India's answer to "Ripley's Believe it or not"

Zee's "Shabhash India" show debuted today with amazing believe-it-or-not type performances from individuals from different corners of the country.

First performer took in water from his nose and threw it like a jet, from ... corner of his eye! That this jet of water was so forceful was it was thrown to distance of about 11 feet. Think about the kind of cavity the person may be having, and the kind of control on his internal muscles.

The second person was having, visibly, the largest lung that I might have seen so far. This person took a truck tube, blew it to fill it completely .... and then blow so much as to burst it!! To be able to do this, his lungs should bear forces greater that what a truck can create when tyres burst!

Both the above people claimed that their capability came from Yoga/Meditation/Pranayama.

And the third one was a small kid talented with skating. In skating, one of the performance is to widen the legs and try to pass through a clearance as small as possible. Now this kind managed through of clearance of 6.5 inches... which was created by lining up some 33 cars side-by-side!!! That is at about 100 to 120 feet long!! Probably the height of this kid's head was about 5 inch - when in horizontal position - turned sidewise. Also, I don't know how he moved all that 120 feet in straight line - because he held his body rigidly throughout.

All in all, Kudos to Zee for having creating this interesting TV show, and having identified such interesting people from different places. The show is going to be there every day ...
