JNU computer operator holds nine Guinness records

NEW DELHI, June 20:
Vinod Kumar Chaudhary spends his days punching numbers at Jawaharlal Nehru University but not many know that this unassuming, albeit talented, man has nine Guinness World Records to his credit.
Punching numbers or data at Jawaharlal Nehru University is not what defines the talent of computer operator Vinod Kumar Chaudhary, but the nine Guinness World Records to his credit.
Chaudhary, 41, who works as a computer operator at JNU’s School of Environmental Sciences (SES), set his latest record during the lockdown last year that was imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
From a record for fastest typing with his nose in 2014 to fastest typing blindfolded and fastest typing with a mouth stick, the records made by Chaudhary adore the walls of a computer centre which he runs at home for poor and disabled children.
“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. I made my first record in 2014 when I typed 103 characters in 46.30 seconds with my nose. (PTI)
