Bihar's Born-Seven-year-old Pratyush Kumar replies in a split second that the dates fall on a Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

Republic Day in 2050 or Independence Day of 2075 will be on which day? While most of us would be scratching our heads to take to Google 'baba' to find out the answer,
And, July 21, 2021? You ask further and pat come the reply, Wednesday; December 12, 2064? On Friday; March 24, 2050? On Thursday. That convinces one that the young boy has been specially blessed and can tell which day of the week would any date in near or distant future be.

In fact, it is rightly said that God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something else. A native of Jehanabad, Pratyush lost his vision due to retinal detachment at the age of three. Multiple surgeries at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, did not yield any result. However, his treatment at Shankar Netralaya, Chennai, in 2011, yielded better results and Pratyush can now distinguish light and dark, see colours, big objects and contours.

The genius of sorts is a student of class II at J P M Senior Secondary School for the Blind, New Delhi, and that is where his extraordinary story started taking roots. In his father Nand Kishore Giri's words, "When I used to drop him at school, he would ask me when would I come back to take him home. I would say a certain date and he kept thinking about it. After a few times, he started telling me the day when I told him the date and I realized that he could calculate it to precision." He was admitted to the school in 2011.

Giri is a cosmetics hawker at village Tehta Matha in Jehanabad district. He is separated from his wife who, he alleges, stopped taking care of Pratyush after his vision was impaired.

Apart from his special gift, Pratyush is a meritorious student who stood third in class I. He likes to play cricket or ride cycle in spare time and one of his dreams is to travel on an airplane. "His education is covered by scholarship from the government and NGOs till class XII. But, I hope help would come forward for his higher education as he is a bright kid," Giri said.
