Long back it was a symbol for pious look. A bearded man was crossing a flooded river in a boat. He noticed a bundle flowing down near to his boat. He noticed bunch of ants holding on to that. He got pity and lowered his head and all the ants got shelter on his soft beard. He had a satisfied mind of helping even insects. After a few seconds the ants made their way to his cheek and started their job of biting. When he could not withstand the pain with his both hands he pressed and wringed his beard.
Pull the beards from all parts of the body of the person who has written this stupid article. I think rediff does not have anything better to publish instead of this rubbish.
