Mumbai falls victim to Khali mania

May 14, 2008

Khali, real name Dalip Singh Rana, wore a form-fitting blue shirt and long pants, with his hair tied back in a ponytail and black shades atop his head.

    "My God!" one reporter said to his cameraman. "His arms are big around as my waist."

    It was an exaggeration, but hardly.

    Singh's body most resembles a testosterone refinery, distilling human growth hormone.

    His voice is like a bear's growl, his neck tree-trunk in size, and his absurdly large hands like a wicket-keepers mitts. His jaw juts out at an impossible angle, and his head's a dead-ringer for an Easter Island statue.

    It's difficult to imagine him playing a piano or riding in a Mumbai taxi. He's just too big. Hell, it's difficult to imagine him doing anything but breaking stones or skulls, both of which he's done for a living.
