Coimbatore: A two-and-a-half-year old kid named T Shamruth Ram, looks at a car plying on the road and screams that it is Benz, Jaguar, Ford Fiesta, etc. but these are not the only cars he can identify.
This wonder boy can recognize more than 165 cars, both Indian and imported ones, just by seeing the picture and its logo.
"It all began at the age of one, when he began passionately screening the pictures of cars in newspapers," said his mother T. Rajeshwari.
She says that in his childhood, he used to spend hours playing with toy cars.
"That time we did not know he was actually so passionate about it. After he turned a year-and-a-half, he began repeating the car names we taught him. Every day, he would take newspaper and keep asking us each car's name appears in it. So, three months back I collected from various periodicals pictures of different cars and made an album for him. He recognizes all the 165 cars if the logo is shown to him," Rajeshwari said.
The mother of the wonder kid also said that he could now also say the names of the capitals of all the Indian states and therefore, they are training him to learn the capitals and the leaders across the world.
