7-yr-old girl clears Std X exam

Seven-year-old Sushma makes the long periodic table of elements sound like a nursery rhyme.

Little wonder that she has created a record by clearing the class X UP Board exam, and it wouldn't be a surprise if she makes her dream of being a doctor come true soon. In a family of high achievers, Sushma is not the only child prodigy. Her brother Shailendra cleared class XII Board examination when he was just 11 years old. [..] Their father Tej Bahadur Verma is a peon at the local school and obviously there are financial constraints.
