An Indian man who fathered seven daughters has not washed for 35 years in an apparent attempt to ensure his next child is a boy, newspapers reported.
Kailash "Kalau" Singh replaces bathing and brushing his teeth with a "fire bath" every evening when he stands on one leg beside a bonfire, smokes marijuana and says prayers to Lord Shiva, according to the Hindustan Times.
"It's just like using water to take a bath," Kalau was reported as saying. "A fire bath helps kill germs and infection in the body."
Kalau, 63, from a village outside the holy city of Varanasi, outraged his family by refusing to take a ritual dip in the river Ganges even after his brother died five years ago.
"I still don't remember how it all began," he said in Saturday's edition of the paper. "I just know it started about 35 years ago."
Kalau's hygiene regime has taken its toll on his professional life.

Why? I thought Dell tech support worked from their homes.

“holy city” bullcrap annoys me
What's bullcrap about it? It's the Hindu pilgrimage city like Mecca.

All TwoCopperCoins is saying is that some of the posters to this article have taken the liberty to bash Indians in general
Exactly. This article is clearly and open invitation to bash unwashed stoner hippies regardless of their ethnicity.

Is it OK if I post pictures of dirty, funny-looking black people, or is that out, too?
To: COUNTrecount
Okay, I assume his youngest daughter is about 35, right?
