Aryan Parab-8 from Mumbai India has been dubbed the "Human Calendar." Looking just like a regular eight-year-old kid at first glance; Aryan can rattle off dates from now till 2068. Odd! but Amazing!
He’s a mathematical genius with superhuman computational skills. It isn't surprising where and how Aryan picked up such brain and developed it. Little Mr. Parab's parents work as software engineers. They discovered his unique skill earlier this year when he was talking about birthdays and found that he could accurately predict the days of his friends’ birthdays several years into the future.
Every thing comes with a cost and Aryan's is not an exception. Aryan’s Mother-Rupali Parab said: “My telephone bill is going through the roof because he keeps reminding me every day when somebody has a birthday and gets me to call them. He is a ready reckoner of dates, particularly those related to national leaders and national events. He remembers the birthdays of every single classmate, relative, friend and neighbour. The other day he pestered me to greet a casual acquaintance over the phone, and I yielded. She was so happy I remembered her birthday that we struck a bond over that conversation.”
No doubt, Aryan loves playing with numbers in his head. Suryakant Bhosle-his grandfather said: “He loves numbers, and is constantly playing around with dates in his head and coming up with statistics. He is gaining more insight over time, and locks himself up in his room during summer vacation to draw calendars. Aryan prepares an entire years’ calendar within 20-25 minutes without using any reference material or glancing at the internet.” While his third-grade teachers added that Aryan is brilliant with numbers.
So, whatever question you have about dates, ask Aryan, you would get your answers straight.
His unique talent has now made him popular and he regularly entertains audiences with his precise predictions. He has also figured out the fact that calendars tend to repeat every 11 years; so he says that a birthday (or any day) will fall on the same day as it did 11 years before. So he probably has 11 years’ worth of calendars memorized, and he’s able to compute dates at lighting speed, instantly providing answers to calendar-related questions.
If you don't want to miss of forget any birthday or even your own birthday probably when you get old, meet Aryan, he would store it in his super calendar head. Lol...
