Got the India Book of Records (After 5 Days... and Then 25 More).


They said:

"You’ll get your India Book of Records certificate in 5 days."

Me, 30 days later:

“So... was that 5 business days on Mars?”

Anyway — it’s official now.

I’ve been awarded a world record by the India Book of Records.

Yes, it’s real. Yes, I checked the watermark. Yes, I’m still recovering from the wait.

🧠 What’s the Record?

[Insert your actual record here — or keep it mysterious for dramatic effect.]

🕰️ Timeline (a.k.a. Emotional Damage Log)

  • Day 1: Applied. Hopeful. Bright-eyed.
  • Day 5: “Any update?”
  • Day 10: “Just checking in…”
  • Day 20: “Hi, just following up again 😅”
  • Day 30: Certificate arrives — Trust issues installed successfully.

🧪 Developer Notes

  • Async process. No ETA. No retries.
  • Response time: undefined.
  • But hey — it compiled in the end.

🧾 Final Thoughts

If you’re applying for a record:

  • Be patient.
  • Be persistent.
  • And maybe don’t believe the “5 days” thing unless you’re on a different timeline.
