Woman etches her name into record books by squeezing 150 words on to one tiny sticky note

Many of us will be familiar with scribbling something down on a sticky note so we don’t forget a task we need to get done.

But how many words do you think you could actually fit on one?

Pushpajothi Ravikumar (UAE) has claimed a world record for the most words written on a sticky note by squeezing a huge 150 different words on to one.

The 29-year-old, who works as a senior cloud engineer, took on the challenge in Dubai to make her dream of breaking a record come true.

She told us: “Since childhood, I've watched Guinness World Records and always dreamed of being part of it. Seeing people achieve these records inspired me deeply. One day the idea just clicked, and I decided to take the leap and apply.”

While Jothi pushed herself to fit as many words as possible on the note, she says she had to set a limit because the words still had to be readable.

“I chose simple, short words - mostly three letters - to make the most of the space,” she said of her tactics.

Jothi broke the record on her very first attempt and says she loves experimenting with different handwriting styles.

She was also delighted with the reaction she got for her record online.

She said: “I posted a video on Instagram that reached nearly 1 million views. It inspired so many people - even my family, friends, and college started asking about it.”

Adding that she’s keen to break more records, she said: “This is a huge platform to showcase talent - even talent you didn't know you had. I believe every person carries something unique inside them.

“My achievement may seem small to some, but for me, it was about taking the step to show what I can do. This platform gave me that chance, and it's given me real confidence. I'm proud to say I'm a Guinness World Records title holder.”
