World Record set for tiny writing

Share to Google Classroom

A woman from the United Arab Emirates broke a Guinness World Record by writing 150 different words onto a single sticky note.

Pushpajothi Ravikumar, aged 29, achieved the feat in Dubai, proving that her tiny handwriting skills were among the best in the world.

Ravikumar said she had dreamed of becoming a record holder since she was a child, after watching Guinness World Records for years. She explained that watching other people achieve amazing records had inspired her to try one herself, and that the idea to attempt the sticky note record had suddenly come to her one day.

Fitting so many words onto such a small space was no easy task. Ravikumar said she had needed to think carefully and get creative to make sure every single word stayed neat and easy to read, despite the note’s tiny size.
