He got the first gold medal in the ‘Mental Computation World Championship’ at the age of just 20 years…
In this age of science we are amazed to see things made by scientists, one of these machines is a calculator, which can calculate millions in a matter of moments. But can you think of a person who can calculate Even faster. Yes, the name of such a person is Neelkantha Bhanu Prakash, who made the country famous by winning the first gold medal in the ‘Mental Computation World Championship’ at the age of just 20 years.
Neelkantha Bhanu Prakash is a name for mathematics like Usain Bolt’s name in racing competitions. Bhanu says that mathematics is a ‘big mental game’ but his last mission is to eradicate the fear of mathematics among the youth. He was always thinking about numbers and because of this he is the fastest human calculator in the world today.
If you think that Bhanu will have this feature from childhood then it is not true. In fact, an accident rewarded him with this feature. The accident happened when he was just five years old. He suffered a head injury that left him bedrest for a year.
That’s when his amazing journey with mathematics began. Doctors had told her parents that their child might become mentally weak after the accident, so he chose mental arithmetic calculations to keep his brain busy, that is, began to add and subtract in brain at all times.
Even after his recovery, Bhanu continued to do so. At an early age, Bhanu practiced six to seven hours a day after school, a practice that broke the record of world champions. Bhanu demonstrated this by reciting the table 48 times during an interview.
He is always manipulating numbers, even counting the number of eyelids when talking to someone, which may sound strange but he says that doing so would keep your brain active. So far Bhanu has set four world records and many more. Bhanu says he never thought he would become the world’s fastest human calculator.
