DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN?

How much do you know about current events in India and the U.S.? Try this short quiz!

1. Actor Ram Kapoor lost about 65 pounds of weight through exercise and intermittent fasting.

2. Kamal Kiran Raju Yerra, a 13-year-old student from South Carolina, earned a bachelor’s degree in business from Excelsior College in New York.

3. Kamal was swamped with job offers, but is too young to work legally.

4. To celebrate her 40th birthday, actress Mindy Kaling donated $1,000 to each of 40 charities.

5. An employee at Rowan University in New Jersey faced disciplinary action for making fun of the accent of an assistant vice president of Indian origin.

 

 

(1, 2, 4, and 5 really happened.)
