Achamillai, Achamillai

After a long day at office went home late & tired. During my late dinner, I was scrolling through the TV channels in search of a good show. Happen to see JAYA TV's Achamillai Achamillai show hosted by actress lakshmi. Thought it was a kind of talk show & problems that were faced by the individuals were discussed. But got a sound pinch. Yesterday, the show was bringing four young children into limelight who have extra-ordinary talents in them or developed over a period. Each one had something different at an very early age.

First one was Nirupama. She had not gone to school till now. When she was 3 years old, she had began to read all novels, poems and magazines. She had translated many books written in tamil to english. She said that once she went to a school for reading in the library. She completed reading the whole set of books available in the library in a couple of days & felt boring. Her parents were working in Mumbai. But they had left the job & packed their bags for starting a school in a village near Tiruvarur, offering free education.

Next one was Vishalini. She was 6-7 years old. It seems that she was having an IQ of 220. At this age, she was able to answer to questions in any subject area. It was told that when she was born the doctors had said that she may not speak. But to surprise she started to speak very early than normal babies do. She was continously exposed to various subjects by her mother. Her mother said that she used to read & show her all books available & she used to grasp it at very fast pace.

Next one was Sathyanarayana. He can play piano & violin at this age like an expert. He was able to bring the essence of carnatic music in piano which was said to be difficult. Recently, he had played a 3 hours show in Rani seethai hall in the hot december music season. At present his guru is Mr.Mandolin Srinivas.

Next was Sibisothan. He is a genius in maths. He was able to play with numbers at a very fast pace. Any addition or subtraction, he does it with ease. Also, he was able to draw different Magic squares of different varieties. He used to observe his grandfather playing with numbers & had grasped this talent. In the TV show he was asked to add many numbers continously & he did it just by waving the hands for each number that was said. The show was too good & different from the usual cinematic programs. I was stunned by the talents of the children. Amazing stuffs.
