Weird, Bizarre, Shocking acts by Sonia Gandhi, Narendra Modi Devotees

As per a report:

Can You imagine that someone can chop off and donate his finger for the sake of his political idols? The saga of sycophancy in Indian political history reached a new height when a Karnataka man donated one of his fingers at Tirupati. The offering was made at the famous Hindu temple after Congress leaders, Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul, got bail in the National Herald case.

The "painful sacrifice" of Induvalu Suresh, a 35-year-old businessman from Ramanagaram, near Bengaluru made national headlines. A bloody affair After the news broke out, Suresh was hailed as the Congress Ekalavya. It was Ekalavya in the epic Mahabharata who sacrificed his right thumb for his Guru Dronacharya. The only difference between the famous archer and Suresh is the choice of their fingers-Ekalavya's thumb was replaced by Suresh's little finger.

When all of us were celebrating Christmas on December 25, Suresh went to Tirupati, chopped off his little finger and dropped it in the hundi (donation box) as a token of gratitude. However, the news of his 'supreme' sacrifice broke out only a few days ago. "The entire Congress party was worried when Sonia and Rahul were summoned by the court. I took a vow that if my leaders are granted bail I will offer my finger to God," Suresh told TOI. "I wrapped the finger in a Rs 1,000 note with a letter thanking God for granting bail to Sonia and Rahul and dropped it in the hundi. I did not feel any pain when I cut my finger. Later, I went to the hospital adjacent to the temple and told the doctor that I lost my finger while repairing the AC compressor of my car," Suresh added.

Like many of us, Karnataka housing minister and popular actor MH Ambareesh was also appalled by the bizarre act. "You are Kalyug's Ekalavya. But we don't want sycophancy of pain," Ambareesh told Suresh. When politicians turn gods A popular method adopted by followers to express their admiration for their favourite politicians is to build temples in the name of their leaders. Thus, we have temples with lookalike idols dedicated to MG Ramachandran (MGR), Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Narendra Modi, Sonia Gandhi and others.

Nine Month Old Booked for Murder in Pakistan

As per a report:

In a weird & bizarre incident in Lahore in Pakistan, a nine-month-old Pakistani boy has been booked for attempted murder by attacking a police team here. Musa was produced in court where Additional District and Sessions Judge Rafaqat Ali granted bail to the minor till April 12 and directed the police to “record his statement.” Police arrested Musa and his father 

Ahmed in an attempted murder case by attacking police team during raids in Muslim Town, Lahore and produced them in court. Counsel for the accused, Irfan Tarar, said the minor would again be produced in the court during the next hearing. “The bail of the minor will be confirmed once the police declare him innocent,” he said. Senior Superintendent of Police Rana Jabbar said there had been misunderstanding on the part of police to book the minor in the case. 

He said he had suspended Sub-Inspector Kashif Ahmed for registering the case against the child. The child’s father said police had registered a fake case against him, his son and 25 others. “Our crime is that we had protested against non-availability of electricity in our locality,” he said and urged authorities concerned to quash the FIR.

Cockroach Farm

As per one report:

Farmers are pinning their future on the often-dreaded insect, which when dried goes for as much as $20 a pound — for use in Asian medicine and in cosmetics. 

China has about 100 cockroach farms, and new ones are opening almost as fast as the prolific critters breed. But even among Chinese, the industry was little known until August, when a million cockroaches got out of a farm in neighboring Jiangsu province. The Great Escape made headlines around China and beyond, evoking biblical images of swarming locusts.

The start-up costs are minimal — Wang bought only eggs, a run-down abandoned chicken coop and the roofing tile. Notoriously hearty, roaches aren't susceptible to the same diseases as farm animals. As for feeding them, cockroaches are omnivores, though they favor rotten vegetables. Wang feeds his brood with potato and pumpkin peelings discarded from nearby restaurants.

Perhaps understandably, the cockroach business ("special farming," as it is euphemistically called) is a fairly secretive industry. Wang's farm, for instance, operates in an agribusiness industrial park under an elevated highway. The sign at the front gate simply reads Jinan Hualu Feed Co. Some companies that use cockroaches don't like to advertise their "secret ingredient." And the farmers themselves are wary of neighbors who might not like a cockroach farm in their backyard.

Toilet Restaurant - Toilet-themed Eatery outside Los Angeles

Yes, it's true that a restaurant believed to be America's first toilet-themed eatery has opened just outside Los Angeles. As per one report:

The bathroom has been brought into the dining room, with customers sitting on lavatories instead of chairs while they eat. But the restroom theme does not stop there. 

The food, which includes pork over rice and spicy shredded chicken, is served in miniature ceramic toilet bowls and urinals. But diners at the Taiwanese eatery seem to enjoy the experience. Speaking at the Magic Restroom Cafe, one said: "The way they serve us on top of some toilet dishes and sitting on top of a toilet seat, it's very unique. "And some people even put their purses inside the toilets, so it's hilarious." 

Another diner said: "It's really great and interesting for me because we wanted something new to try. This is a good atmosphere for me." Several similar restaurants are already in operation in various parts of Asia.

Bizarre Visa Questions

As per one report here are bizarre visa questions being asked:

A poll by a visa submission website asked travelers to recount the most unusual questions they had ever been asked. Among the strangest, was a question on a Mexican visa form asking the applicant to "describe their beard/mustache." 

The responses applicants could choose from included "scanty," "bushy" or "clipped." Meanwhile, a man traveling to a Middle Eastern country was asked "how many wives do you intend to bring?" during his application process. Some seemingly odd questions may have a rational basis for being on the application form -- Australia, for instance, which takes quarantine very seriously, asks if travelers "have been to a farm in the past six weeks." Others just boggle the mind. Several travelers were asked, "What side of the bed does your wife sleep on?" when applying for a U.S. visa, while those heading to China were asked about the reason for visiting, with "visit" being one of the available responses.

Saintly Man Dreams of Gold Treasure, Government sends Team to Dig it up

It may seem Bizarre but it's true. As per one report:

If you believe in hidden treasures and supernatural powers guarding them, then this story will interest you as much as it has stirred Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The Government agency is all set to dig a 19th century treasure of 1,000 tonnes of gold after a sadhu apparently dreamed about it and convinced a Union Minister that it could help alleviate some of the country’s financial troubles, an Indian Express report stated.

The sadhu, Shobhan Sarkar, had dreamt that Raja Rao Ram Bux Singh, who was martyred fighting the British in 1857 mutiny, asked him to take control of the gold buried in the remains of his fort in Daundiya Kheda village of Unnao district in Uttar Pradesh. Sadhu, who has a good amount of following in the region, informed the local administration, the State Government and even the Central Government about the dream and who without wasting much time on it began to work on it.

According to the report, initially, everyone dismissed it as a joke. However, Sarkar got worried when he heard the Government was actually planning to dig the place and will apparently take the custody of the gold in various temples. “We were lucky that Union Minister Charan Das Mahant took it seriously and visited the spot and met Shobhan Sarkar. Since then teams of the Geological Survey of India and the ASI are working on it,” Swami Om, a disciple of Sarkar said. Mahant, who belongs to Chhattisgarh and is Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Processing Industry, visited the area on September 22 and October 7 respectively.
He told The Indian Express that he heard about the hidden treasure from a panditji from Kanpur who visits him frequently. “He told me that Shobhan Sarkar wanted to meet me. When I met him, he told me about the reserves. He said the quantity was so huge that if the Government can excavate it, it could be handy since there was a crisis with the Rupee,” Mahant said.

Its Amazing, Strange, Bizarre: Maldivian police detained a Coconut over Vote-Rigging

Its really Amazing, Strange & absolutely Bizarre that Maldivian police detained a Coconut over Vote-Rigging. As per a Report:

In a bizarre 'detention', the Maldivian police has detained a coconut ahead of presidential elections over suspicion of vote-rigging claims, in an attempt to influence voting. According to a report, police took into its possession the "cursed coconut" after allegations of black-magic over it. 

On Tuesday morning, Maldivian police found the coconut, termed as 'young' near a school at the Guraidhoo Island, one of the polling-station, where voting is scheduled to take place on the election day. During the probe, the police summoned a white magician, who declared the coconut as "innocent". The 'young' coconut was found 'innocent' by a magician. 

Magician was called to establish whether the coconut was cursed with black magic or not. The police, who cracked the case, then, made no arrests. In Maldives, coconuts are reportedly used to perform black magic rituals in the strictly Islamic nation. The incumbent President Mohamed Waheed will be contesting in the presidential polls with his main rival, former president and leader of the Maldives Democratic Party Mohammad Nasheed.
