Man Hasn’t Bathed in 38 Years

A lot of people can’t imagine going through a day without taking at least one shower, but 66-year-old  Kailash Singh, from India, hasn’t taken a bath in over 38 years, and says he’s happier than a lot of people who wash their bodies every day.
But what can possibly make a man give up the daily ritual of bathing? Kailash says he told the decision in 1974, shortly after he got married, hoping this would help him have a son. He claims it was priest who guaranteed him a prized son if he followed his advice not to wash or cut his hair. Now, over 38 years later, Kailash Singh is probably the world’s smelliest man, has 6-foot-long dirty dreadlocks and is father to seven daughters and not a single son. despite having been failed by his religious guidance, the old man still doesn’t want to wash his body, and says only a son could change his mind. Although stranger things have happened, fathering a son at 66, with a 60-year-old wife is very unlikely.


 Perhaps things wouldn’t be as serious if Kailash Singh lived in a more moderate climate and had a less physically-demanding job, but he lives in the hills near the holy city of Varanasi, where he works up a sweat tending to cattle in heat that often reaches 47 degrees Celsius. As you can imagine, his wife, Kalavati Devi, has had a tough time getting used to the smell. She claims they’ve tried everything to convince him to give up on his vow, including threatening not to sleep in the same bed with him, but in the end she was the first to give in. Kailash’s family once tried to force him to take a bath in a nearby river, but he fought them all off and ran away, saying he would rather die than bathe. Singh’s daughter says she can’t understand how her father goes through a summer day without bathing, when she takes at least two showers.




If you thought Kailash Singh doesn’t care about personal hygiene, you were seriously mistaken. The Indian cattle farmer takes what he calls a “fire bath” each evening”, making sure he gets rid of all the sweat. No it doesn’t involve purifying his body with fire, but rather smoking marijuana, praying to the Hindu god Shiva and dancing around a bonfire (without breaking a sweat, I guess). He says that’s enough to kill off the worst smells, he says, but his family and neighbors disagree. The world’s smelliest man says they don’t understand it’s god’s decision, not his. He says that without a son, he will probably only wash again in the next life. Right now, he only uses water to wash his face and hands.

Top 10 Designer Bikes In India

Akshai Varde had enough of serving food to people mid-air so he quit the boring job of a flight attendant in 2005 and started Vardenchi Motorcycles.
Today with a 25-people team, Varde now designs, fabricates, custom-builds and sells two-wheelers under the brand name Vardenchi.
We showcase 10 of his most stunning bikes. Enjoy the ride!


Orange Angel is a single-seater with eye-catching orange coloured motorcycle with awesome graphic design.
Unlike other motorcycles Orange Angel has unique designed mudguard and CNC cut alloy wheels.



The most elegant blend of a dazzling streamlined structure and jaw-dropping graphic paint job put together in the subtlest way that you may have ever seen.
Its angled yet comfortable rake along with the low-slung seat gives you a very grounded and stable ride for a long trip along the highway and also a fun thrilled ride through the twisties.
The forward controls with a practically wide set handle bar are a recipe for riding addiction. But the winner is when your Vardenchi Infinity passes bystanders like a bolt of lightening and roars like a beast.





The swordfish inspired pointed fenders, very gothic flames, skull paint scheme and the sharp cut accessories make an onlooker fear Slayer, in an aspirational sort of way.
Slayer is the big brother of our elegant 'infinity' and hence shares the grounded and stable ride. It is louder and will make heads turn like never before. This mean machine will go perfectly with your tattoos and leather collar!



For the bikers out there that don't want a dazzling chopper but instead a compact nimble and sportier custom job on the enfield. Vardenchi introduces the Daytona.
It's a blend of a tight riding position including the handle seat and foot controls, but still gives you the length enough for great straight line runs. Best built on the re-twin spark engine series and comes with sporty graphic jobs like the classic racing stripes.



The latest addition to the stable of Vardenchi is the Dragster. True to its name it has the build style of a monster machine, ready to drag race a quarter mile.
The 300mm 18 rear tyre gives it the enormous appeal when seen from behind, while the 5" by 21" front tyre gives it a nimble handling in the front.
The headlamp on the Dragster is an innovative concept at Vardenchi. It has a halogen (white) for the high beam and a projector with HID set up for the low beam; together they are a great combination for the dark alleys or highway riding on a starry night.
The angel eye around the HID gives it the cool modern look like any high-end car lighting system.
The wheels are billet Aluminium CNC machined out to give the peripheral circular cut outs which add a very sporty appeal at standstill and a dynamic look while in motion.
Some of the other features that add the cherry on top are the triple function rear indicators, the bar end indicators and the matt black heat wrap on the short blast exhaust.
While the Dragster has a modern street and cruiser blends it is the white paint colour with classic racing stripes that give it 80s muscle feel.





The Sunburn is especially designed and built for Asia's biggest music festival Sunburn.
The detail and quality of design are beyond the imagination of most of us. But to own one is to have the sheer power to stop someone in their chain of thoughts when they set eyes on it.
The massive breadth of the 300mm rear tyre brings you upright automatically when exiting a turn. You almost don't need a parking stand!
What is really the most endearing part of having one of these in your collection is how it stops people in their tracks when they see it, never to forget this custom job, or its rider.


The Vardenchi Type II is the purest blend of your Exclusive Custom and a hungry cross-country companion that offers nimble ride and the ergonomic seating.
Comfort makes you want to just keep going on. While the overall size and dimensions of this custom motorcycle category are enough to dominate any other machine on the street, it is still not over the top and allows you to ride swiftly through traffic.
The Type II has all the elements of a spectacular custom motorcycle.



Stealth, very well known as the 'Tech Motorcycle' has unique features like infrared eye, laptop housing, GPS system, charger unit, PSM gaming et al.
Infrared eye:  The infrared camera is installed near the rear number plate. The infrared/normal video feed is transferred to the laptop installed on the fuel tank.
Laptop housing: Provides you with a facility where you can mount a laptop and access the Internet.
GPS system: Touch screen (MapMyIndia) GPS system is mounted on handle bar for long distance journey.
Charger unit: Standard car charger unit, where you can plug in your peripheral and it will start charging from motorcycle's power plant.



This motorcycle is more than a piece of machi#8800 it is a work of art on wheels.So, what is special about Vedic? It has hand-crafted hanuman Chalisa. Every bit is carefully crafted to obsessive level of detailing.
Apart from the state of art, the motorcycles has special features ling in house CNC cut alloy wheels, long bar handle, eye catchy exhaust and much more.
