His body runs on petrol

TIMES NEWS NETWORK



Madikeri: His name is Hamsa, but he is better known as ‘Petrol Hamsa’ in and around Somwarpet. This 59-year-old craves for one of modern day’s costliest liquids — petrol. Hamsa has been sniffing it since he was just 10, and even stuffs a small wad of cotton waste dipped in petrol in his mouth. He can do without a meal, but not without at least 100 ml of petrol each day.
A native of Karkalli village near Somwarpet, Hamsa worked at a workshop as a child. From a liking for the pleasant odour of petrol and sniffing it as a habit, it turned into an addiction. Today, he cannot do without it: without his shot, he turns weak and cannot work. Swigs of petrol keeps his engine well-oiled.
With the rising price of black gold, it can be a costly addiction for a man of Hamsa’s stature, one would think. But lucky Hamsa does not pay for it: all of Somwarpet knows of his craving, and petrol bunks supply him his fix free of cost. Even at his ripe age, medical tests show he is hale and hearty.
However, Hamsa dreads one thing — smoking! He keeps off smokers and cigarettes for fear of exploding. Hamsa works as an informal bus agent at Somwarpet bus stand. If you find a person sniffing at waste and crying out “Shanivarasanthe, Kushalnagara, Sunticoppa....” that is Petrol Hamsa eking out his livelihood. Hamsa has no close relatives and is unmarried.
