Thanks to the medical advances, our life expentancy has gone to 80+. If we dont keep ouself fit our later life will be half dead with all kinds of life style diseases. Now our idol shall be Manohar aich. Live life fully, keep fit always. No amount of wealth and money are equal to the robust health in the later years.

Actually, Manohar Aich was not a Mr Olympia… he won a Mr Universe short man class (1953 or 54)… the other Indians who won in Mr Universe was Monotosh Roy (again short man class … the legendary Steeve Reaves won the overall title) and much later, Premchand Dogra (he won the middle weight class if I am not wrong, not the overall title…)

Mr Olympia as a contest start in the late 60s, probably after both Monotosh Roy and Manohar Aich had stopped competing…

Maybe he can train the Indian Prime Minister how to be a man. I cannot believe how India keeps bragging about important they are becoming while they are so impotent in their own region. They keep trying to be friendly with China which repays that with tough talk on Arunachal Pradesh. And now India is trying to get TIbetan freedom protestors from saying too much.

Aich was so ahead of his time--giant killers (BBs 5'6" and under..generally) weren't really visible on a large scale till the 70s (Mohammed Makawwy, Danny Padilla, Franco Colombu) and today, Lee Priest.

and Bong Breaker, I do 'remember' Prem Chand even though he was competing internationally just a few years after I was born.

Toned muscles at 93 is really inspiring. Reminds me of my late chacha. My chacha would drink half a bucket of fresh milk every morning before exercising at the village akhada in north karnataka.
