London An eight-year-old Indian boy, who teaches adult students computer-generated animated film at Dehradun's College of Interactive arts, has applied to Guinness World Records to recognise his achievement.

Aman Rehman’s family believes that he may be the world's youngest college lecturer. It was at the age of three, when Aman’s parents became aware of his talent.

His father, an illiterate scooter-mechanic who supports his wife and three children on 60 pounds a month, had struggled to buy a second-hand computer for their older son, and Aman was fascinated by it, watching his brother's every move on the cursor.

By the time he was three-and-a-half, he had mastered his first animation programme and made a film with dancing alphabet letters.

Following friends’ advice, his father took Aman to Dehra Dun's College of Interactive Arts. Officials thought they were meeting older child and laughed when Aman's father told them the candidate was sitting in his lap, reports ‘the Telegraph’.

However, after a week of intense lobbying Rehman persuaded the college to watch his child on a computer which convinced them to offer him a place. Within five months he had written his own software programme.

Aman knows how to operate 18 softwares. He has also completed his animation course in span of three months, which is usually completed by others in 15 months.

Aman said: "Whenever I am having holidays, I make it a point that I should work on computer for at least eight hours. And usually I work on computer for four hours because I have to complete my schoolwork also. Presently I am making projects on black hole, aliens and water conservation."

Genius by Skeptic on 08 Jan 2009

May be I am wrong, just little bit skeptical. Sounds like another scam like Genius from Bihar got scholarship from NASA (NASA never conduct those kind of tests) Petroleum from plant leaves, Tamil Nadu boy broke IQ meter (I have never heard of IQ meter device). And all the hyped genus people brainwashed to speak about Astro physics...black holes, Quasars, Pulsars, Warm holes, Inter galactic gases, alien lives etc.

Ad nuisance by Rupali Rotti on 08 Jan 2009

Jumeirah Ad is all over the print. I cannot even read what news is printed. You want the ad to be viewed or the news?

AD support by Logical mind on 08 Jan 2009

There is no "Free lunch". Why should the company provide free news to all. Its not charity organization for sure.

Ads by KP on 08 Jan 2009

Hello Logical Mind, You are right - there's no Free Lunch. However, these companies get their ad revenues because of the traffic that's generated to the site - people like you and me who browse to the articles. If people are not able to read their articles, people would stop reading the newspaper and why would any company advertise on a site that doesnt generate enough traffic. So, even though we get Free News, we are an indirect source of revenue for themThanks
