Mumbai, Jan 20: An English teacher here has been
awarded a guiness book of world records` certificate for the
longest grammar teaching in the world, after he taught grammar
to the students continuously for 73 hours and 37 minutes.
Sanjay Kumar Sinha, known as `Gramathon man`, received
the certificate last week for this feat, which he performed on
October 20, 2005. A total of 59 students participated at the
Bay City Club, Bandra.
Along with him, the students, who participated in the
venture, also got the certificates for learning the subject
for the longest lesson learnt. "I got the certificate last week. Because
there were 65,000 claims to be assessed by the Guiness, it
took a long time to get the final inclusion and a place into
the Guiness", said Sinha.
When he conducted the Gramathon, a total of 72 students
participated. However, out of them, 13 students were
disqualified on the grounds of health, as keeping awake for 73
hours was not easy. Their blood pressure and other health parameters were
not satisfactory during the event. There was only 10 minutes
break after eight hours of gruelling session. There was also no
break for lunch or dinner, all the participants had to consume light food while they were learning.
