Row drives man up a tree for five decades

A man in India's eastern Orissa state has been living in a tree for the past 50 years following a quarrel with his wife.

Gayadhar Parida, 83, who lives in a tree in a village 240km north of the state capital Bhubaneshwar, has repeatedly turned down pleas by his wife and children to return home.

Please note, this is not the same gentleman from Orissa who has lived in a tree for fifteen years after a similar sounding tiff with his wife.
