But he got a death certificate instead. This is one more case of height of negligency of government officials in India.
Read On..
In a bizarre case, a 13-year-old boy who applied for birth certificate has been given one for death by the city corporation here.
Civic authorities said the bungle was a clerical error and steps have been taken to issue the corrected certificate.
A sixth standard student, K Muhammad, recently applied for a birth certificate from a government hospital in the city where he was born in 1997, family said.
When he received the document, Muhammad and his family members were shocked to see the form, in which the vital details were given, stated he died the day he was born.
Asked about the goof up, a senior corporation official said it was the result of a 'clerical oversight' as the section dealing with the birth and death registration was overburdened with applications.
'On an average we receive 3000 applications a day for various purposes including birth and death certificates. Recently there was a spurt in requests for birth certificates since it was required for issuing Unique ID cards by schools,' the official said.
However, remedial steps would be taken on a priority basis, he added.

9 year old karnataka boy set a new record in limbo-skating: Video
I always wondered why sports like gymnastics, skating, etc are not promoted in India. If promoted properly, these might bring us good amount of medals in olympics and commonwealth games.
Leaving medals aside, here is one 9 year old indian guy who has set a new record in limbo-scating. This needs a lot of dedication and practice. Wonder what is limbo-driving, have a look at the attached video.
Read On..
A 9-year-old boy from Belgaum, Karnataka, has set a new record by doing “limbo-skating” under cars while blindfolded.
Rohan Ajit Kokane left onlookers shocked showing them his skilfulness at vanishing under three vehicles, before emerging triumphantly on the other side.
The daring schoolboy is the first to attempt a record at limbo-skating while blindfolded.The World Records Academy has given him a certificate, and nominated his brave efforts for the Guinness book of world records.
The bendy third grade student started limbo-skating two-and-a-half years ago, and trains for four hours every day.“I passed blindfolded under three cars but in future I would try to pass under more,” the Sun quoted him as saying.
Rohan revealed that he was first inspired by a boy skater at a local roller skating rink in Belgaum.“I got fascinated and asked my dad to get me one roller skate because that’s all we could afford,” he said.
He first developed his talent at home, and later took formal lessons from a skating coach.Suryakant Hindelgelkar, Rohan’s trainer, says that he soon realised that his student had a special talent.
He said: “I train more than 200 students but seeing Rohan’s body flexibility and control, I knew he could do something unique. We came up with limbo-skating blindfolded. He is an amazing student. I think he’s god’s gift.” (ANI)

An Indian who holds 20 Post Graduate University Degrees
Ever wondered of doing a double degree..or may be three...its highly impossible now a days because of various reasons. Here is one guy who holds TWENTY PG University Degrees to his name. I wonder what he would call himself. Nevertheless, a great achievement.

He got his D. Litt (Doctor of Letters) in Sanskrit. Most of his Degrees are with First Merit and he has obtained 28 Gold Medals. Between 1972 and 1990 he has written 42 university examinations.
Limca Book of Records lists him as the "most qualified" person in India. In 1978 he wrote the UPSC exam, and got into the Indian Police Service; resigned, took the exam again in 1980, got into the Indian Administrative Service only to resign in four months to contest his first general election.
