A holy man in India is rolling 1,500 miles from his home in Ratlam to Pakistan to congratulate the country's president for ongoing peace process between the two countries, according to a Local 6 News report. 
The holy man known as Ludkan Baba said he does not plan to eat during the rolling journey to Pakistan. He plans to only take sips of water and smoke an occasional cigarette.Once in Pakistan, Baba plans to meet President Pervez Musharraf to congratulate him for the peace process between Pakistan and India and persuade him to continue the crackdown on cross-border infiltrators based in his country."I will travel 687 miles from Ratlam to Delhi," Baba said. "Then from there I will go to Ujjain to Agra, then to Delhi and from there to Lahore. All my official documents will be ready for visiting Pakistan. I am sure of that. I have to meet Pakistan's President Musharraf there." Baba sometimes rolls quickly and slowly at other times to break the monotony of the long journey, according to the report.Baba already holds a world record for rolling the longest distance when in 1994, he rolled his body from Ratlam to the shrine of Vaishno Devi in Jammu, a distance of 2,485 miles.His body was covered with blisters after completing the journey to the temple.
