A 70-year-old man has set a new strange record in his country for just staring at the sun without blinking for over one hour!
According to Philippine News, MS Verma, a retired government officer from Uttar Pradesh, India achieved a national record by looking at the sun for one hour without blinking… He said that he trained for this for 25 years with the help of a meditation guru.

He’s gradually built up his tolerance to the point where his performance was actually not that difficult for him. The man sat back in a chair for an astonishing 60 minutes in front of an audience of reporters, doctors and even dignitaries, with his steady gaze locked on the sun.
Verma was also evaluated by a medical specialist, who confirmed that his vision was normal.
His record breaking attempt was recognized by an official from India’s Book of Records, who placed him as the new record holder
Sounds cool and all, but PLEASE DON'T do this, guys. Staring at the sun can be very harmful and damaging to your eyes!
