Wordsmith! Rukmini Kalamangalam, poetess

Just 13, and already a record holder. Bengaluru-based Yathaarth Murthy's passion for singing knows no geographic barriers. The teenager not only memorised the national anthems of 215 countries in those countries’ respective languages but also recited English translations of the national anthems out of his impeccable memory. This aspiring anthemologist aims to bring to the mass the cultural richness of the lesser-known countries.
