How does the real story of Gandhari's marriage differ from what we see in popular adaptations?

Gandhari

The marriage story of Gandhari and Dhritarashtra is just too simple. Bhishma sent a proposal of marriage of Gandhari with Dhritarashtra through a diplomat to King Subala of Gandhara (modern day Kandhara area including Taxila). He was perplexed and anxious as the would be groom was blind but in the end he accepted the proposal because Hastinapur was a very big and prosperous Kingdom and could be a perfect ally for Gandhara.

Shakuni took his sister to Hastinapur and Gandhari knowing her husband is blind decided to not see things her husband couldn't see and she blindfolded herself and vowed to never see any faults in her husband. With her wise and kind behaviour, she won over her in laws.

What's one of the creepiest real photos you've ever seen?

 Mrs. Andrews baby - 1947.

This photograph of a child appearing above a grave was taken by Mrs. Andrews in 1947. She noticed the ghost when she developed the film, but said it wasn't her daughter in the picture. Although there are several children's graves nearby, the child in the photograph has never been identified.

Girls in Manila - 2000s

The two girls in this photo, taken in Manila, Philippines, reported seeing no one or feeling any presence when the photo was taken. It was also taken with a digital camera, so it cannot have been the result of a double exposure.

A demonic spirit in a hospital bed.

This strange image shows a CCTV camera in a hospital. A demonic spirit appears to be stomping on the bed. Apparently, the person in the bed died shortly afterward. This image could easily appear on our list ofthe most famous monster photographs .

Waverly Hills Sanatorium - 2006.

This picture was taken at an abandoned tuberculosis hospital in Louisville, Kentucky in 2006. As you can imagine, at its peak, the hospital saw an incredible amount of illness and death, leading many to believe in the possibility that it might be haunted.

In recent years, it has become one of the most popular destinations in the United States for ghost hunters.

This disturbing image apparently shows Mary Lee, a nurse who hanged herself in the hospital. The story goes that this poor woman was impregnated by a doctor who worked at the hospital but then wanted nothing more to do with her.

Pawling Fire Department - 1988.

The white figure in this photo is believed to be some kind of angel, looking over Rose Benvenuto, who was involved in the car accident. She said it could only have been a miracle for her to survive the crash, and lo and behold, there is an angel-like figure attending to firefighter Sharon Boo in this photo.

Madonna de Bachelors Grove - 1991.

The Ghost Research Society of America took this photo at Bachelors Cemetery in Illinois, after they noticed strange readings on their equipment.

They didn't see anything at the time, but when this image was revealed, it showed a woman dressed in white sitting on one of the graves.

Are there really people who have grown real horns?

In some people, like Liang Xiuzhen, such a horn even falls off and grows back, like a deer. The second horn then grew much faster.

These horns are actually made of horn, the same stuff our fingernails are made of: keratin.

Most of the time the horns are harmless, but there is often a fear that they could be tumors.

And in recent years, other elderly people from China have also made headlines with their own impressive growths.

(Wang, a Chinese farmer, the "human unicorn")

Why only Chinese people?

Human horns are not a new phenomenon. In 1930, Robert Ripley brought to the world's attention a Manchurian farmer named Wang, dubbed "The Human Unicorn." Wang's horn was 33 cm long and grew on the back of his head. Wang worked with a group of Chinese fakirs, and a tourist took a picture of him and sent it to Ripley.

Unfortunately, the photo was all Ripley would ever get. For years, Ripley offered a large reward to anyone who could track down Wang and bring him to America.

But the horned farmer proved to be as elusive as a real unicorn and was never to be found again.

(I don't know who this woman is)

Madame Dimanche, a 19th-century Parisian woman, began growing a thick horn on her forehead at the age of seventy. At first, the old woman didn't know what to make of the strange brown lump that appeared like an ash-colored patch in the middle of her head. But she knew she had to hide it, and she developed the habit of avoiding eye contact.

But the stump grew relentlessly, bigger and bigger, until it was as thick and dark as a branch." The horn reached over her face and eventually measured almost 20 cm in length.

Fortunately for Dimanche, an innovative French surgeon successfully removed it using an early form of plastic surgery.

A wax model of her face before the operation was acquired by Dr. Thomas Dent Mütter during a visit to Paris and can now be seen in the Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

In 2010, a 101-year-old Chinese woman named Zhang became famous because two horns grew from her forehead. The first horn was almost 7 cm long, while the other had only just begun to grow.

I wouldn't have been particularly happy about such an "addition," but she was thrilled and wouldn't let them be removed.

Such horn growth generally begins with a mole, which eventually ruptures.

Many cases of human horns are documented in the 1894 book Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine by Dr. George Gould and Dr. Walter Pyle.

( Horm in the ear )

They write

"Perhaps the most remarkable case of a horn was that of Paul Rodrigues, a Mexican doorman, who had a horn on the top and side of his head with a circumference of 14 inches, which was divided into three shafts and which he concealed by constantly wearing a peculiarly shaped red cap."

While most horns appear to occur on the head, Gould and Pyle also reported several cases of penis horns.

One of these very unfortunate men grew his horn at the age of 52. He had been circumcised four years earlier – which is painful and frightening enough – only to have a marble-sized horn grow at the surgical site.

Is "Deewangee" based on real events?

 No. The Bollywood hit movie Deewangee (2002) is not based on real events. Though It is an amazing adaptation of Hollywood movie Primal Fear (1996).

In an enterprise that boasts of two powerful performers-Ajay and Akshaye, comparisons are inevitable.

But, to be honest, it's difficult to gauge who's better. Both have belted out powerful smacking performances.

Akshaye Khanna, Bollywood’s very own Charlie Sheen, enacts a suave character with terrific understanding, proving yet again that he's amongst the best in the business till date (as he proved himself in Dhurandar again in 2025).

At the Deewangee movie premiere, in 2002

Urmila Matondkar makes her presence felt in a male-dominated film.

Ajay Devgan essays a complex role with utmost ease, alternating between a simpleton and the shrewd (as part of the split personality!).

The movie reminded me of the recent Ketan, Siya and Chetan triangle and the Ketan Murder

What are some of the scariest real photos of the ocean or its contents?

 The ocean has a bottom with a hole that juts out directly below you.

Stingrays as far as the eye can see.

One thing about the open ocean is that we don't really know what's lurking beneath the ship.

An aerial view of an island with a clear bottom shows the vastness of the underwater landscape. Beautiful yet terrifying.

A huge, gaping hole that juts deep into the ocean floor.

Eel Park.

The ocean is very deep and largely unexplored .

Deep sea fishing.

Do stunt actors look exactly the same as the real actors?

 Reasonable. This is an example of what I mean.

Here's Priyanka Chopra with her replacement actress, Aja Frary:

Here's Chris Hemsworth with his stunt double, Bobby Holland Hanton:

Here's Ben Affleck with his replacement actor, Rich Cetrone:

Here's Reese Witherspoon with her replacement actress, Marilee Lessley:

As you can see from this example, they don't look exactly the same, but they're good enough to fool the camera.

What photos look Photoshopped but are actually real?

 How I fooled as many of you are .😳

In Brazil, people take pictures tempting fate by hanging from this famous rock.

No photo-shops. These are real pictures.

Make sure you check out the last one.
