It may an unusual craving, but for the middle-aged Indian lawyer named Dayaram Sahu eating chunks of glass is all in a day’s work. He calls it an addiction – one that has hounded him for about 40-45 years.

However, the gent, based in India’s state of Madhya Pradesh, says it’s not a habit he would try to get anyone else to give a go. This isn’t because - as some might assume – it’s caused him internal bleeding; it’s because it’s damaging his teeth in a spectacular way. The New York Post has also reported that while his wife was at first shocked at the habit, she’s gone on to accepting it as one of her husband’s quirks.
