Success to Guinness World Record
Till now only 3 people from World have been successful in achieving this Guinness World Record on Memory. Out of which two are from India Mr. Roy and Ravishankar Godara and other is Michaela Buchvaldova also known by name Dr. Michaela Karsten (Germany). Both Mr. Roy and Dr. Michaela Karsten are in Memory field competitions since 1995 and are above age of 40 years. It took them at least ten years to make record in this category. But Ravi Shankar Godara achieved this record just in 1.5 years by mastering over Mnemonics and is the youngest in the world to do so.
After searching the database of Guinness Book of World Records it was found by his adjust that he is only Jat boy in the history of Jats who ever made Guinness World Record so far.
