JANASENA Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Moment of glory for child prodigy K.L. Dheeraj from #Chennai, India. A UKG student of Padma Seshadri school, K K Nagar, Dheeraj broke an existing world record of identifying the most number of national flags in one minute, last week, thereby becoming a Guinness world record holder. He identified 79 flags, breaking a Brit kid’s previous record of 77. At 2.9 years, he was listed as the “youngest to identify most number of flags” in the India book of records. He identified 215 flags in 2.19 mins. At the age of three, he created record by identifying 83 names of inventors by looking at their inventions in one minute. The same day, he became the “youngest to solve the world map puzzle in 3 min 20 sec.” “He started picking up words at the age of one, which was very surprising. Later on, when his dad brought him a chart of flags, he slowly learnt them and in day or two he was able to identify all of them,” said the mother Leena Kalyan. His parents described him as a hyperactive kid, who relentlessly pursued things that caught his fancy. We wish Dheeraj all the best in all the spheres of life; hope he keeps making India proud with many such records in future too.
