Four-year-old Bengaluru boy creates record by spells 64 words in a minute

A four-year-old Bengaluru boy Sriganesh Birader has entered into the India Book of Records (IBR) for his spelling mastery.  On Sunday, amidst a gathering that included an Rajya Sabha MP, Sriganesh registered his name in the record books for successfully spelling 64 words in one minute. The requirement was to spell 51 words in one minute. Another record achieved by the wiz kid was correctly remembering the numbers from 0 to 100 in reverse. Jury members from the IBR were present during the event. 

Sriganesh is a student of New Horizon Public School, Indiranagar and studies in LKG. 

“Children usually take around 70 seconds to remember the numbers. Sriganesh, however, achieved this feat in 45.7 seconds,” said the boy's proud father, Basavaraj Birader. Sriganesh can also easily do math



problems that includes additions with double digits. 

Basvaraj spotted his son's exceptional memory power and learing abilities when he was 2.7 years. “He likes watching a lot of online videos and while his mother cooks he watches videos on spellings. One day we noticed that he spelt the word 'carrot' correctly.

He could barely even speak then. Kids at this age would know simple three letter words," said Basvaraj. Realising his abilities, he started to  give his son books and other learning material. The most Sriganesh has spelt is around 800 words that include the entire planets of the solar system.

Basvaraj, who works as a software architect with an MNC is himself a gold medalist from Gulbarga University, he said that his son's vocabulary was better than that of his.
