Martial Arts is only for self-protection, it can never be used to hurt others. Wonderful message conveyed clearly by this movie. Self-discipline is the secret for any success. The down to earth character played by Jackie Chan is a refreshing change for him. Pain and failures are here to remind us how big is the world. The kid character was played by Jade Smith, son of the famous Will Smith. All characters in this movie executed well. How one should face the failures, humiliation and other negative elements is something that is invaluable for the growing kids.

This movie can be added in a must watch list for all kids. Kids don’t follow your words, they follow your actions. So parents and teachers should pay attention to what they do in front of kids. Overall this is a very good movie with eye-catching graphics and nail biting scenes. The Karate Kid is a good entertainer with many precious messages.

Humans invented the calculator but full potential of the human brain is still unexplored. Well, maybe this kid did something by breaking and making the records in mental calculation. Unlike the normal human calculation, mental calculation requires the complete involvement of the brain to compute with accuracy. She doesn’t calculate with the mind but achieved many milestones with this amazing skill. She is the only contender in the world who has done mind calculation with 100% accuracy in all the five world mental calculation championship events.

While it looks enough already, but she was just getting started.

Priyanshi set her target at Mental Calculation World Cup. She competed and entered finals in 2010. She was the youngest finalist in that competition,  held at the University of Magdeburg, Germany. Her determination and accurate mental calculation earned her the Mental Calculation world champion title. She did this by competing with 37 competitors from 16 different countries.

At the World Cup competition, she stood 1st in extracting square roots from 6 digit numbers up to 8 digits. She became second in addition and multiplication. She had this instant liking towards square roots which made her fight to be the toughest one for other competitors. Her World Cup achievement survived the test of the time. She is the only competitor in the world who has 100% accuracy in all the five mental calculation World Cup till date.

World Cup achievement alone could not quench her thirst and she set her next aim at Memoriad Cup and won. She got selected to compete in Memoriad World Mental Olympics competition in 2012. On 3rd January 2013, this talented kid made another record in Mental Calculation of Square roots. She finished 10 tasks of 6 digit numbers.

When you do what you love, the journey of life will be memorable. A valuable lesson we could learn from a kid holding the world record as the youngest Tabla Master ever at 6. The child prodigy in playing the Tabla, Trupturaj Pandya, the youngest Tabla Master of the World.

The history set to be created, when he was born on October 23, 2006. He grew up by listening to his grandmother’s devotional songs. That music was one of the essential ingredients in his daily routine. It happened on one night when he played with the Dholki that he received from neighbour aunt and it was so rhythmic. His parents woke up with surprise and the cute rhythm brought tears of joy in her mother, Veena Panda’s eyes. It kick-started the journey of the youngest Tabla Master at that moment. His parents believed that he was born with a rhythm and supported him by all means.

Trupturaj Pandya had the natural attraction towards percussion instruments. He used to play with small utensils while his grandmother sings devotional songs. He made his first public performance at 2 years at Somaiya college – Vidyavihar, Mumbai on January 18, 2009. His crucial public performance happened at 3 in All India Radio on November 15, 2009. They awarded him the Baal Kala Ratna award for his exceptional performance. Folks and devotional songs are his area of interest.

Trupturaj Pandya continued to perform in various locations. He performed in Doordarshan at 4, they had to arrange two cushions for him to reach his instrument. Once again it was a wonderful performance. His father Atul Pandya applied for Limca book of records but got rejected due to his son’s age restrictions. Atul Pandya realised his sons true potential after a series of public performances and prepared him for the world record attempt. So he didn’t give up and forwarded the application to Guinness book of world records.

Trupturaj kept performing without any time break and mastered his skills. By 2013, he already completed 50 public performances. His father remembered the application process of his only son’s worlds record attempt in 2013. He began the application process during the previous years Ganesh Chaturthi and got the confirmation during that year’s Ram Navami. Atul Pandya was closely watching his son’s growth as a Tabla Master.

The most remarkable achievement in Tripturaj’s life happened when he was 6 years old. Tripturaj attempted the world record for being the youngest Tabla Master of the World. In this awesome attempt, he broke the record of Rajat Kumar Mishra, who made this record at 7. Tripturaj is well known in the musician’s world and already a favourite. Legends like Ustad Zakhar Hussain, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Ustad Iqbal Ahmed Khan congratulated him and helping the champ to excel in his area of interest.

The champ is currently being trained under professionals; we think this is just a beginning and wishing to achieve many more like this.

Google is a search engine programmed by humans. It seems to be a powerful invention which has information about almost everything. But the human brain contains more potential than these search engines. Sadly we have unlocked only a portion of it. The renowned scientist Albert Einstein untapped more capacity of the brain and had an IQ around 150. Kautilya Pandit who lives in Chandigarh, Haryana has IQ range close to this value. He is also known as the Google boy of India.

Kautilya Pandit was born on 12th December 2007, in Kharhar Village, Haryana. His father, Satish Sharma is a teacher and runs a tuition-based school in Kohand village. Initially, Kautilya was studying in this school. He has two siblings who team up with him to sharpen their knowledge. During that time, he surprised everyone by asking a lot of questions out of curiosity. He kept asking what, why, who, where and many more about the things around him. It went to an extent, where his own parents were shocked by his knowledge depth and questioning ability. They took him to the brain science department in Kurukshetra University to test his true potential. The university was testing all his abilities and really enjoyed to interact with him.

Kautilya is studying in Bhavan Vidyalaya Panchkula and Chandigarh. He has great exposure to wide range of topics that includes statistics, geographical locations, and data, trivia, mathematics, etc.  While kids at his age were trying to remember the next alphabet, he was talking about any country’s politics, statistics and much more. This little genius is currently exploring astronomy and aspiring to become an Astro-scientist. His talents and skills are expanding as like the universe.

Kautilya was invited as a guest contestant in Kaun Banega Crorepati on the eve of Children’s day, a famous Quiz Contest. He impressed Megastar Amitabh Bachchan sir by answering all questions without any second thought.

“That genius kid Kautilya Pandit, just above five years and answers questions that many scientists and knowledged persons could never (answer),” Bachchan applauded the Google boy of India on Twitter. Since then he got the attention of people from all corners of this country.

He also met the founder of Super 30, Anand Kumar who is also a mathematician. They both had an interesting discussion on various topics and also applauded Kautilya’s talents. In 2016 he addressed 150 CEOs from various sectors as a guest speaker at HM Network Advantage India. Kautilya’s grandfather JK Sharma expressed his willingness to provide all possible support to register so that he can excel in his desired field.

According to the tests conducted by Dr. Kapil Singhal this little champion has an IQ of 130, which is uncommon for his age group. It is no wonder that he is interested in Astronomy and wanted to explore the world and its universe. This 10-Y-O kid was awarded the title ‘Bol Manishi’ by Kashi Vishwanath Varanasi. Haryana government awarded Rs. 10 lakh for his achievements. Shree Shree Dadi Gulzar of Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University, honored Kautilya and blessed him for great success in future. It is such an inspiring story and we wish Kautilya a great success in his future endeavors.
