Doha, Qatar: At just two years old, Aakarsh, a child of Indian expatriates living in Qatar, has earned recognition from both the Indian Book of Records and Noble World Records for his extraordinary memory and cognitive abilities.

Aakarsh’s journey into the record books began at the age of 1 year and 9 months, when he was recognized by the Indian Book of Records Achiever for his exceptional ability to memorize and recite a wide range of topics. 

He successfully recited 44 animals, 16 flowers, 14 shapes, 14 birds, 8 planets, 22 vehicles, 28 fruits, and 26 vegetables, answered 17 general knowledge questions, identified 54 flashcards, recited the English alphabet and the months of the year, counted from 1 to 20, and mimicked the sounds of 12 animals.
