Indian Man Lives in a Tree

After a series of quarrels with his wife, an Indian man
left his home to live in a tree and has been there for the past 15
years. Kapila Pradhan, 45, a resident of Nagajhara village in
the
eastern Indian state of Orissa, now lives in a tree-house 7. 6m (25
feet) above the ground. “Sometimes the villagers feed him
during
festive occasions,” says a local resident Sukanta Dakua.
Cyclones, rain
and wild elephants and monkeys forced him to move to a tree closer to
the edge of the forest, near a village.
