Agra eyelashes man aims at new record

Agra : A man, who finds a mention in the Limca Book of Records for lifting objects with his eyelashes, is now claiming he can lift a stone weighing up to six kg using only his eyelashes.

Ashok Verma, 54, told reporters here he would perform the feat live in front of a television audience on August 1.

Verma had made it to the 2001 edition of the Limca Book of Records after lifting three 1.5 litre bottles of Coca Cola with a string attached to his eyelashes.

The Agra man is aiming even higher after the stone stunt and hopes to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by using his eyelashes to pull a Maruti car.
