Gumber's mother Monisha said that her son has always been interested in symbols, signs, and logos. She said, “He has an exceptional picture memory and usually never forgets an image once he has seen it. He does have a variety of interests and likes to know about things into detail, just like air planes. Although he loves country flags, we focused on aeroplane tails for the Guinness record because they too are unique."

She added that her son took about 1.5 seconds per airline tail.
