Indian Documentary Exposes Cannibalism Among Secret Hindu Sect

POSTED: 12:17 pm EDT October 27, 2005

BOMBAY, India -- A new Indian documentary focuses on a secretive sect of Hindu ascetics who eat corpses in the belief that ingesting dead flesh will make them ageless and give them supernatural powers.

"Feeding on the Dead," a 10-minute documentary, delves into the little-known world of the Aghori sect, whose holymen pluck dead bodies from the Ganges River in northern India.

While the sect has been written about, they've rarely been filmed performing rituals.

The director of the documentary said it took him more than three months to gain the trust of an Aghori and persuade him to be filmed while performing a cannibalistic ritual.

Hindus generally cremate the dead, but bodies are sometimes ceremonially disposed of in the Ganges, and the Aghori find the corpses they need in the river.

Blogallenge!

Well... I accepted a challenge from Alarond to Blog on how much I 'like' going to school....

So here it is. But then the discalimer
I HATE GOING TO SCHOOL. THE ONLY THING I HATE MORE IS GOING TO THE DENTIST'S. MY IDEA OF HELL IS GETTING MY TEETH DRILLED IN THE STAFF-ROOM OF MY SCHOOL BY MY PHYSICS TEACHER. SO DO NOT GET ANY IDEAS ABOUT ME 'LOVING' SCHOLL {See I can't even spell it}

Here is my essay:

BACK To School

At last the saviour of our boredom: School is going to start at long last. I was getting pretty bored, now that school has started, I could get back to studying. Wow! I love studying! We are going to learn Statistics in a record 3 days including Mode, Median etc. Isn't that cool? That is very cool! I'll be waiting for my Physics teacher to make us learn Nuclear Physics and my Chemistry teacher for Atomic spin! Nice I know. I can start talking to my friends in reality. I can't wait to get back!!!!!


Thats all I can say for going back to school.
But then what I can say against it can be summed up in one word :
BLECH! {translated as :BLECH!

Thats for anyone who missed the sarcasm!

Cat-fight!!!!!!!!

From our staff reporter

There was a catfight at 11:30 p.m yesternight. The cats were allegedly fighting for food, a local observer said. "The Cats were fighting at night, and then they woke me up... The larger one said Meeeeeeeeeooooww while the smaller one said Meeeoooooooooooooow. They were fighting like anything. They woke me up." said the Yasser Arafat * who was visibly shaken. But Airulogist Joshiyo* claims that by the sounds they produced, it was apparent that they were NOT fighting, but it was a mating ritual. He claims that Arafat scared them off before they could go on. But the landlord, (Who does not wish to be named) said that it was the previous day's leftover fish from Durga Puja....

Optimizing virtual memory

How is 5.04 GB of virtual memory addon to 512 MB of Memory?????

Calcutta is the only place where......

Traffic jams are common which comprise 1 tram, 4 autos, 6 taxis, 2 mtorcylces and 10 cars. I HATE it.

Wel, there was this tram which got derailed {pretty common as these things are ancient} and blocked one lane of traffic. Then one auto {A three-wheeled thingus automobile. Hasn't anyone seen Octopussy?} decided enough was enough, and decided to cross over the other lane. That was exactly when another auto came from the other side. They blocked each other and started bickering. The motorcyclists also got out and started bickering. 2 autos on the sly tried to get past. Unfortunately only tried. 1 driver got out and as a policeman hassle-freed the unfortunate road near College Street in Calcutta.

Durga Puja

Well, I am not one of those Pandal hoppers. But then I was forced to go as the photographer. I hate the pujas. Its not that I am not a Hindu or anything, but then the sound, the dB level etc. sucks. But then.... Enjoy











I am exhausted....

Pujo eshegaeche!

Yep. This is the time of the year when....

1.) you can't even see Betelgeuse in the sky because of the ground lights.

2.) a man walking has better advantage than a person who has a car.

3.) you arre woken up at 4 in the morning by the shouts outside

4.) The policemen do their duty for once

5.) Kolkata looks its brightest.


Yep its Durga Puja!

Well, I really don't like this time of the year. But the happiness spreads like dengue.{This joke will be understood by calcuttans only}. And one can't help becoming a pakka bangalee {Total Bengali}.

- All of your friends take a step away from you whenever someone refers to Gandalf (g-au-nd-au-lf) as G-an-d-a-lf.
- You hang out in a shadowed corner of bars to pester little people.
- You wish your feet were bigger and only wear shoes when nessasary.
- You refere to your garden as "Gamgee's Garden."



- You carry a bottle of water with you when you go out. If you get mugged you hold it up and start chanting in elven.
- You have a fear of spiders. (Who knows when one will grow to the size of your house?)
- You write poetry in Quenya.
-You have daily arguments between your LotR enemy { For me its Alarond}
- You start Naur en edraith ammen... if someone even mentions Harry Potter

LotR jokes!!!

What did Pippin do when he got drunk?
He began to feel Merry

Radagast had stayed up all night studying for his zoology test the next day. As he entered the classroom, he saw ten stands with ten legs on them. Each bird had a sack over its head; only the legs were showing.
He sat straight in the front row because he wanted to do the best job possible. Yavanna announced that the test would be to look at each of the birds’ legs and give the common name, habitat, genus and species. The student looked at each of the birds’ legs. They all looked the same to him. He began to get upset. He had stayed up all night studying and now had to identify birds by their legs. The more he thought about it the madder he got.
Finally he could stand it no longer. He went up to Yavanna’s desk and said, "What a stupid test! How could anyone tell the difference between birds by looking at their legs?" With that Radagast threw his test on Yavanna’s desk and walked to the door.
Yavanna was surprised. The class was so big that she didn’t know every potential Maia’s name so as Radagast reached the door Yavanna called, "Maia, what’s your name?"
The enraged Radagast pulled up his cloak, showing his leg and said, "You tell me! You tell me!"

Two orcs were walking through the pits of Isengard and one said "Aren’t you afraid of mad-orc disease?" To which the other replied, "Don’t be stupid, I’m a penguin!" { IP IP IP IP IP , My teech}

-Gandalf looking into Palantir-
"I knew I should have watched the weather report for snow-deep on Caradras instead of that silly Ricky Lake show..."

What did Pippin say when he first came to Fangorn?
"May I ENT-er?"

After the visit of Gimli, son of Gloin, the dwarves started coming to Lorien pretty often. Poor Galadriel became bald like a knee..

During The Last Alliance of Elves and Men, an elf was captured by an orc. He was injured very badly, and his arm needed to be amputated.
He asked the orc, "Could you send my arm to Mirkwood?"
The orc said he would.
The next day the elf’s other arm had to be amputated, and he asked if it could be sent to Mirkwood, too.The orc agreed.
Then the elf’s leg had to be amputated, and he asked the same thing. The orc agreed to that as well.
But when the elf’s other leg had to be amputated, and he asked thing same to be done with it, the orc got fed up.
"Now hold on," the orc said, "You’re trying to escape, aren’t you?"

An Ent was once walking by the bank of Anduin and saw a strange log with eyes.
"Hum, hurum?" - he wondered.
"Gollum, Gollum" - the log confirmed.

And the minstrel exclaimed:
-Listen, peoples of Arda! Listen to the ballade about Frodo of the Nine Fingers,Sauron the Red-Eyed, Samwise the Brainless, and other invalids of the Third Age...

Gandalf was lighting his pipe in the burial chamber of Balin:
"Naur an edraith ammen! Naur... oh, shit. Summoned the Balrog...Run!"

Wandering

Like a planet.
Got this book on astronomy from the library called Diamonds in the sky.. It had yellowing pages. I had no idea of how old it was until I read that at that time a new spectral line was found on the Sun of which there was no instanceOf on Earth. Of course HELIUM.

I killed a few Fel Beasts and one Balrog. Getting bored. My comp is to be executed{Read: Formatted} Boo Hoo.

Just because of that I used a Nova Blast.

Bored

An idea strikes home!

I got this idea somewhere. Post the last lines of the books you have read:
Lets see if you can say which books these are from.

  • 'Well, I am back.' he said.

  • 'Thank goodness!' said Bilbo laughing, and handed him the tobacco-jar

  • Thus made their mourning the men of Geatland,
    for their hero's passing his hearth-companions:
    quoth that of all the kings of earth,
    of men he was mildest and most beloved,
    to his kin the kindest, keenest for praise.

  • Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of
    hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how
    she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and
    loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about
    her other little children, and make THEIR eyes bright and eager
    with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of
    Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their
    simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys,
    remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.

  • As in his life he was inferior neither to Philip of
    Macedon, the father of Alexander, nor to Scipio of Rome, so he died in
    the same year of his age as they did, and he would doubtless have
    excelled both of them had Fortune decreed that he should be born, not
    in Lucca, but in Macedonia or Rome.

  • Like a flock of homesick cranes flying night and day back to
    their mountain nests let all my life take its voyage to its
    eternal home in one salutation to thee.

  • And, as if in confirmation of their new dreams and good intentions, as soon as they reached their destination Grete was the first to get up and stretch out her young body.


Oh and also to be added, last lines of the songs you've heard.

  • Aicha Aicha - in my life

  • For that's enough to argue.

  • 'Til then I walk alone...

  • Cause you know you got me by a string, baby

  • you took away my heart,

  • I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore...

  • You don't feel me in here anymore...

  • all that's left of yesterday

  • I've been waiting...

  • Ooooh ooh, this my shit, this my shit

  • It ends here tonight.

  • I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside

  • servatis a periculum
    servatis a maleficum

  • And I can't love you, anymore than I do

  • I've got to breathe I can't keep going under

  • but you still have all of me
