Guiness World Records from India.

The Guinness World Records is a reference book published annually from the UK, containing an internationally recognized collection of world records, both human achievements and some bizarre extremes of the natural world. There are scores of examples of Indian citizens, who over the years tried hard to make it to the Gunnies Book of World records, or who finally made it.Shridhar Chillal of Pune grows nails. Five nails on his left hand together measured 205 inches. Here no one questions the relevance of the long nails. It is up to the individual who makes it to the Gunnies. Chillal tried to make it through his nails. He is not alone. There are others in India, who have grown long moustaches to figure in the Gunnies Book of the world records. Media reports says that Kalyan Ramji Sain of Sundargarh had grown, by July 1993, a moustache measuring 133.5 inches; one of his predecessors, a life convict in a New Delhi jail by the name of Karma Ram Bheel, received the permission of t he prison in-charge to keep his moustache untrimmed, which by 1979 had grown to 7 feet 10 inches. And media has repeatedly reported about these individuals and their feats. There is another one. His name is N. Ravi. He stood on one foot for a record 34 hours. As the Guinness Book states, "The disengaged foot may not be rested on the standing foot nor may any object be used for support or balance."Girish Sharma, we are told, improved his record ten years later by nearly 22 hours. Swami Maujgiri Maharaj of Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh remained standing for 17 years, thereby establishing a world record that no one is likely to break too soon. "When sleeping he would lean against a plank ", says Guinness Book.The latest is an Indian mother who is set for an entry into the Guinness World Records after eating 51 of the world's hottest chilli in two minutes. Anandita Dutta Tamuly, 26, gobbled up the "ghost chillis" in front of visiting British chef Gordon Ramsay in the north-eastern state of Assam in April 2009. The Associated Press reported that Miss Tamtty "felt terrible", because she had managed 60 in an earlier local event. Ramsay tried a chilli but said "it's too much" and pleaded for water. Ms Tamuly told AP that she used to eat the chilli as a child "while children of my age roamed the village to look for berries".
