A four-year old boy from Jawaharnagar village has secured an entry in the India Book of Records after recounting the names of the Capitals of 198 nations in 2.55 minutes.
Aged four years and three months, Jawaharnagar resident Mudit is of an age when games are in focus more than academics. However, he has impressed the locals here by memorising and stating the names of 198 national capitals in a period of two minutes 55 seconds.
The boy who attends a local nursery has been impressing locals by using his brain in ways which even adults find tough to undertake. He has memorised facts relating to various countries of the world, their national capitals, Ramayana, Mahabharat, Indian culture, the history of India and general knowledge among other issues.
The kid also enters discussion on such issues. His father, Santosh Kumar Joshi, who is a teacher in Pantnagar inter college is himself stunned by the retention power exhibited by his son’s brain. He claims that Mudit remembers things which are told to him even once.
The kid broke the three minutes four seconds record set by Vibhuti Mishra of Delhi to enter the India book of records. The kid is now said to be preparing for making an entry in the Asia book of records and then the Guinness book of world records.
local residents visiting the Joshi residence out of curiosity are leaving impressed by the mental faculties of the little boy.
