Arnav Daga’s Incredible Card-Stacking Talent: Turning a Hobby into World Records!

15-year-old Arnav Daga from Kolkata has done something extraordinary with just a deck of cards and a sky-high dream. What began as a quiet hobby in his childhood soon turned into something the world would applaud. He broke not one, but four Guinness World Records in just 24 hours by constructing the tallest card towers in 1 hour, 8 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours. Sounds unbelievable, right? But that’s what happens when passion meets perseverance, and most importantly, family support.Arnav’s Support System: A Family That Believed in His Passion! Behind every young achiever, there’s someone cheering the loudest and for Arnav, it was his parents. While most would brush off card stacking as a ‘waste of time,’ Arnav’s family stood beside him, helping him turn this so-called “fun game” into a serious art form. They provided him with the space, time, motivation, and mental strength to aim for the stars. Whether it was helping him prepare hundreds of cards or keeping him calm during moments of fatigue, his parents were there like rock-solid pillars. Arnav shared, “Card stacking has always been my passion. But without my parents, I don’t think I would’ve dared to dream this big.”The journey to those four records wasn’t easy. In his first attempt, Arnav managed to build 30 levels in just one hour. But the real challenge came next, maintaining focus and strength for the remaining 23 hours. “I was already tired after the first record,” he admitted. “But I knew I couldn’t give up.” He plugged in his headphones, played his favorite music, and with every card carefully balanced, he built a tower that reached 61 levels, enough to break the remaining three records. Each card held not just weight, but dreams.Just A Hobby? Think Again!In 2023, he had already set a world record by building the largest card structure, replicating Kolkata’s iconic buildings using over 1.43 lakh cards. From the Salt Lake Stadium to the St. Paul’s Cathedral, each structure reflected his love for art, patience, and his hometown. Arnav says, “From watching records being made to setting them myself, it’s been magical. And one day, I hope to hold every card-stacking title in the world.”Moral of the story? Your passion is powerful. Your dreams are valid. And when you have someone who believes in you, even a stack of cards can build a castle of achievements. So to every young dreamer reading this, never stop playing, creating, and believing.
