The Super Kid

Here is three-year old Nehal who not only understands the names of flowers and animals, but also has a clear picture of the history of the country.


Learning each and every aspect within a day, this prodigy has already created a mark, surprising each and everyone around him.Right from the capitals of different states to different road signs, there is nothing which the prodigy cannot recollect. Learning 10 general knowledge questions within just two to three days, he has mesmerized all those who have met him till now. "His power to grasp each and every thing within a short span of time has always shocked us. We have to just tell him a thing once and he never forgets it. Sometimes even I get confused with the answers and capitals but he is always correct," said Punyavathi, mother of Nehal.

A real prodigy
Show him the picture of great leaders of the country and he innocently identifies them all without any difficulty. Not just leaders, he is also able to identify different nations with their capitals and also their different flags. "When he was just nine months old, it was the first time when he surprised us. We used to just show him photographs of flowers and animals and tell him what they are. Later, without any repetition, he used to identify them, at a time when he had not even started speaking. That is the moment when we realized that he is really sharp and special," added his mother.
As of now, the super kid is able to identify nearly 65 road signs, 35 poets and 30 scientists with their inventions. He is also able to answer more than 150 questions in General Knowledge without any mistake. He also identifies prime ministers and presidents of India and recites the names of different states along with their capitals. He even identifies Asian, North American and South American countries with their capitals and flags of nearly 100 nations.

Superb memory power
Seeing his ever-growing memory power, his mother is always keeping herself updated with all the general knowledge questions and names. "In order to keep pace with him, even I brush up my knowledge on a regular basis. We know that he needs special care and we are doing each and every thing possible to keep up to it. His answering depends on his moods and we never force him to do anything. If he wishes to study and say, then only we teach him more and ask," said the mother.

Stealing limelight
Getting trained under super kids, Nehal is also an expert in dancing. He loves skating and is already getting training for the same. Answering innocently to every question asked by his mother, Nehal still shies away from strangers, unaware of his talent. Acknowledging his talent, he has been featured in channels like Suvarna TV and has also performed at different occasions. He has also been awarded trophies and accolades from different organizations at various talent shows held in the city.
"I just want him to be like any other normal child and also to be able to utilize his skills to the maximum. And let him become whatever he wants to be in future," concludes his mother with pride.
Being a prodigy, Nehal has already shown a small spark of his talent. With the years to come, the kid is sure to have more achievements to his credit.

Spontaneous and sharp
As you pose a question, 'How many districts are there in Karnataka?" the answer comes within a fraction of second from Nehal, along with the name of each district. Astonishment in itself, this three-year old kid has more to his knowledge than one can even imagine.
