Water Diviner in Hyderabad

It was my first visit to our Chicken Feed Factory. It was mid eighties and Hyderabad was just getting into news for leader in supply of poultry. I had learnt a little bit about feed, poultry farms from our Nutritionist, Operations Head and Marketing guys. I was new to all this, being a vegetarian.
The important thing that stuck to my mind was that the key ingredient is dried fish and when stored in gunny bags more than six high in the godown, can automatically catch fire.
After going around the factory and other routine things I inspected the godown. They were stored properly. Then I asked them in case there is fire how do you tackle it? Their reply shocked me. There is no water. They had tried to put bore well at many places but no water was there. I too looked around pretending to be an expert, HO guys are supposed to know everything. Then I talked of getting a water diviner but they all were very skeptical . I was too but our job is to find solutions and be ready for emergencies. In the office I took out a news paper cutting from my file. I had read about it in a newspaper and had kept it out of curiosity. I had seen many unusual things in South , including Sai Baba, Vastu Shastra etc and I was learning.
I gave the water diviner a ring and told him our problems. He said come at 6am tomorrow, and I will come with you after I complete my morning Pooja. He was a Brahmin with horizontal teeka and as a very special gesture, allowed me to go into his Pooja room. On the roof they showed me a complete om sign formed by a reflected light but I could not see any source even after much scrutiny. I was told it has been there for a long time, they had no idea how it came about.
The diviner walked around in the factory. Then he opened his bag and took out a pair of leather gloves. My suspicions took a jump, a great Brahmin wearing leather gloves! Then he took out a one inch diameter copper rod bent in U shape with extended ends to hold by hand. He held in in his gloved hand started walking. I watched his hand very carefully, he would pretend to have felt some thing, then he will say something, collect his few hundred rupees and go off. Suddenly the copper rod started rotating furiously, as if a 40 HP motor has been switched on! He immediately stepped back, sweating profusely. I knew then about the leather gloves, his hand would have got burnt!
He rested for a few minutes, wiped his sweat and went to the same spot. The rod again whirled violently and he stepped back. He then checked other places and finally came to the same place. Then he took out a plastic bottle filled with ganges water, tied it to the copper rod and it again it whirled, he tried several times with more bottles, wrote something down and finally told me the depth at which the water is available.
I tried to do that but nothing happened! I went and dropped him home, he invited me to come again. Wish I had the time. Later, water was found there on second drilling, to my great relief.
I had read about water divining in Wild West novels where some take a Y shaped dried branch of a tree and walk in the same way holding two sides and the third gets pulled by gravity where water may be there. Later I met an expert in Bangalore who used to hang a rudraksh on a string, and if water is there it's starts rotating clock wise fairly fast. I tried that too. It worked.
I belong to the category of people who do more than just talk, how do I set an example to youngsters, that there are people who solve problems.
My juniors had a great regard for me, the seniors went against me. They had not been taught all that!
