Bengaluru, 19 Jan 2018: Ten-year-old Siddharth Manjunath, a Class Five student at Carmel School in Padmanabhanagar, was the youngest athlete in the nine-member Indian contingent that stood fourth in the world memory championship held at China in December. The contingent just returned after meeting Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and Union Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore. Siddharth is the son of Manjunath and Dr Nandini.

 

Siddharth can memorise and recollect a deck of cards (52 cards) in two minutes and his aim is to become a world champion as well as to enter the Guinness Book of Records. He has set a target of memorizing deck of cards in 30 seconds and is working towards it. He is coached by his father Manjunath and Dr Krishnamurthy who run the Indian Institute of Mind Dynamics in Bengaluru.

 

“Memory technique helps in many ways. It makes studying easy. My dream is to win the first prize in the next national and international championship. Memory technique brings in a balance between study and play. I practise music and cricket every day. A three-hour study time can be reduced to 30 minutes,” Siddharth told BM. His father Manjunath said Siddharth has a long way to go and is working hard towards it. “Learning memory techniques has lot of advantages and helps increase the overall performance of a student. Initially, my son had a tough time understanding subjects, but today, he is not only doing well in his studies, but also has all the time to dedicate on music and cricket. We are not pressurizing him. When he was in class one, I introduced him to the fundamentals of memory techniques only to realise that he was picking up the same quickly,” Manjunath said.

 

Others who were part of the Indian contingent include Tejashree, a class 10 student from Bengaluru, and Bharath Goud T, an engineering student from Manipal Institute of Technology.
