Hisar, Dec 3 (UNI) Middle-aged Prem Jangra could well be mistaken as an ordinary man but for the fact that he has never taken a morsel of solid food in his life so far.

Milk, water and a pinch of salt is all that the 45-year-old timber cutter subsists on as he goes about his physically exerting job with an ease that evokes a sense of astonishment in the people of his hometown Hansi even today.

According to his mother Mahadevi, ''I tried to wean him to solids after breastfeeding him for three years but Prem refused to accept anything except milk.'' ''Prem never took food inspite of our best efforts. Once he fell sick and we wanted to give him some medicines but he did not swallow the tablets and refused to take syrup as well. Milk has remained the sole ingredient of his diet,'' she said.

Asserting that he never gets lured by delicious feasts, including lipsmacking sweetmeats during festivals, Prem said he had never taken any solid food or grains ever in his life.

''I only drink milk between three to four litres with a pinch of salt,'' he said.

''I do not like anything else except milk. My medical test report is quite normal,'' says Prem whose two sons, however, relish all the delicacies.

The local administration honoured him recently for his unique diet. He is regarded as 'miracle of today' by the people of Hansi.
