Nischal Narayanam, 11, looks like any other schoolboy, but his amazing memory has put him among the select brand of Guinness World Records holders. This child prodigy beat his own teacher to set a new world record for memorizing the most number of random objects, thereby earning a place for himself in the Guinness Book of Records.
A class VI student of the Gitanjali School, Nischal, achieved the feat of memorizing 225 random objects, beating his own master Squadron Leader Jayasimha, who had set the record in 2005 of memorizing 200 objects.
Nischal’s mother N Padmavathy, a housewife with a PhD in Sanskrit, found in her son some extraordinary memory power and mathematical skills and arranged for teachers like Jayasimha to hone these skills. |
