Gulshan Kumar has broken the world record for spinning his wheelchair the most times in a minute.
The 18-year-old from the suburbs of Delhi made 63 spins in a minute, breaking the existing world record of 32 spins previously held by Jeffrey of France in the Guinness Book of World Records.

"I am really feeling on top of the world after breaking this record. I want to say that people like us need encouragement and opportunity rather than sympathy," says Gulshan who was crippled after a dose of a wrong medicine in 1992.
He is a disciple of renowned disabled dance theatre director and founder of 'Ability Unlimited Foundation', Guru Syed Salaudin Pasha. "Gulshan has been training under me since the past ten years now. He has overcome his disability and poor background to break this record. It shows that given an opportunity, the differently-abled people can do wonders," says Pasha."

Wait a minute... he's 18 but was crippled by a dose of the wrong medicine in 1992?
Heh, well spotted!
I imagine the date is wrong.
