Dubai [UAE], December 9: Rutva Nikhil Pore, a 7-year-old proud Indian girl, blessed resident of Dubai, the United Arab Emirates for the last 5 years, has created two World Records in one attempt on 15^th November, 2021 by reciting:

• 91 facts about Solar System in English
• 91 facts about Solar System in Arabic

This record was administered through a virtual live event on 15^th November at 4:30 pm GST (6:00 pm IST) and was streamed live on Facebook & YouTube. With this record on 15^th November, Rutva recited all 91 facts in English in 2 minutes & 46 seconds and Arabic in 4 minutes & 39 seconds & became the first in the world to create “world records” in this new category.

Rutva has a great interest in space science from the age of 5 years and has been collecting information about space through various sources like the Internet, books etc. As per Rutva, this interest was created and grew by her father, and her mother inspired her to make the world record. Looking at her interest in space and knowledge, her parents contacted Mr. Sushant Mysorekar, founder of Brain Rhyme Pte Ltd, Singapore & an internationally certified Intelligence Coach during the summer vacation for her coaching and the journey of world record started.

Rutva’s world record journey started around three months back with the support of her mentor, Mr. Sushant, who has been training Rutva on memorizing the content through various memory, creative skills, tools & techniques. Initially, the plan was to recite facts in English only, but after a few sessions, seeing Rutva’s keen interest in the Arabic language with mutual understanding among all, the journey of Arabic record attempt was initiated. Finally, it was decided to translate all 91 facts of English into Arabic.

Rutva’s Arabic recitation started with support from her school – Ambassador School, Dubai and her Arabic teacher Miss Walaa Ahmed Hassan El Sheikh, who helped her in translation &pronunciation during school hours& even after school hours. Miss Walaa is an Arabic teacher with Ambassador School, Dubai. Miss Walaa’s way of teaching and her confidence in Rutva about her ability to grasp the language quickly made Rutva’s Arabic learning smoother. Rutva and her parents are very grateful to the Ambassador School and Walaa ma’am for the overwhelmed support provided by them to Rutva.

As per Rutva, her journey became easy with the help of techniques taught by her coach, support from her School and Arabic teacher. During the initial days, it took around 15 minutes to recite all 91 facts in Arabic as Rutva is a non-Arabic girl, and it involved learning of all the complex terminologies and numbers pronunciation. However, with the support, regular & consistent practice of 15 days, Rutva was able to recite the same in less than 5 minutes. Rutva gives this credit to her School, Arabic teacher, mentor &parents who have encouraged & collaborated to define her schedule, ongoing schooling & supported in associated aspects of practice.

Rutva’s message to her friends, – “You need to persevere, be curious and should have the spirit to learn new things. Once you get an opportunity, you can create a World Record with learned and practiced ability.” She further mentioned, “I am a non-Arabic girl, but I love the Arabic language and find it very interesting because of my teacher Walaa ma’am who made it more interesting by her teaching approach.”

Rutva was born in Pune, Maharashtra and shifted to Dubai along with her parents when she was only 2.5 years old. Currently, she resides in Business Bay, Dubai. Rutva did her pre-schooling with Chubby Cheeks Nursery, Karama, Dubai and currently is a grade 2 student of Ambassador School, Dubai. Rutva’s father, Nikhill Pore and mother, Minal Deshpande – Pore, both are Chartered Accountant and a Company Secretary.

Rutva is learning karate with GFX, Business Bay, Dubai and currently holds Green belt. She is also learning gymnastics with Fly High Fitness, Dubai.

Rutva has a great interest in art & craft & she keeps herself engaged in making beautiful art pieces.  She has started her own YouTube channel – Rutva’s World. She loves reading books, dancing, helping others, playing and spending time with her friends.

Rutva’s aspirations:

1. To be a space scientist in NASA and explore lots of unexplored things in the space
2. To be a black belt karate champion for self-defense and also to help others in need
3. To meet the Ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to thank him for making Dubai the best place to live in the world and giving a homely feel to all its residents
4. To meet PM Narendra Modi ji during his next visit to UAE and share her proud moments with him in person. She further wants to thank him for making India such a proud country with his commendable leadership.

Rutva’s entire family is proud of their home country, India. They are equally proud of their country of residence, UAE and are truly blessed to stay in the UAE. They are grateful to His Highness for providing an opportunity to achieve their dreams in the foreign land. Rutva is inspired by the vision of UAE’s leadership.

Bharat Mehra has been into philanthropic activities and supporting the destitute for almost three decades

Dubai (UAE), October 08: After Indian actors like Sanjay Dutt, Shah Rukh Khan, Mohanlal and Mammootty, a Dubai-based renowned businessman and philanthropist, Bharat J Mehra has been awarded the UAE’s coveted 10-year Golden Visa for his humanitarian activities along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Novak Djokovic.

Mehra has founded the Bharat Mehra Strategies DMCC to provide strategic and business development consultancy to corporates in India and the Middle East region. He is the chairman of Radha Meera Trust, supported by the Ajay Piramal Group. Also the chairman of Mashobra Pvt Ltd, Bharat, has been into philanthropic services and supporting the destitute for over 25 years. His trust in India provides free food, medicines, ambulances, eye operations, and education to over 1,500 people daily.

“I consider Dubai to be my home, and I am fortunate to have been granted the Golden Visa. I am thankful to the UAE government and the immigration authorities for this enormous gesture of gratitude,” said Mehra.

“UAE is a beautiful country, and under the forward-looking vision of our leadership, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, I am sure we will see many more achievements in the country,” he added.

Mehra has never refrained from helping people. It can still be recalled how a woman in an abaya at a restaurant solicited financial help for her son’s enrolment to an engineering college. Despite his qualifications, he was unable to gain admission owing to a lack of funds. Without a second thought, Bharat transferred a significant amount to her account. It is one of many such instances.

“Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day. So, keep an eye out and grab them.  Reach out to them, but do it in a respectful manner that preserves their dignity and self-respect. Help others to win, and in turn, you will win. Remember, we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give,” said Mehra.

Mehra always maintains a positive attitude. “We must be grateful for all that we have, to give lovingly in charity to those less fortunate, to help whoever we can, whenever we can, to lend a smile to everyone, to be in bliss and peace and spread joy and happiness wherever we go,” he remarked.

Mehra is obliged for everything the UAE has provided him and intends to continue serving the country.
