He also publishes videos based on the demands of users but sometimes, he receives negative comments too. “Most the viewers are preparing for competitive exams, they posts requests based on which, I learn subjects and create videos. It takes me about two weeks to research about a topic then I learn it, practice it a couple of times and shoot it,” told Amar.

“We also receive negative comments sometimes, especially when there are disputed territories involved. Since I only work on the videos in weekends and on weekdays I focus on my school curriculum, it does not bother me much,” he adds.

His younger brother Anagh Vignesh, all of 10, has also joined his brother and has produced around 10-13 videos so far on the same channel.

Father of the two, Goverdhan Achary Thogiti, believes his children are gifted. “My sons are talented. I teach them same tricks I teach other teachers. Both grasp things quickly. I will send my child to study in the city after class 10 but till that time they are here, I wish to teach them to pursue knowledge and the best of themselves,” he said.

Amar also has a fascination for cosmology and watches videos on the same in his free time. His favourite subjects are mathematics and physics. This young teacher likes to read books; among his top-picks are ‘The brief history of time’ and ‘The Alchemist’.
