A 10-YEAR-OLD boy from Hounslow, West London, has been recognised as a child genius with an IQ higher than Albert Einstein's.

Krish Arora recently scored 162 on an IQ test, surpassing Einstein's estimated score, and has been accepted into Mensa, the high-IQ society, according to Metro.


Krish, who will begin studying at Queen Elizabeth’s School, a top grammar school, this September, described his 11-plus exams as "too easy," achieving 100 per cent in maths.

He has also become a mentor to his classmates in primary school, assisting with maths and piano lessons.

His mother, Mauli Arora, said the family noticed his extraordinary abilities when he was four, recalling how he completed a maths book involving decimal divisions before his fourth birthday. "He excels at everything he does," she told Metro.

An accomplished pianist, Krish has reached grade 7 after mastering four grades in six months and has competed against older students, winning several musical contests. He is also listed on the Trinity College of Music’s “hall of fame” for his achievements.

Chess is another of his passions. His parents hired a chess coach, whom he now frequently defeats. His father, Nischal Arora, said Krish will soon begin competing in tournaments.

Krish spends his free time solving puzzles and crosswords, watching the show Young Sheldon, and honing his skills in various fields. His ultimate ambition is to become a mathematician.

Rooh: Within Her – A Dance Tribute Honouring the Soul of Womanhood

Rooh: Silent Strength in Dance

In a world that often measures heroism through dramatic acts and monumental moments, Rooh: Within Her presents a strikingly different narrative — one that celebrates quiet resilience, enduring strength, and the understated courage found in the everyday lives of women. Set to take place on Friday, 20 June at the Midlands Arts Centre in Birmingham, this solo dance performance by acclaimed Kathak artist and choreographer Urja Desai Thakore promises an evocative and thought-provoking exploration of womanhood across time. Rooted in the classical Indian dance tradition yet deeply contemporary in its vision, the show captures the spirit of women who have shaped history in ways both visible and invisible.

The performance is an immersive journey through stories that span over two millennia, drawing inspiration from mythology, oral traditions, personal histories, and lived experiences. Rather than focusing on famous names or well-known figures, Thakore deliberately turns her attention to unsung heroines — women whose courage lies in persistence, nurturing, survival, and the ability to carry on in the face of adversity. From ancient civilisations to modern-day realities, Rooh: Within Her presents a dance tapestry woven with emotion, grace, and narrative depth.
