Hyderabad, Sep 7: An 11-year-old student Nischal Narayan has entered the Guinness Book of World Records for his ability to memorize and recall the names of many objects at random.

The Guinness World Records Limited, London has awarded the certificate to Nischal for performing the feat of memorizing and recalling the names of 225 objects at random.

His parents Nagesawara Rao and N Padmavathy, while expressing happiness over Nischal's achievement, said at the age of nine, he took a fascination for numbers and would try out simple ways to find logical solutions to intricate arithmetic problems. This helped him to become focussed and determined.

They said at the tender age of nine, their son had performed ''Ganitavadhanam''. He also showed his expertise in blindfold chess with his surprise moves criss-crossing the board and checkmating the opponents.

He also conceived the concept of maths made simple and created a primary Math Lab called 'Nischal Math Lab', as a tool to tackle numbers.

He also achieved the rare distinction of being the youngest author of six volumes of books in primary maths.

Expressing happiness over the achievement, Nischal thanked his parents and teachers for their support. He had two years of training from his master for the Guinness feat, he said.
