There is an abundance of talent within the country, and we have seen proof of this numerous times. Recently, we saw a young girl from Tamil Nadu whipping up as many as 46 dishes in less than an hour - thus making it to the UNICO Book of Records. Another young student, Neha Singh, from Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has now created a world record for the largest painting made with spices and natural colours, thus finding a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records.
