Arun 795 Report post Posted November 27, 2004 Channel NewsAsia - 20 November 2004 An 8-year-old boy in India has established himself as the youngest ever certified computer professional. This, despite being born with a severe physical deformity. Channel NewsAsia's Atul Jolly caught up with the amazing whiz kid. Mridul Seth is the youngest ever Microsoft-certified computer professional in the world. It's equivalent to a degree obtained after sitting for an Engineering exam. All this, at the age of 8. Mridul's abilities are also recognised by the likes of the Indian Institute of Science, Indian Institute of Information Technology and Jetking. "Any kind of problem, whether it is scientific, computerised or technical is understood by my son very quickly. Second thing is like in computer software or science whenever you tell him something he understands quickly and queries about the next step. He never forgets anything," said M K Seth, Mridul's father. Mridul was born with one ear and half his face, distorted. He cannot speak properly, but that has never stopped him from mastering computers. He became an expert in HTML, Photoshop and Windows before he was 6. He learnt and even developped software, all on his own. Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has met this whiz kid and promised that the government would help Mridul achieve even more. Mridul has certainly shown that when there's a will, there's definitely a way, despite the odds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
