Siddhant Gumber, a 12-year-old Indian origin boy from UAE made it to the Guinness for identifying the most aeroplane tails in a minute. He is a home-schooled boy from Abu Dhabi and identified 39 aeroplane tails in 60 seconds. He is also the youngest Indian to identify top 100 tallest buildings, Gulf News reported. Gumber can now easily recognise about 300 of aeroplane tails.
“I have been a Lego buff since I was a toddler, and my father and I spent a lot of time creating a variety of models — rockets, aeroplanes, buildings and vehicles. I was able to recognise a lot of the aeroplane tails, and my mother helped me compile them in PowerPoint slides so I could identify them (very quickly),” news agency PTI quoted Gulf News.
His mother Monisha said that her son has always been interested in signs, symbols and logos. “He has an exceptional picture memory and usually never forgets an image once he has seen it. He does have a variety of interests and likes to know about things into detail, just like air planes. Although he loves country flags, we focused on aeroplane tails for the Guinness record because they too are unique,” she said.
He was recognised in the ‘India Book’ for being the youngest person to identify the top 100 tallest buildings of the world with their respective heights and locations.
