Indian man celebrates 138th birthday

[Richard]

As per Indian "Limca Book of Records", oldest person of India is "Habib Miyan", who celebrated his 138th birthday last sunday. He is a resident of Pink City "Jaipur" in Rajasthan state of India. People from all walks of life thronged his residence in Jaipur to greet him on that day. Miyan cut a cake, firecrackers were burst and 139 balloons released to mark the celebrations, joined in by people from as far as Indian States of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, as also chairman of the Rajasthan Minority Commission Sardar Jasbir Singh. "Kisi raees ki mehfil ka jikra kya hai amir, khuda ke ghar bhi na jayenge bin bulawe ke (May you discuss a party of a rich man, I will not even go to God's house without invitation)," Miyan quipped at his house. Asked about his eating habits, he said: "I am open to any kind of food," but added that he was a great fan of meat preparations, even if these were considered too oily for his age. "Gosht roti khao, Allah ke gun gao," Miyan said. Habib Miyan is a very optimistic person, said Dr R K Verma, an orthopedic surgeon who had treated him when he fractured his hip six months back. "He has recovered well." Miyan`s family comprising dozens of members reside in a very small dwelling and he had met President A P J Abdul Kalam during the latter`s visit to the city to appeal for a house. "I am happy that he spared some time for me." Miyan said.

"...but added that he was a great fan of meat preparations, even if these were considered too oily for his age."

To all those Doctors and supposed do-gooders and know alls of our culinary fraternity... shove that up your gauntlet you clowns.


LOLOLOL

I have always been and will be an advocate of well done/cooked good meaty diets with a good serving of fruits and vegtables. "Rare" done meaty diets don't cut it, IMO they do more harm than good. The only time humans need blood is when they're about to go to battle - it brings out the animal in them and helps them physically fight harder. In times of relative peace or when one isn't engaged in arm to arm combat there is no need for such 'canabalism' so to speak. Blood in the guts is great for those who desire stomach ulcers and bowel cancers in their latter years.

139year of such meatyness can't be all that bad... have another souvlaki and a burger on me Habib.:D

139 = 13

  Our bodies are made up of Animal Protiens.   We are not made up of vegetable or Fish....  And yes looooong time ago I thought it was cool to be vegy......

I put his name into an anagram generator and found his name makes "A BABY IN HIM" - - > Habib Miyan. 

Maybe he was young at heart and that helped him live longer too.  Just a waaaay off base guess tho...  icon_confused

Andrew, I agree about having meat in your diet being good for you. I couldn’t imagine living without it.

William, interesting that 139=13. I didn’t pay attention to that until now. There’s that 13 again. ;)

Sily, that’s also interesting about a baby in him. :)

Great vegans:

Adolf Hitler (also a non smoker)
Mussolini (smoked occasionally in his youth but gave it up at age 36)
Idi Amin (also a non smoker)
Nepoleon Bonaparte (also a non smoker)


All of the above were non meat eaters and see what great contributions they made to our societies?

If only we had more of them...:shock:
