How did Arul Kumar discover facebook bug?
Many people including engineers must be surfing facebook but what thing (quality) made Arul Kumar detect the bug?
Which personality traits / speciality (including the fact that he is an Electronic Engineer) does he have? Any guesses?
My intention behind asking this question is to get inspired from the boy.

He used his brain, and his human body.

It would most likely require an extensive knowledge of web-based coding/programming languages. Those typically involved in this sort of thing would be PHP and/or JavaScript. But, it could also be Ruby on Rails (although to my knowledge, Facebook is coded in PHP and JavaScript, not Ruby).

Have the knowledge & brain (the tools) and perseverance to see & analyze every detail, systematic, focus and determination, put all the heart & mind to do what he do.
Knowledge alone achieve nothing like a knife can cut woods, but carving it need more than a knife (knowledge) to do it, it need dedication & heart too.
