  • The greatest travesty is that such a young mind wasn't given an opportunity to succeed. God willing you will RAVI!

  • Bet he's got lots of girls going crazy from all over the world now.

  • no racism plz be proud peace 

  • i wanna be meet him. he is really star

  • brilliant charismatic young man !

    he has lot of potential to do whatever he wants in his life.

  • wow!!!!!!

  • You need to go back and give us an update!

  • i want to meet him so bad!!!!!!!

  • Thats awesome

  • What a resourceful kid! Very smart!

  • He's such a great kid.

  • Amazing and I admire

  • @chariya7 don't talk about grammar, you yourself don't write immaculate English, doesn't seems o be he even know the meanings???????? Absurd when people like you start blasting a street kid who knows all this just by meeting tourists, will you be able to learn that? Cramming or whatever he is learning to communicate with the tourists. The point is the opposite person should understand what the person is saying.

  • this guy can sell anything !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this kid is awesome!!!

  • its a shame I never stopped by at just another street side seller in my own city....

  • DUDE RAVI NICE WORK LOVE U

  • Hi sufiwindsurfing ... Great job ...for seeing him, capturing conversations with him and taking initiative to let the world know about him, I am really touched. May God bless you and Ravi as well.

  • I don't know why..but I had a drop of tears coming from my eyes when I saw this. Really touched my heart. Just an amazing kid.

  • which part of India is this?

  • What part of India is he in?

  • @CharlieColt45 , Its Mumbai

  • Gr8 job man..I wanna meet you ..

  • one day this kid will be very rich.

  • his iq is rly fking high

  • Wow!!! Me quede anonadada, que brillante es Ravi. Tan lindo, le deseo lo mejor del mundo, muchos exitos y bendiciones para el.

  • He's learned a lot of English just from gathering it from tourists! Imagine how much he would know when he's an Adult!

  • Cool Kid

  • props to the indian people who thrive and lead exemplary hard working lives even against all odds! cheers to Ravi and the guy who shot this video! cheers!

  • brillaint absolutely brilliant

  • god bless ya Ravi...

  • most of dont even know what he is saying coz we dont know those languages. these are just particular sentences he memorized and people call this tallent we call this cramming. everyone can do that. although he has so many grammatical mistakes and sentences dont even make sense.

  • @chariya7 he never went to school at least he is selling fans and doing a great job and not like u people terrorizing the whole world , you paki...get lost..

  • @ThePrency haha true! It's funny (and sad) to see how people don't even spare a street kid who's so smart and working to make his living...

  • @rohitabhatia Whoever the fuck removed my comment must be a Fucken Brit or a Fucken Muslim...Cunt!!

  • @chariya7 porkistani terrorist cunt....

  • @chariya7 Yes, this kid probably lives in slum or slum like condition, he has no formal education, he's just trying so hard to make ends meet, against all odds he still goes on with his life selling some crappy stuff 'cause he know that if he doesn't then he and his family will have to go hungry for the night. I find your criticism absolutely disgraceful and quite ironic. You must be really big criticizing a 15 year old kid over his grasp on English when your English is this poor.

  • well i dont know about other language, my cousin lives in germany and he watched this video and told me that there are number of mistakes and even most of the word doesnt even make sense. dankushun means thank you and the second word after that means no worries. the way he spoke doesnt seems to be he even know the meanings. just watch his expressions its just cramming

  • Good example of how efficient learning on the job is.

  • Great kid, I wish him all the best. May God give him health and wealth

  • God he's amazing very smart god bless u ravi

  • This is really cool, if you ever go back, you should do a documentary about this boy

  • This kid is awesome! I wish we could get another update from him. =]

  • How possible is it?? Without going school.. That means..hes has god gifted talent..??please tell someone me..

  • Impressed. I found, he is kind and loyal. Hard work never be in vain. It is good to see such videos and be proud, that this kid lives by selling not stealing. God bless you dear Ravi. by the way, thanks and God bless you, kind hearted video taker and posting to YouTube.

  • Comment removed

  • wow!!! this kid is really good.. keep it up and god bless you...

  • thank you sufi !

    

  • God bless u

  • I love this kid . His manners are good, hes modest and he appreciates what hes got. Such a good kid.

  • he might be talented, but if i would sell those things for many hours per day 365 days per year for many years to an international audience i would also be able to small talk in 5 different languages. I absolutely would never trade my education for a couple years of expierience i get while selling stuff on the street. he might be overrated

  • @Henryfabulous: Did you watch the entire video? His income helps support his family of 12 individuals, of which 7 are under the age of 18. I hardly think this young man has "traded" his education to support his family because he is older than his siblings. I barely think that this lifestyle is a personal choice. Ravi is trying to accept his circumstances so he says that he's learning more on the streets. Please visit India, otherwise you won't understand the audaciousness of such people.

  • @Henryfabulous: Secondly, you also can't sit in whichever country you're in with access to the internet and leisure time to even be surfing Youtube videos to compare the trade-off you "would" make versus the trade-off Ravi has had to make. Please have some perspective on matters like these. Your ignorance doesn't serve anyone; neither to you, nor me, and certainly not to children who spend 15 hour shifts selling hand fans on the street so their siblings can eat.

  • @globaldiscordia thx, you are a very nice guy

  • This small boy is so excited to know that he is on Internet.

    God Bless him.

    Thanx Youtube!!

  • What makes me so fuming angry is people in America are famous for nothing if there is a random video on youtube about them,then they are famous overnight!! The people i speak of are trash people with garbage nothing morals and lives who get famous for NOTHING!!! Case in point "The man with the golden voice".Nadia Suleman the list goes on and on.Someone should start a fund to send him to school,and have him do this as a hobby,cz it's obvious h enjoys doing this i mean it's all he knows.BLESS HIM

  • he is standing by a sandalwood tree so he must be in south india.I'm thinking he is Hyderabi.He is so sweet.I want to see the hanging garden.It looks like the coolest place where everyone walks and hands out.

  • This kid is brilliant, he should be in school so he can apply himself. what a shame.

  • i think thte dog at the back is a stray

  • Ravi for king!

  • I would hate to have him as a telemarketer.

  • @Zaven995 RACIST!!!!!!!

  • @Zaven995 Why?

  • School i learn only english.here i learn 10 languages:)

  • It is really inspiring to listen him since he is the model for English learners. We can learn the confidence that he has.

  • ravi you are great.do great business .

  • i whuld love to help him and when eva i go i will try to find him in hanging garden i think evrybody shuld try to help him

  • incredible india

  • Great!

  • hes the one should act in the slumdog millionaire <3

  • @hijrah the actors in slumdog millionaire were used by hollywood, they got nothing, the only got to walk on the red carpet, the one that acted as the yung actor in slumdog millionarie, is a real life slum, the goverment destroyed his house, he has a house made of tiki plants and huge poor villge

  • Only if this could be sent to real school... He'd be a force to be reckoned w/...

  • stupid dumfcuk indian govt and dumass ppl invest sh1t loads of money in talentless bollywood crap and cricket so much, why isn't this guy being helped yet? oh thats right only the rich can prosper i forgot poor ppl's lives dont really matter

  • Comment removed

  • that dam man is interogating the child so much ...y u need to know so much detail abt the child especially how much he earns??? for GOD same he is on the net do u want him to be targeted by thieves?

  • @renumaraj Dnt worry bout him.. he is smart. he will take care of himself. you should try to appreciate people who does good for others.

  • this kid is awesome

  • very nice

  • future linguist some day

  • I want him as my brother

  • Someone should sponsor him to study languages and do research how many languages a human being can learn.

  • whether somebody thought him to speak different languages or on his own , how I wish he would have a formal education there cause he got skills. and it would only be wasted if he didn't had any degree

  • Really Nice

  • santoshi nar sada sukhi... means "the satisfied human is always happy.." thats what we want to learn, always be satisfied from anything and you'll be happy...

  • great this is incredible india . . . . . U can find talent anywere . . . . .

  • @mannu23punk talent unrecognised by INDIANs

  • what an inspiration.

    he has no opportunities yet makes the most of what he has.

    surely he deserves better.

  • He is the real Dev patel ( hero of slum dog millionaire )

  • OMG, He is Gujarati...He makes me cry , this is call true entrepreneurship( gujarati spirit ) and true indian culture reflect from him, his income is so much limited even he is helping their bro / sis and family.....God bless you Ravi...aek divas tu jarur agad hoish...

  • OOOH SO IMPRESSIVE!!!.. he's like any other kid. i also speak french :) i also speak english. i also speak danish, i also speak chinese, i also speak japanese, i also speak german. i also speak russian. i also speak spanish.. And not really? just like this kid. everyone knows how to say hello in at least 3-6 languages. same principle goes for this kid.

  • @KonnichiwaX Did you learn it by your self with out much or any support of your parents ? I guess not.

  • @Sonics777 So you just think this kid learned a few phrases by himself? don't be naive, He learned them the same way as anyone else would. By asking "Excuse me good sir, how do you say "that" in "that language"?"

  • @KonnichiwaX gotta give credit for the kids talent....

  • man this boys inspiring... next time i go to india , ima hit hangin garden and meet this kid ! kids got talent !

  • Hi Ravi, im so proud and inspired upon knowing about how talented and smart you are. I wish you all the bests.

  • Too bad the indian government not doing anything to help this kid to pursue his studies.. I bet he can be a good asset for the country if government could help him...

  • @abduloffar that is why givt is not bothered......

  • sUPER!!!

  • thanks to sufiwind

  • Imagine... instead of selling those fans, he goes to schools with books, a teacher then he will do better than that. It's amazing to see, and a shame to me, because i only speak 5 languages, but i'm so lazy to learn the writing and reading, he talks with confidence he enjoys life, and he loves his family.... he should be an advertiser on tv

  • wow, there's a big business man's childhood. he's got talent and knows how to sell it. impressive!

  • his 1 dollar is kinda american

  • next dhirubhaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii saalaam

  • does he make the fans himself? or his family make them?? he seems so sweet and polite!

  • @zakzues his grandma makes it perhaps

  • great talent........

    Boy is so intelligent .....

  • Bueno, si, ya me doy por vencido, jejeje, si es un buen muchacho, buen vendedor y conversador, cada uno que llega a entrevistarle, debe llevarse uno de sus abanicos, ya sea por la experiencia de haber charlado con él, o por el calor. Ak en Puerto Vallarta, sí que necesito uno de esos (abanico), ya comienza a subir la temperatura, jejeje! Bueno chico!

  • Smart Kid!!!!!!!

    Great job.

  • Danny Boyle is such a B****** !!

    He called Indian talent as some SLUM-DOG ?? Then they humiliate Indians even more by making it as some 1 millionth English word !!

    Ws Jai Ho AR Rehman's best music creation ?? We ol know that !!

  • great inspiration - all izz well

  • This kid is a straight hustler! Very bright and intelligent with excellent people skills. Kudos to you Ravi.

  • This kid is a miracle of our society :D

  • The camera guy is taking up his time in selling those fans.

    The kid needs money now LEAVE HIM ALONE! :D lol

  • You trully r a super star!!!!!!!!!

    You seem to be a very nice person and my best wishes to you..

    Thanks for the person who posted this video...

    In which part of India does Ravi live?

  • Soooo jealous. I wish the schools taught languages like he learns them. He learned how to communicate with people, not recite vocabulary in a bad accent.

  • @PokemonSpriteService

    there're not such thing as "bad accent".

  • y r we waste money on our children for there schooling they learn more on road than in fucking schools

  • @bhimkallu Maybe if you lived on the road you would learn proper English grammar.

  • wow!!!!! are you serious your an idiot....The school system should of scrapped you and everyone who gave you a thumbs up.

  • @bhimkallu school like work,is made to distract society from prominent issues which we then let our politicians take care of thats why western society fails

  • @bhimkallu Yeah but they don't learn to spell and to use proper grammar when their out on the streets Kind of like you.

  • God bless you Sammy and the genius kid.. He is an genius, he doesn't want to go to school for a reason, .. wish he could come online or get help from some 'genuine' news agency coz he is talented and a kind person.

    He is rich from his heart and definitely my wishes are with you Ravi... truly inspirational video and I wish you all the very very best in life :)

    Mast hain!

  • You are Really a Star !!!! God Bless you

  • keep it up ... big boy ..

  • cool kid...

  • If talent is wasting like that den its against humanity, bcoz he can able 2 do sumtin better 4 all. but money wch shd go for him, is wasted by corrupted peoples only 4 comfort.

    shhhhhhhhheh!!!!!!!! i wish all those will go to hell

  • He is obviously a very smart kid. It would be great to see him in university. He has a talent for languages. Some people have it, others don't. Great video.

  • @granolagirl8819 

    absoutely, amazing child........

  • @granolagirl8819 In university? That would kill him. Why are we so insistent in the western world to get into University? It's a degree-pumping system of indoctrination. Waste of time.

  • @trumpet90909 It's not a waste of time if it gets him off the streets and improves his quality of life, homeboy. You may not like it, but an education can open many doors. And *languages* can open more.

  • this is actual Indian truth India has its talent but they donot get chance to brushup their talent in school so please help people like this as India growth doesnot lie in big buildings or fly overs, so please help as many ravi in India please help them......

  • He is nothing less than a star. I am inspired, for real.

  • Damn. I would gladly give this guy 20-30$ for one fan just to make sure his family was making enough for the basics :)

  • @elitexero wat the fuck u think he could do with that 20 - 30 dollars... fuck ur american money... world is going to spin the other way around !!!!

  • @barebalaji

    What the hell are you talking about. First of all, I'm not American but fuck you anyway.  Second of all, if you watched the video instead of just bitching at everyone, he said he makes about 20$ US every day and it goes to feeding his family.

  • you wudnt even buy anything from this guy for 5 bucks so shut up

  • hes being nice you fucking queer

  • Amazing. Keep up the good work! I wish you all the success you deserve!

  • @xbiosparkx You know he wont watch this.

  • You don't know he won't watch this. Food for thought huh?

  • @xbiosparkx You don't know he will.

  • You don't know he won't.

  • Good luck for ur future ravi... :-)

  • simply superb.... a very motivational video..

    i just wanna give my grand salute to both of u the kid and the man who posted this video......

    u inspired me kid....

  • That's brilliant, he's a great salesman. He knows it's not so much about the product but HOW you sell it. Because if I was Spanish and saw some Indian kid speaking spanish I would want to help him out!

  • Hardwork Always pays.

    Where there's a will there's a way...........

  • wow amazing (anybody know the address 

    please please contact me (reply me please

  • @inderbajwa1- It is the garden park in bombay where they have this famous indian shoe with plant sculpture, I recently saw him in that area in March when I was on my trip to India.

  • i just wonder what he would have been if he was able to get education. I just feel that this guy would have made wonders, the countyr has to wake up and make education available for every child. Now i believe a major chunk of talents are left in the streets unattended.

  • I first appreciate d man who videographed it.. this boy will surely become a successful businessman.. he must keep himself going.. He said "I'm not so big to be on newspapers".. as far as he says that he grows and grows to heights.. god bless the kid and the man..

  • Awesome Stuff !!! He has a Strong endurance & Determination.....!!! Ravi ur the man.....Hats Off 2 u....And to Samir..the guy who took lotta courage to show the world wht tht young lad has got....Hats of to u too man !!! Appreciated

  • Amazing Kid........For all the tourists who go to Mumbai - Kindly help this Boy.

  • 'God bless you Sir'

    I can feel that it came out of his heart.. thanks for posting this Beautiful video!

  • Awesome man!!

  • god he is truly a legend he speaks all languages god peace be upon him u rock ravi jus keep it hot

  • This Is whats U Call Pure Talent And Determination.....

  • What a smart kid!

  • keep it going Ravi...God bless you son...

  • This guy deserves a lot, and certainly this guy is going to reach heights. More than his multi-lingual skill, that inborn business acumen is seen in this video. RAVI HAS THAT SPARK TO IGNITE OUR MINDS. I am one among such minds.

  • "experience is the best teacher"... a great inspiration for me..may god bless tis kid ...

  • Firstly hats off to the person who posted this video and went back and interviewed him again after 2 years.God bless the interviewer and Ravi

  • Marvelous RAVI,ya this video is really motivating for people who seem to feel learning language is a difficult task.see this guy he makes it so easy.go

  • Hats off to Ravi and more so to the person who created and posted this video. At least you chose to make a difference to the life of a common person. God bless!

  • We shall put him on blogs,create communities,and even newspapers,this guy deserves to be given a lifetime scholarship.

  • He has got the talents,,,,,

  • this guy could earn alot of money working for any government as a linguist, if he carry's on learning like dat!

  • This guy got me tears... God bless him... If I have any good luck for me, I wish he gets it. *respect*

  • U're an inspiration kid... It happens only in India!! God Bless...
