Heaviest slime made by siblings
Pune-based siblings, 14-years-old Adya Anand Chordia, and 16-years-old Adi Anand Chordia received recognition in the Asia Book of Records (ABR) and India Book of Records (IBR), in their attempt for preparing and displaying the largest Slime, a kind of flexible toy. They set both the records at their home in Pune, Maharashtra, where they made and showcased a total of 23.4 kg slime in 11.30 seconds.
Mr Anand Chordia, kids’ father, said, “Adi and Adya are very sincere, fun-loving, and creative children. They worked really hard for this record-breaking activity. The best part of this joint project is spending such time together and developing a strong bonding between siblings. Both the kids always make us feel proud.”
At a very young age, Adya and Adi have understood that mental health is crucial to our well-being. Recognizing that people have been more stressed than ever in today’s world, the Chordia siblings have also started Slime Therapy at their home. To overcome this global health crisis, they conduct free workshops with people of any age and teach them how to make slimes.
Slime has the potential to help people who suffer from anxiety, depression, and other disorders. It serves as a temporary distraction from a person’s emotions and stress, which helps to be better equipped to manage their stress. While slime is known for being a children’s toy, Adya and Adi also educate about the advantages of slime and how it helps soothe any anxious or stressful thoughts.
Not only this but, the siblings have also distributed the slime that they prepared for the Asia and India Book of Records to the underprivileged kids’ schools as their small contribution in fighting mental illness caused by stress and anxiety. Slime is a toy product, sold in a plastic trash can and it was first introduced in February 1976 by Mattel. It consists of a non-toxic viscous, squishy and oozy green or other color material made primarily from guar gum. Children can make different shapes with the slime expressing their creative side. It gives a lot of freedom to create whatever you can think in your mind.
Adya and Adi became eligible to enter in Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records 2023 edition after a successful attempt as per guidelines and criteria given by the IBR team.
Adi Anand Chordia said, “This record became possible only because my father and mother have been very supportive to us in all that we do. We look forward to doing many more things together. We feel spending a lot of time on digital gadgets builds a lot of mental stress and it’s not healthy for the body also. These small little objects like Slime, help a lot in de-stressing and bringing the mind to balance.”
