A 10-year- old boy from Srinagar has brought laurels to the whole J&K as he has created a world record by reciting and identifying names, capitals, currencies and continents of all 195 countries after flags were shown to him.

Aleem is fond of visiting countries besides that since his childhood, he is inclined towards collection of currencies.
Aleem while talking to news agency said that it was his maternal uncle Hilal Shora, settled in America—the man, who inclined him towards the maps, currencies and world geography as he was the first person who provided him first currencies of different countries.
