Mahatma Gandhi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became thick and hard.
He was also a very spiritual man, and even when he was not on hunger strike,he did not eat much and became thin and frail.
Due to his diet he had bad breath.
He became known as a super-calloused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis.-

There is a wonderful story, which may or may not be true, but is worth telling anyway, about a similar litany of desires. According to urban legend, during the yuletide of 1948 a Washington DC radio station asked ambassadors from a number of countries in the capital their preferred Christmas gift, and the replies were recorded for a special holiday broadcast.
The expected answers were intoned: 'Peace throughout the world,' from the French ambassador; 'Freedom for all people enslaved by Imperialism,' from the Russian; and then a call went through to Sir Oliver Franks, the representative of Her Majesty's Government.
'Well, it's very kind of you to ask,' he replied. 'I'd quite like a box of crystallised fruit.' -
