UAE: Two pairs of siblings make it to India Book of Records

In recent months, many UAE-based kids have notched up awe-inspiring feats.

Two pairs of siblings from the UAE have made it to the India Book of Records, after notching up record-breaking feats.

While 9-year-old Mohammed Shazin answered 45 space-related questions in one minute, his 6-year-old sister Fathima Sana also wowed judges by identifying 49 flowers and recalling their scientific names — including Rose (Rosa Indica), Bottle brush (Callistemon) and Mallow (Malva Sylvestris) — in just a minute.

On the other hand, 10-year-old Akshara created history by reciting the most number of brand taglines in one minute after seeing their logos, while her 5-year-old brother Adithya recited nine-digit numbers in the international numeral system - in one minute.

The India Book of Records acknowledged their feat by presenting Mohammed and his sister Fathima, along with Akshara and her brother Aditya, with certificates, medals and a badge.

In recent months, many UAE-based kids have been scripting their names in the record books through some awe-inspiring feats.

Mohammed and Fathima’s father Sidhiq Puthiyantakath told Khaleej Times that it took his children about a month to prepare for the record. “Shazin had a subject on space and matter. He developed interest in outer space and began learning for it. We registered for the record, and he prepared for it in a month.”
