Happy New Year Speechboosters fans. I wish
you all a fun and successful 2004. These last few years have
taught a lot of us to get by with a little bit less, and today I have
the pleasure of interviewing someone who seems to be getting buy with
nothing at all. His name is Prahlad Jani , he's from India, and
he's most famous for his claim to have not eaten anything in 68 years.
That's right 68 years. Do a search on his name, you can read all
about him. This is someone I just had to interview since I can't seem
to go 68 minutes without snacking. So let me get this straight
nothing in means nothing out either, right? |
|
Prahlad: |
|
That is true. I
occasionally sit on the toilet just to see what all the fuss is about. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
What are some of the positive aspects to your not
consuming any food? |
|
Prahlad: |
|
Well
I've never lost my seat at a wedding reception. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
Must be tough on holidays though. What
about Halloween? |
|
Prahlad: |
|
:I would
walk around and say "Trick please". You should see some of the
things people would try to come up with. It made it easy not
having an appetite. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
There must be some disadvantages
you recognize. |
|
Prahlad: |
|
:Certainly. For
example, early on in a food fight, I'm an unarmed man. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
What's the last food you ate? |
|
Prahlad: |
|
Fruit cake. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
Well that explains a lot. Have you
considered living in our country? |
|
Prahlad: |
|
It's tempting since I hear
you have bargain apartments in New York with no kitchen and no
bathroom, but what would I do for a living? |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
Did you
ever consider being a spokes person for Weight Watchers? |
|
Prahlad:: |
|
I have considered it, but
I'm not sure if their theories could all be true. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
Well which ones are you
doubting? |
|
Prahlad: |
|
They say that if you lower
your points all week you can save them up, and eat an extra something
on the weekend. If that's true, I have enough points
"banked" to eat a grocery store. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
If you make the trip to the
grocery store, let me know, I'll want to watch that. Do you
travel much? |
|
Prahlad: |
|
I travel a great deal to
tell my story. You wouldn't believe how many packages of airline
peanuts I have. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
What are some of the strong
religious beliefs that allow you to survive on no food and water? |
|
Prahlad: |
|
There
are many, but one that comes to mind is my strong faith in the honesty
of all the worlds brothers and sisters. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
You've never been ripped off by the guy at the
drive-thru window, have you? |
