New Text speed record broken in India

Karan Sachdev, a second year B Com student of Delhi University, became the Indian SMS king, by punching a confusing message of 160 characters in 66 seconds - beating the previous record by one second - in a tense competition in the Capital on Saturday, reports the Times of India.

Karan claimes he sends 200-300 messages everyday.

The previous Guinness record was held by Britain's James Trusler who typed the same message in 67 seconds.

“The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human.”
