Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:
Saarth Gandhi
, a student from
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
, entered the
Asia Book of Records
and the India Book of Records for being the fastest to recite the squares of numbers from 1 to 200. The Class VI student set the record in six minutes and 54 seconds. While the feat was officially performed on March 31, the aforesaid organisations awarded certificates of recognition to the boy on April 23.
Saarth said he entered the record books due to constant support and encouragement from his parents, Siddharth and Dr Sayali, along with mentor Anand Mahajan. "I had the habit of memorising tables, squares, flashcards, playing cards, and excerpts from books. My parents felt I was exceptional in memorising and encouraged me," he said.
Saarth's mother, Sayali, a dentist, said she realised her son has a photographic memory. "Having a background in medical science, I realised that my son was more gifted than others. We kept giving him tasks that he performed effortlessly. Entering the record books is the icing on the cake," she said.
