Indian Man Born With 4 Legs Becomes The Village Outcast

An Indian man who was born with four legs has become an outcast after villagers labelled him a devil.
Arun Rajput has had the two extra limbs – believed to be from an undeveloped parasitic twin – dangling from his back since birth.
But the 20-year-old says he has been forced to live the life of a recluse by those in the remote village of Farrukhabad in Uttar Pradesh, northern India.
Rajput said:

“People laugh at me. They say I am a devil. No one respects me here because I look different. But I want to be like one of them. I want to work like other man.”

The unusual defect has seen Rajput face jibes and name calling while growing up and many locals said his family was cursed.

His extra limbs mean he cannot sit properly, walking has become uncomfortable and he has to have tailor made trousers developed.

But the young man says he does not want to be treated any differently from others.

“I want to do normal things and be treated like a normal person,” he said.

Now, Rajput who is the eldest of four siblings, is eager to have a surgery so that he can get a good education and fulfil his dream of becoming a teacher.
Rajput’s poor parents, who work as daily wage labourers on farms, had taken him to several doctors when he was a kid but returned home when they were told the surgery would cost them ‘exorbitant’ amount.

He added: “I want to take care of my parents. I want to study and become a teacher.”

His mother Lila Devi, 45, said:

“He was born after 12 years of my marriage. We had eagerly waited for his arrival but when he was born, I could not believe my eyes.

“He was very weak. We took him to many doctors but no one took the guarantee. “People call him with bad names. It hurts me most when they call him devil.

“He is a very gentle child. Very hardworking and wants to live a respectable life. I hope he gets rid of the extra limb and can be one of us.”

Rajput and his mother are now hoping for a possible surgery so he can lead a normal life.

Lump Found On Woman’s Ovary Turned Out To Be Her 10cm-Long Unborn Twin

A logistics officer and a mother-of- 2 was horrified to discover a seemingly harmless lump on her ovary was in fact the decades old remains of her unborn ‘twin’.

Jenny Kavanagh, 45, made the grim discovery after she went to the doctors to have a contraceptive coil implanted and medics insisted on an ultrasound of her ovaries due to her age.
Scans revealed a 10cm mass growing in her left ovary and concerned medics warned it could rupture and kill her at any moment.
Surgeons told her it was an undeveloped unborn twin which had grown inside her from birth – complete with face, an eye, tooth, and long black hair.
She said:

‘I feel very lucky that they found it and removed it before it killed me.

‘I try not to think of it too much because I don’t want to feel sad about it.

‘If I’m honest, I did feel sad when I first saw it, because of the size and weight of it, it had already been likened to a baby.

‘But I try not to feel sad about it. I try to remember that it had no heart and no brain.

‘And that it would have almost certainly killed me if they hadn’t found it and removed it.

‘But in one sense there was grief, mixed with happiness.

‘It was like a baby, but I was still glad it was out of me.’

Ms Kavanagh moved to Cyprus in 2005 with her then-husband, to escape the ‘rat race’.
She said she has always avoided doctors and has never visited a gynecologist, but had no problems with either of her pregnancies.
But when she started to have heavy periods she worried it might be due to a coil she had fitted 15 years ago and went to get a new one.
The consultant scanned her abdomen and while her right ovary was totally normal, the one on the left side had a 10cm dark mass, in May this year.
Her doctor assured her it was unlikely to be a cancerous tumour – and probably a teratoma or cyst – but she said she had ‘thought the worst’.
She said: ‘He advised me it would have to come out regardless. If it twisted or ruptured it could kill me.’
After tests proved inconclusive, 11 days later she underwent a three-hour operation to remove the mass at The Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus.
Doctors agreed to take a photo of the mass on her phone and showed her it when she came around, explaining it was a mass of cells which had been inside her since birth.

Jos Bomb Blast: Read What Really Happened

Scores of people were believed to have lost their lives as two suicide bombers detonated their bombs in Jos, the Plateau State capital this(Sunday) night.
Reports gathered that the first bomb went off at a restaurant opposite the Bauchi road campus of the University of Jos at about 9.15pm, while the second one exploded at a mosque near Yan Tyre (tyre market) area of Dilimi Junction, along the same Bauchi road about 15 minutes later.
While the casualty figure from the first blast was given by an eyewitness as 15, the figure from the second blast at the mosque could not be ascertained.
It was learnt that while the first bomb might have been detonated by a suicide bomber as it happened inside a restaurant, the insurgent might have used a rocket launcher to attack the mosque.
According to an eyewitness, the front of the mosque is usually crowded as it serves as the location where the leader of the Izalla sect, Sheikh Yahaya Jingir, normally performs the tafsir (breaking of fast).
The insurgents were said to have targeted worshippers who usually stay around after the breaking of fast.
The insurgents were said to have started shooting sporadically to beat a barricade mounted by security men in front of the mosque before launching the attack.
The eyewitness said, “We have counted 15 bodies that died instantly from the first blast. We are now moving to the scene of the second one at the mosque. But the soldiers are asking us to go back because the casualty is high.”
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Emmanuel Abuh, who confirmed the twin blast, said men of the anti-bomb squad had been dispatched to the area.
He explained that the exact casualty figure and the extent of damage could not be ascertained until the men cleared the area.
Abua added, “It is too early to give any figure. We have dispatched our men there and we are expecting feedback from them.”

Photos: Meet The Twins Everyone Can Tell Apart

Born in 1997. One has straight ginger hair, a fair complexion and deep blue eyes. The other has masses of curls, far darker skin and her eyes are a sparkling brown.

With such opposing looks it’s hard to believe this striking pair are sisters. But they are much more than that, they are twins. The girls were born with radically different colouring thanks to a quirk of their mixed-race parentage.

Lucy and Maria Aylmer’s mother Donna is half Jamaican and their father Vince is white, and together they managed to produce one white twin and one black twin.

TWINS

TWINSSS

They have both lived their lives managing to convince people that they are twins. Dailymail reports that, their parents separated few years after they were born. Their mum said the scan never revealed their colours and she was shocked when the midwives presented them to her.

The girls, now 18, says they have had to prove they were twins by showing most of their friends their birth certificate, lol.
