Manohar Aich, the bodybuilder who became the first Indian to take the Mr. Universe title in 1952 and won the nickname 'Pocket Hercules' for his tiny stature, has died at the age of 104. Aich died at his home in Kolkata on Sunday, his son told AFP by phone.” Our father used to say discipline comes from within. He always maintained a strict regimen,” said Manoj Aich. “His simple diet of milk, fruits and vegetables along with rice, lentils and fish kept him healthy. He never smoked, nor did he take alcohol.”
