If a Kid Can Do it...

Kind of a cool story about the "Indian Bill Gates."

Ajay was first exposed to computers as a baby, sitting on his grandfather's lap while he worked. At nine-months of age he could type A B C on the computer, and when he was just two-years-old he managed to surprise his parents by working out how to send email to his grandparents.

When he was just five-years-old, Ajay passed the Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS) core level examination, scoring 98 percent and becoming the youngest person to pass the examination. He went on to achieve the Expert Level, scoring 93 percent.

Enrolled in the third grade at Harrow International School, Ajay's life is not that different from that of other students. He has to take time to do homework, play football, cricket, and hockey.
