Age is just a number. It doesn’t define talent, and that’s why sometimes people who age around 70 or 80 do things that shock everyone. In some cases, kids who aren’t even aware of the world outside pull out on complex tasks beyond the reach of adults. They say, ‘Miracles do happen. You need to believe in them. However, in our opinion, miracles don’t happen suddenly, but we make them by believing in our talent.

Avi Sharma is an apt example of this saying. He is an 11-year-old kid who is teaching Vedic Maths to 11th-12th kids in lockdown. There are many other things that Avi has been doing since his childhood. Due to his achievements, he is labeled as Wonder Boy of India. We wanted to know about him. So we got connected to his mother to dig more about his life. Here is Avi’s story.

I’m Vinita Sharma, Avi Sharma’s mother. We hail from Indore (Madhya Pradesh). Before becoming a mother, I used to work as a professor, but I called it off when I discovered Avi’s talent because I wanted to focus on him only.

Since his childhood, he has been very different from other kids of his age. He was more talented and sharp than them. We realized it when he started chanting Sanskrit Sholaka at the mere age of 2. Apart from it, he was able to identify ATMs, credit, and cards when we introduced him to them. These incidents triggered us, and we began to teach him more things like poetry and numbers. Soon, he was able to recite 200 to 300 poetries. He could sing National Song and National Anthem even before going to school. He knew the names of birds, flowers, animals, and vegetables, etc. He could identify colors and traffic signals as well.

Avi was one and half years old. I took him to Jagannath Temple. After a year, he recognized all the Lord statues and photographs hanging in the temple when we went back. After knowing and realizing his capabilities, many people said that Avi is extraordinary as he can use the 3/4th part of his brain. At the same time, a normal human being can only use a tiny part of it. 

During school admission, his principal said that ‘I think Avi should be promoted. He doesn’t need basic education. So rather than KG1, we want to admit him in KG2.’ After hearing the statement, we decided to go for an IQ test. I expected between 130 to 140, but his score was 161, indicating that he is exceptionally intelligent. His score was more than Bill Gates and Albert Einstein’s. It shocked us but in a better way.

We decided to support Avi in doing whatever he wanted to do. As the time folded, Avi started doing many surprising things. He performed on stage at the age of 2 itself & appeared in many TV shows & commercials that includes 4 Short Movies & 1 Music Album on ZTV, SONY, LIFE OK, Cartoon Network, POGO. He did a TVC with the famous cricketer Chris Gayle. Apart from it, Avi gained knowledge of various subjects like Indian Mythology, Management, and Olympiad, etc.

He is a firm believer in Lord Shri Krishna & Rama. He aims to promote the teaching of Bhagvat Gita and Ramayana. That’s why in lockdown, he wrote The Balmukhi Ramayana in his own words in 250 chands. Avi was only ten years old when he finished writing the book and named it BalMukhi Ramayana. He wrote the entire book in the Hindi language so the people could read and understand easily.

This news was covered by more than 60 National and local news channels like Zee TV, NDTV, INDIA TV, TOI, Yahoo news, and many other news portals. Even Mr. Arun Govil shared this post on his Facebook Page and appreciated him.

Avi got 20 GOLD medals and 3 Zonal Excellence medals in the national Olympiad like IEO, NCO, NSO, IGKO, and IMO.

Other than these, he has received International Icon Award 2021, Exclusive World Record for Ramayan, Youth Icon Award, Pride of India Award, Exclusive Talent Award 2020, 3 India Books of Record, Honour from Indo UK cultural forum, National Excellence Award, and many more.

At the age of 9, he worked with the MP news channel in Nanha Anchor Show. He became the youngest news anchor in the country. Currently, he’s running his online interview show named Celebrity Corner as a Celebrity Host. He is interviewing well-known people of Indian society such as Dr. Himanshu Rai (Director IIM Indore) and Dr. Harvinder Mannkar (Creator of Motu-Patlu.) Actor Pankaj Berry, Miss Asia, Miss Universe, singers, authors, CA, Doctors, motivational speakers, etc. Till now, he has interviewed 50 guests.

Apart from it, Avi is teaching Vedic Maths online, learning Ramayan, coding, and dance. He aspires to become Prime Minister of India.

As a mother, it has been a different experience for me. At times, I also get worried when people stare at him with jealous eyes. I feel protective of him. I try my best to protect him without restricting his learning and daily activities. I know it is just a mere beginning of his journey, and many more things are around the corner. I’ll always support him in everything without putting any pressure on his head.

That’s what I want to tell other parents as well. Treat your child delicately, and don’t force them into anything. Each child is different from others. So they must know that they can do anything. They can make miracles. Do not compare your kid with anyone else. Tell him that ‘There is no one like you. You are special for us and for the world too.’
