The WTF quote of the day comes from a 30-year-old woman<\/a> who wanted to “find a match” and went to a tantrik named Farid Shah for help:<\/p>\n Shah said that sacrificing a rhino would remove all obstacles and within a week’s time I’d get married. I paid Rs 2.95 lakh to perform the puja. He told me that he would book air tickets to go to UP to catch a Rhino and will return after completing the puja.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The cops are looking for Shah, and they’ll presumably book him for fraud when they find him—unless he really sacrifices a rhino and the chick hooks up with someone. So he’ll get what he deserves. But what of the woman? She’s apparently the daughter of a retired ACP, and is now a manager in a software company—that means she has a certain minimum level of education. I hope her friends and relatives are kicking her ass bigtime for her stupidity. How could she believe that a rhino sacrifice would help her find a man?<\/p>\n That said, I find her faith no odder than that of anyone who goes to a temple or a church or a masjid and prays for anything at all. Still, we’re all entitled to our beliefs, and the faith of others is none of my business. But I am<\/i> bemused when they complain about the consequences.<\/p>\n (Link via separate emails from Girish<\/a> and Doc.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
