**Malkangiri: ** Southern Odisha’s tribal-dominated Malkangiri district might have earned a dubious distinction for being Maoist-infested and mostly affected by the abominable reign of terror unleashed by the left wing extremists.
But, a child prodigy’s latent talent and his living encyclopaedic trait eclipses the black spot and has made this red-rebel-riddled region glitter in his precocious aura.
Meet this wonder kid Gunjan Sethi, who is yet to foot forth onto the threshold of even his initial schooling, but quizzes all with his queer brains.
Brainy Gunjan has been god-gifted with extra-ordinary intelligent quotient (IQ) and pat comes his replies to any tough question that even boggles the mind of a learned man.
Being a mere three-year-old baby boy, his super brain is a repository of names of capital cities of all the nations in the world, besides the names of the prime ministers and presidents, name of our States, other geographical, historical and scientific questions. As the prompt answers are on the tip of his tongue, denizens here have fondly conferred him the tag of being a Google boy.
While the blessed boy is the son of his proud parents Govind and Laxmi Sethi hailing from Talasahi of this headquarters town, he is being groomed up and is under the tutelage of his maternal uncles Narasingh, Madan and Ramesh Sethi.
His guardians informed that he is curious to learn from his uncles and TV.
When Gunjan’s father is a fourth grade employee, the tiny tot is a sharp-brained personality in making with a promising future.
