Chennai: Holding his framed Guinness certificate in one hand and a trophy in another, five-year-old K.L. Dheeraj smiled on to the cameras on Thursday. A UKG student of Padma Seshadri school, K K Nagar, Dheeraj broke an existing world record of identifying the most number of national flags in one minute, last week, thereby becoming a Guinness world record holder. He identified 79 flags, breaking a Brit kid’s previous record of 77.
Leena Kalyan, Dheeraj’s mother, described him as a hyperactive kid, who relentlessly pursued things that caught his fancy. “He started picking up words at the age of one, which was very surprising. Later on, when his dad brought him a chart of flags, he slowly learnt them and in day or two he was able to identify all of them,” she added.
A visit to an event in the state, where he saw another kid trying to create a record, got him inspired to make one for himself. Dheeraj has also received an honorary doctorate degree from the world records university in the UK for being listed in the India Book of Records as the youngest person to solve the world map.
At 2.9 years, he was listed as the “youngest to identify most number of flags” in the India book of records. He identified 215 flags in 2.19 mins. At the age of three, he created record by identifying 83 names of inventors by looking at their inventions in one minute. The same day, he became the “youngest to solve the world map puzzle in 3 min 20 sec.”
