A school in India is reportedly teaching its students to use both their hands to write on different subjects simultaneously.
All 72 pupils of the Veena Vadini School at Singrauli in Madhya Pradesh use both their hands “with equal ease”, reports Asian News International.
The school set up in 1999, for children aged between four and eight, holds its classes outdoors.
Principal Virangat Sharma said: "All the children here can write on different subjects and in different languages.
"Not just that, these children can use both their hands to write in two different languages on two different subjects at the same time."
One student, Kamla, said: "I know six languages -- Hindi, Urdu, English, Roman, Sanskrit and Arabic. I can write in two languages at one time."

...Ripleys had once featured some cases of amazing ambidexterity. Checking the Best of Ripleys volume on my bookshelf, I found these examples. On the left, Lena Deeter of Conway, Arkansas, who "could write with both hands simultaneously -- backwards, forwards, upside-down, even upside-down backwards! She could write in a different direction with each hand simultanously." (She appeared in a Ripleys cartoon on April 1, 1942... I assume she wasn't an April Fool's joke.) On the right is "a 1936 Dallas Odditorium performer [who] could draw three different cartoons simultaneously -- with both hands and a foot!"
