When we think of a computer operator, the image of an unassuming man crunching numbers on the keyboard with large glasses on takes over our brain. But away beyond the generalizations and stereotypes, people like Vinod Kumar Chaudhary live. These people go on to make their professions their superpowers, and register records one after the other.

Jawaharlal Nehru University’s Vinod Kumar Chaudhary too is a computer operator who has not one, not three, not five or six records on his name – but seven Guinness World Records on his name. The 41-year-old man works in JNU’s SES Department (School of Environmental Sciences).

Speaking to PTI, Vinod said-

“I was always fascinated by speed. As a child I was very enthusiastic about sports but as I grew up I could not pursue sports due to some health issues. I, then, developed a similar passion for speed on computer.”

He further added that after receiving the certificate of setting the record, he got the motivation to continue on the path and hone his talent,

“Once, I got my certificate for the record, it gave me a different kind of motivation and I started practicing for more such records. I spent next one year practicing and in 2016 I made two records,”
