  An Indian man who says he has survived for 68 years without eating, drinking or relieving himself has baffled doctors ...
  
  Prahlad Jani, a 76-year-old, underwent round-the-clock surveillance at a hospital in Ahmedabad.

  
  

  Neurologist Sudhir Shah said Jani was under watch for 10 days, with a closed-circuit camera running, and that doctors were convinced he did not break any of his vows, although there was no way of verifying whether Jani has pulled it off for 68 years.
  

  Shah said he wanted the ascetic to undergo experiments at NASA, as Jani's supposed feat could come in handy for astronauts.
