Inspired by his artist father and elder sisters, Shorya took to colours and wielded his first brush when he was just three-year-old. "One day my wife posted a painting on Facebook saying Shorya has made a good, abstract painting. I was in Mumbai at that time. I asked her if it was really made by Shorya and she said yes, of course. We then thought we should give Shorya more canvasses to paint," said Shorya's father, Aditya Singh Mahanot

Anand Bharadwaj is world youth scrabble champion

The newly crowned World Youth Scrabble Champion, Anand Bharadwaj, explains that if an opponent covers two triple word squares their score multiplies by nine and adds 50 points. Such was Anand's predicament earlier this month at the finals in Malaysia when his opponent played ''waysides'' for a tournament-high 176 points.

His father, Melbourne Business School associate professor Kannan Sethuraman, was sitting outside.

''It was a crucial game, and everybody wrote him off. The ushers came and told me, 'He's trailing by 160 points, I think it's gone.' I didn't know what to expect, but he came back and said, 'I won it.' ''
