| ’Breathing tomb’ attracts devotees |
| 2003-07-16 |
| TIRUPATI July 15. Wonders seem to be happening in Chittoor district. Last week it came to light that a calf in Pullaiahgaripalle, 18 km from Tirupati, had been yielding two litres of milk daily since its ninth month and it is now a full-grown 13-month-old `cow-calf’. After this rare veterinary phenomenon, it is now a detection of a `breathing tomb’ at Karvetnagar, 45 km from Tirupati. Indeed - will the wonders ever cease? According to local Muslims, they have been hearing the `breathing’ and a hissing noise off and on from the tomb (darga) of Hajarat Sabdar Aulia Baba, a Muslim cleric who lived in the village in the early 20th century and was entombed by his followers after his demise. Or possibley before it The members of the Darga Committee, D.Hameed Basha, Munna and Hameed Khan in a press release claimed that they started noticing the unusual feature from the evening of July 4. They insisted that they were seeing even slight movement under the thick clothing draped over the tomb as though somebody were inhaling and exhaling. They said that suspecting that there might be a snake or a rodent underneath they even removed the drape and searched but found nothing. The Darga is now attracting devotees from all over the district and from Tamil Nadu too. "*gasp* Kill *wheeze* the infidel!" Baba was reported as saying |

| #2 the evening of July 4 If this isn't a sign the Americans are involved, I don't know what is. Now you know where your Area 51 money is going: scaring innocent Karvetnagaris. You wacky Americans :) |

| #1 "We have a magic cow-calf that gives lots of milk! It is very rare." "Oh yeah? Well WE have a dead guy tomb thingie that's breathing. Very mysterious. Very scary. Much cooler than a stupid cow-calf." This debate brought to you by the Chittoor Chamber of Commerce and Tourism. |
