Sher-e-Britain – Manjit Singh
Here’s one powerful Indian man. Manjit Singh, a 59 year old security consultant showed off his strength on reality show Britain’s Got Talent.
First Singh blew up a hot water bottle, till it actually BLEW up. He followed up by pulling a car that looked like a Maruti Omni using his right ear.
He wants to eventually pull a Boeing 747 plane.
He will have it relatively easy, though. He plans to use his entire body, so that will probably give him an added advantage over the plane, which weighs in at about 300,000 Kgs.
If only he were one year older, i could have used that legendary line from the DD days.
Saath saal ke boodhe, yaan saath saal ke jawaan!” (Sixty year old, or sixty year young!)
Britain’s Got Talent keeps coming across unique Indian contestants. Readers might recall this dance duo from last year.

Yup!! and Ms. Boyle certainly had some eyebrows rising!!! One of the judge, the one sitting in the center, a pretty one, made such a face when Ms. Boyle walked on the stage, but when she started singing.. the judge’s expression changed geometrically opposite…
Judge should judge, surely, but not form an opinion, even before one has performed..!!!

@rush.Me – I haven’t seen the Boyle video, but i guess its about time i checked it out. As for the judges, reality TV isn’t as much about reality as it is about entertainment. If the judges shenanigans lead to a higher viewership, then so be it!

please don’t sprinkle those “n”s at random where not only are they not needed, but they twist the meaning too.
yaa = or
yaan = vehicle (like ‘chandayaan’)

@somebody – From my knowledge of Hindi, i believe it is indeed ‘yaan’.
Thanks for pointing out though. This gives me reason to check it out and confirm from language experts what the correct word is
@Amit –
