Ludhiana resident gains entry to India Book of Records

Ludhiana, December 22

A 49-year-old man from Kidwai Nagar, here, got his name registered in the India Book of Records recently for ‘longest time spent without blinking eyes’.

The India Book of Records has issued a certificate, medal and a photo card to Varjit Singh for setting the record for spending the longest time — two hours and 34 minutes — without blinking both eyes. He now wants to apply for Guinness World Records.

Varjit said: “Around 13 years ago, I recited ‘shabad’ on the occasion of Gurpurb of Guru Gobind Singh at a gurdwara. Later, I noticed that I can spend long time without blinking my eyes.”

“After seeing some online videos, I felt that I can make a record as I could hold my eyes without blinking for a longer time. Later, I approached the India Book of Records. They asked me to submit the original video without any editing. After verifying, the India Book of Records issued me a certificate and medal for making the record for spending the longest time without blinking eyes. Now, I would like to apply for Guinness World Records.” — TNS
