DEAD MAN ALIVE
India never fails to surprise! A viral video captures an elderly man springing back to life from his own cremation pyre, leaving mourners in shock and the internet in stitches. A story of a dead man.
India, the land of diversity, spices, and strange-but-true stories, has once again outdone itself. A viral video is racing through social media faster than your neighbourhood aunty’s gossip network. The star of this blockbuster? An elderly man who quite literally rose from the dead—well, from his own cremation pyre.
Now, I can’t remember the last time India bagged a gold medal in the 100-metre hurdles at the Olympics, but if our athletes start taking notes from this chap, we might just have a new sporting legend in the making. Let me share the story.
This bizarre incident comes from the rural parts of India, where an old man decided to bid farewell to this world. Or so everyone thought. The atmosphere at the cremation ground was filled with sadness, with friends and family wailing, neighbours whispering about property distribution, and that one distant cousin ensuring the snacks were on point.
The pyre was set, the flames flickered, and just as the fire began its job—BOOM! Out sprang our very own Lazarus, leaping off the burning logs like a kangaroo on steroids. Chaos ensued. Some mourners screamed, some ran for their lives, and the bravest of the lot did what any responsible citizen would—whipped out their phones and started recording.
Within hours, the video was everywhere, spreading faster than an overpriced gym membership post-New Year’s resolutions. The internet did what it does best—memes! One user joked, “He must have forgotten to buy ladyfingers at the market and realised his wife’s wrath is scarier than death itself.” Another quipped, “Maybe he left the AC on at home and came back to turn it off before the electricity bill followed him to the afterlife.”
The laughter hasn’t stopped since. If this man can escape death and keep Yamraj on hold, surely you can escape your Monday blues. Show this article to your boss—who knows? You might just earn yourself a day off (or at least a coffee break filled with laughter).
Enjoy the video, and remember—never count an Indian out, even if he’s already on the pyre! Though we have not verified the authenticity of the video.
