FOR THE RECORD

‘Paagal means PASSIONATE’

Dinesh Upadhyay has been in the record books 70 times for sending the smallest sms, cashing the smallest cheque, inserting the longest nail up his nose and other such bizarre feats

Despite being a man of few words, Dinesh Shivnath Upadhyay is known to have a big mouth. In many parts of the world, especially in the US, he is even called ‘Maximouth’. A recent Youtube video of him offers clues. It shows the Goregaon resident tying a pack of 92 Natraj pencils with a rubberband, picking the bundle up with both hands and stuffing it inside his mouth. Following this, a newspaper in the US nicknamed him ‘Maximouth’ and a local radio station even gave him an award for being the ‘most pagal Mumbaikar’, which Upadhyay accepted not just because it came from Aamir Khan. “Pagal means passionate,” clarifies the chemistry teacher, who seems to have now made breaking and making new records a way of life.

Upadhyay’s collective record count so far—including mentions in The Limca Book of Records, USA’s The Record Setter, India Book of Records, Miami’s World Records Academyand London’sRecord Holder Republic—is 70. Seated outside his modest home, the

bespectacled coaching class teacher urgently sifts through his many spiral-bound record certificates, eyes bloodshot. “I hardly sleep,” he says, which explains how he must have accomplished such feats as ‘most finger snaps in one minute’, ‘shortest wildlife video’, ‘longest fictional monologue using movie titles’ (a book that now bears Aamir Khan's autograph), most chemical element names in a single tweet and, hold your breath, longest nail inserted inside the nose (“I did it only because a record-holder challenged me to it”).

Though his cheeks hurt every time he tries the pencil stunt and the risk of injury is constant, this multiple-record holder is undeterred in his pursuit. “I want to create as many varied records as I can,” says the stubborn Upadhyay, who idolises New York’s 130-record strong Asrhita Furman. Reason: “He is very versatile.” Upadhyay seems to be getting there soon. Besides 11 Twitter records (which by itself is one of his records), this teacher also holds a certificate for the smallest money transfer ever done by cheque. “During the recession, when my brother refused to accept any money from me for his startup company, I decided to pay him a token amount of one paise by cheque.” He didn’t expect it to be cleared but when it was, Upadhyay instantly knew that he might have unintentionally pocketed a world record.

It was a similar impulse in 2007 that his record addiction can be traced back to. He had chanced upon a “misprinted” envelope then. The stamp and the text on this envelope were all printed in reverse. He immediately filed an RTI seeking information on its place of origin, which revealed that the slip had happened in the Nashik Press. The Limca Book of Records deemed the possession of this unique envelope record-worthy in its 2009 and soon, his hunger pangs for more records became frequent and incurable. “It takes my mind off problems and gave me a sense of personal identity,” he says.

Among his most treasured records is the one he got for possessing a handwritten letter from Gopal Godse (brother of assassin Nathuram Godse). Curiosity saw Upadhyay pen a letter to the conspirator in 1999, seeking his motive for conspiring in Mahatma Gandhi’s murder. “I received a reply that said, ‘Read my biography’,” recalls Upadhyay. “In the letter, he also informed me that he was going to undergo a cataract operation and since I’d mentioned my specialisation in physical chemistry, even asked for my help with creating an electric device using ancient Vedic Hindu sage Agatsya’s mantras.”

Upadhay now has a diary full of over a hundred potential record ideas and is preoccupied with finishing an 11-year-long attempt—the largest Hindi crossword puzzle. His “pagalpan”, however, is lost on his family members. “Except my 15-year-old niece and my pet cat, no one appreciates this. They want me to concentrate on my career, as I don’t earn anything from my records,” he says.

Strangely enough, his trivial pursuits have not got him even local fame. “None of my neighbours know of my records.” Even his students are unaware of their teacher's quaint, famous alter-ego. “I seem to be popular everywhere except in Mumbai,” he smiles, the tinge of regret in his voice unmissable. Perhaps he needs a bigger mouth.

We Should All Be So Lucky As To Find Something In This World That Makes Us Happy:

Man Fits 800 Straws In His Mouth

Posted on 2nd August, 2011 by Senior Editor: Gabe Delahaye

This morning, on the fourth hour of the Today Show, Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford were discussing the 11th-hour vote held yesterday to approve a budget agreement that would, at least temporarily, end these exhausting and disquieting debt ceiling debates. (The Senate is set to vote today but it doesn’t seem like there’s any question that it will pass.) More importantly, they were talking about representative Gabrielle Giffords triumphant return to the House floor after being shot by that lunatic this past spring. She was met with a standing ovation from both sides of the aisle. (Incidentally, for what it is worth, I already knew about both the budget deal’s passage and Gabrielle Gifford’s standing ovation before hearing these dumb dumbs talk about it on the Today Show but I am getting to that part, OK?) With the return of Gabrielle Giffords, the political intensity of the past few weeks was temporarily defused. Everyone’s posturing and aggressive elbows were rendered silence by a powerful reminder that life is fleeting, that we all need to carry on with our business as best we can, and that there are far more important things than being assholes to each other about macro-economic policies that very few of us understand. At which point, Kathie Lee Gifford launched into what has to be one of the most ridiculous discussions of modern politics that I have heard since Senator Bulworth debated Hugh Waldron. Firstly she defended members of the Tea Party, which is fine, I guess, except no one was talking about the Tea Party? Then she pointed out that we have “a constitution that says you can have your beliefs.” Good point. Run for president.

What I’m trying to say is that we will always live in a world governed by massive systems of power and control that are far beyond our means to control and sometimes even beyond our capacity to comprehend them, and there are ACTUAL madmen hiding in the bushes, so you need to take what pleasure you can from this world while you can. If you want to set a new world record by fitting 800 straws in your mouth, please go for it. Although this guy already did, so it will have to be 801.

केवल फिल्म शीर्षको से निर्मित ’लिम्का बुक आफ़ रिकार्डस’ से सम्मनित मोनोलोग "हेलो सिस्टर"

2011-08-06T18:12:00.003-07:00

आपने फिल्मों में कहानी (भले ही सार्थक/ अनर्थक) देखी-सुनी है पर क्या आपने कभी केवल और केवल फिल्म के तूके-बेतूके शीर्षको के उपयोग से किसी अर्थपूर्ण रचना की कल्पना की है? शायद नही की होगी. मुम्बई के दिनेश शिवनाथ उपाध्याय ने इस कल्पना को अपनी इच्छाशक्ति से साकार कर दिखाया है.

अभिनेता आमिर खान द्वारा आटोग्राफ़ की गई पुस्तक "हेलो सिस्टर"

ह्ज़ारो फिल्म शीर्षको से माथापच्ची करने के उपरान्त मुम्बई के इस शिक्षक और लेखक ने ४० विभिन्न देशी-विदेशी भाषाओं मे बनी ६२१ फ़िल्म के शीर्षको का उपयोग कर मौलिक सार्थक मोनोलोग (एकालाप) "हेलो सिस्टर" की रचना की है जिसे हाल ही मे विश्वरिकॉर्ड की मान्यता मिली है.

दिनेश उपाध्याय मुंबई विश्वविद्यालय से भौतिकरसायन विज्ञान मे स्नातकोत्तर (एमएससी) हैं. विज्ञान पृष्ठभूमि उनके लेखन के जुनून में बाधक नहीं है. वह रचनात्मक लेखन में विश्वास करते हैं, साथ ही लेखन मे नये-नये प्रयोग मे लगे रह्ते है. उनके लेखन प्रयोग का बेहतरीन उदाहरण मोनोलोग "हेलो सिस्टर" है.

"हेलो सिस्टर" नाटकीय एकालाप का एक अच्छा उदाहरण है जो एकतरफा टेलीफोन वार्तालाप के रूप में है. इस एकालाप में अल्लादीन अपनी बडी बहन राजनन्दिनी को एक देर रात टेलीफोन कर उसे उसके जीवन से जुडी महत्वपूर्ण सूचना से अवगत कराता है. अल्लादीन के इस भावनात्मक एकतरफा टेलीफोन वार्ता मे हमे मानव प्रकृति के विभिन्न भावनाओं के दर्शन होते है. इस एकालाप की पार्श्वभूमि १९८० के दशक के किसी छोटे - से भारतीय कस्बे / शहर पर आधरित है.

"हेलो सिस्टर" की रचना इतनी बारिकी से की गयी है कि एकबारगी पता ही नही चलता है कि इसे केवल फिल्म के शीर्षको का उपयोग कर बनाया गया है.

दिनेश उपाध्याय को इस रिकॉर्ड की प्रेरणा डा. महेन्द्र मित्तल के शोध प्रबन्ध ग्रन्थ "भारतीय चलचित्र" (१९६८) का अध्ययन करते समय ’उसने कहा था’ और ’देख कबीरा रोया’ इन दो फिल्म शीर्षको को देख कर मिली. दिनेश उपाध्याय ने २००९ के शुरुआती महीने में इस रचना पर काम शुरू किया और इसके लिये उसे ह्ज़ारो फिल्म शीर्षको को खगालना पडा. "हेलो सिस्टर" का वर्तमान स्वरूप विभिन्न भारतीय, एशियाई, यूरोपीय और अमेरिकी फिल्मों के ६२१ शीर्षको से बना है. मूल रूप से इस एकालाप की भाषा हिंदी और अंग्रेजी का मिश्रण है, लेकिन इसमें इस्तेमाल ६२१ फिल्म शीर्षक ४० विभिन्न देशी-विदेशी भाषाओं जैसे अरबी, असमिया, ऑस्ट्रिया, ऑस्ट्रेलियाई, बंगाली, कैंटोनीज़, छत्तीसगढ़ी, क्रोएशियाई, डेनिश, डच, मिस्र, अंग्रेजी, फ्रेंच, जर्मन, हरियाणवी , हिब्रू, हिंदी, हंगरी, इन्डोनेशियाई, आयरिश, इतालवी, जापानी, कन्नड़, कोरियाई, अकर्मण्य, मलयालम, फ़ारसी, पोलिश, पुर्तगाली, रोमानियाई, रूसी, स्पेनी, सर्बियाई, मौन, स्वीडिश, ताइवानी, तमिल, तेलुगु, तुर्की, उर्दू की फिल्मो से है. इन सभी फिल्म शीर्षको को

IMDB ( http://www.imdb.com/ ) और अन्य प्रसिद्ध फिल्म वेबसाइटों से सत्यापित किया गया है. इन फिल्म शीर्षको के पूर्ण ब्योरे हेतु सूची- पत्र भी बनाया गया है जिसमे फिल्मो के वर्ष, भाषा, निर्माता, निदेशक के साथ उनकी उचित वेब लिन्क भी दर्ज है.

मोनोलोग (एकालाप) "हेलो सिस्टर" केवल फिल्म शीर्षको के उपयोग से लिखी गई विश्व की सबसे लंबी अर्थपूर्ण रचना है. लिम्का बुक आफ़ रिकार्ड (भारत) ने २०११ के नवीनतम संस्करण के साहित्य श्रेणी मे इसे स्थान दिया है. गौरतलब है कि लिम्का बुक आफ़ रिकार्ड के २०११ के नवीनतम संस्करण में दिनेश उपाध्याय ४ नवीन रिकॉर्ड को ४ विभिन्न श्रेणियो (व्यापार, सन्चार, मानव कहानी और साहित्य) मे मान्यता मिली है जो एक रिकॉर्ड ही है. न्यूयॉर्क स्थित विश्व रिकार्ड सन्स्था "रिकार्ड सैटर” (URDB) ने भी मोनोलोग "हेलो सिस्टर" को विश्व रिकॉर्ड की मान्यता दी है.

http://recordsetter.com/world-record/fictional-work-monologue-from-only-movie-titles

अपने रिकॉर्ड बनाने के पागलपन के कारण हाल ही मे रेडियो सिटी ९१.१ एफ़एम ने उन्हे 'सबसे पागल मुंबईकर' पुरस्कार के लिये नामान्कित किया था. २३ जून २०११ को रेडियो सिटी मुंबई के स्टूडियो मे अभिनेता आमिर खान ने दिनेश उपाध्याय को ’सबसे पागल मुंबईकर' का पुरस्कार दिया. आमिर खान ने दिनेश उपाध्याय के मोनोलोग "हेलो सिस्टर" को पढ़ा और सराहा. साथ ही आमिर ने उसके इस काम से प्रभावित हो पुस्तक के मुखपृष्ठ पर कामयाबी का अच्छा संदेश लिख हस्ताक्षर किये. गिनिज़ बुक आफ़ वर्ल्ड रिकार्ड से मान्यता मिलने के बाद दिनेश की योजना "हेलो सिस्टर" पर ८-१० मिनट की एक लघु फिल्म निर्माण करने की है.

MAN FITS 800 STRAWS INTO HIS MOUTH

Where we went to school there was a kid who could fit a 50p piece all the way up his nose. He was like a god to us.

The older we have got the less impressed we have become with feats of large or numerous objects crammed into bodily orifices.

Then we stumbled upon this record breaking video (we're guessing it's a record although Guinness don't appear to be present) and we were transported back to the playground chanting that youngsters name as the silver sovereign disappeared up his honker.

"MICHAEL! MICHAEL! MICHAEL!"

HANDWRITTEN LETTER OF BABA AMTE & SADHANA AMTE

2011-07-10T10:48:00.000-07:00

Sad news came to me that Smt. Sandhana Amte died on Saturday 9th July 2011 at Anandvan Ashram, Warora (Maharashtra) at the age of 85 following prolonged illness. She was cremated at Shradhavan located on the premises of Anandvan.

Smt. Sadhana Amte was wife of India’s as well world’s most respected freedom fighter, Gandhian, social worker & social activist Baba Amte known for his work for the rehabilitation and empowerment of poor people suffering from leprosy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Amte

Baba Amte & Sadhana Amte made a great impact on my mind & inspires me a lot from my schooldays. I start following Baba Amte after reading a chapter on him in lower class Marathi textbook. I remember, when I was in 10th standard, I successfully translated Baba Amte’s Marathi poem ‘Manush majhe naav’ in Hindi as ‘Manushya Mera Naam’.

I got a rare opportunity to communicate with both Baba & Sadhana Tai during 1992-93 Mumbai Hindu- Muslim riots.[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_Riots ].
Both were stay at Mahim, Mumbai & tried to stop violence through Gandhian way but faced many obstructions by anti social elements. At the peak of riots, I post a letter to Baba with my feelings about burning Mumbai & breaking relations. I was not expecting any reply from him. I was surprised when I got a handwritten postcard from both couple dated as 8th Feb. 1993. I was thrilled when I read this letter. Even today when I read this letter I become emotional.

Sadhana tai wrote her part in Marathi with starting in Hindi as ‘Baba likh nahi sakte’[Baba unable to write]. Other side of card Baba wrote that he is not ‘jyotishy’(astrologer) but he is predicting that one day I will definitely become a good writer. After reading these words, tears were flow from my eyes. Baba’s those words inspires me in every up down of life. From school days, I start writing short stories for children. Many of them were published in ‘Bal Bharti’ (Publication Division, I & ministry) & other magzines..Today because of Baba’s blessings in my school day time, I created a number of World records in creative writing.

Baba Amte & SadhanaTai were true Gandhian & devoted whole life in the service of poor & needy people. Except Nobel Prize, Baba Amte was awarded by world’s all prestigious awards & honours.

‘HELLO, SISTER!’ - World’s Longest Fictional Work (Monologue) From Only Movie Titles

2011-07-05T06:14:00.000-07:00

Dinesh Shivnath Upadhyaya is a teacher & writer from Mumbai (India). He is a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Physical Chemistry from Mumbai University. Science background is not a barrier in his writing passion. He believe in creative writing, so he always involve in experiments in writing. One of the fine example of his experiments in writing is an original Monologue title as ‘Hello Sister!’

Monologue, in literature and drama is an extended speech written for performance by one person. A dramatic monologue is a piece of performed writing that offers great insight into the feelings of the speaker. It will be any speech of some duration addressed by a character to a second person.

'HELLO SISTER!' autographed by Mr. Perfectionist “Aamir Khan”.

‘Hello Sister!’ is a good example of dramatic monologue which is in the form of one sided telephonic conversation. In this writing work, one sided telephonic conversation is done by Aladdin, younger brother who phone to her sister Rajnandini in one late night & remaining content is all about his emotional conversation. In his conversation, Aladdin shows different emotion of human nature. The set up of this monologue is of 1980’s, somewhere in small town of India..

One of the unique & special features of this writing work is that, Dinesh has written it with using only & only movie titles. As per his knowledge & research, this is the very first kind of work in entire writing world. Dinesh used total 621 movie titles in the formation of ‘Hello Sister!’

These 621 titles are from different Indian, Asian, European & American movies. All movie titles were verified from http://www.imdb.com/ & other renowned movie sites. He prepared an INDEX to show the details (Year, Language, Director, Producer) of each & every movie titles he used in his work.

Dinesh Upadhyaya started this work in starting month of 2009 & for this he dealt with thousands of world movies.

One important thing here Dinesh want to mention that, it is written with so much care that all movie titles makes sense & no one can easily point out that this work is made from only movie titles.

According to Dinesh Upadhyaya’s belief, it is world’s longest fictional writing work using only & only movie titles. It is grammatically correct & totally meaningful.

“Experiment With Life”: World’s Shortest Video

2011-06-11T10:53:00.000-07:00

Every day we are doing some experiments with our life. Every day we are trying to fill some different colour in our life to overcome the same black & white life.

On ‎October 13, ‎2010, using these philosophies of life Dinesh Shivnath Upadhyaya from Mumbai (India) made an experimental video "Experiment With Life". This video is unique & in real sense an experiment because it contain no characters, no dialogues, no sound & not even credits.

Dinesh Upadhyaya who is a teacher & writer by profession is also a serious movie watcher. After watching great classic movies from great directors like Satyajit Ray, Hrishkesh Mukherji, Guru Dutt, Roman Polanski, De Sica, Federico Fellini, Alfred Hitchcock, Roberto Benigni made a deep impact on him.

He always wanted to do something with movies. Since movie making is most expensive & unit work, he decided to make such a movie/video which requires no money but fulfill his dream.

Sometimes a single image or a single word or a slogan or a symbol enough to express the whole story. He used this formula in making his odd but unique video. Being M.Sc. in Physical Chemistry, he spends more than 8 years in chemistry lab. So he used scientific approach to express his meaning of life. In his shortest movie, unknown hands filling Violet colour chemical from a conical flask to a test tube. Here he symbolically wants to express that test tube is our life & we are trying to fill colour from conical flask to in it. Here conical flask may be our society, our surroundings or may be whole world. Unclear background expresses the uncertainty of our life. He intentially used Violet because this "cool" colour is the highest colour in the visible spectrum & it relates to self knowledge/ spiritual awareness. It is the union with our higher self, with spirituality, and our higher consciousness.

He totally aware that most of the viewers were going to criticize his creation, going to laugh on his creation but he has faith on it.

He claim that "Experiment With Life" is world's shortest meaningful video. Reason behind his claim is strong because the length of movie is just 0.4 second i.e. 0.0067 minute i.e. 0.00011 hour.

आपको याद दिला दें कि अमेरिका के टोड डेफेजियो ने अपने मुंह में 70 पेंसिल्स घुसाई थीं। उसने यह रिकॉर्ड 13 सितंबर 2010 को बनाया था। इस रिकॉर्ड को बनाने के लिए पूरी पेंसिल को कम से कम 5 सेकेंड तक मुंह में रखना होता है। इसके लिए रबर बैंड का इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है। एक महत्वपूर्ण शर्त यह भी होती है कि पेंसिल को बिना किसी बाहरी सपोर्ट के मुंह में रखना होता है। वाकई में अद्भूत काम किया है दिनेश ने।

Most World record of “Most words spelled using the letters in ‘LIVESTRONG’ posted on tumblr”

2011-02-12T00:42:00.000-08:00

In recent months, I made some world records for Universal Record Database (URDB). I have great experience with URDB.

Recently, I made a world record of “Most words spelled using the Letters in “CANCER” in one tweet”. While making this record I came to know that this record is a part of awareness programme of URDB & LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance. Both were unite together for raising young adult cancer awareness through world records.

The LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance is a coalition of organizations with the goal to improve the survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40. The Alliance is committed to promoting research and the investigation of the problem, serving as a voice for the issue and promoting effective solutions.

http://www.livestrong.org

In very first instance, I love the word LIVESTRONG. I like the word LIVESTRONG because it is so inspiring, so interesting & so thoughtful that I decided to make meaningful words from its letters as most as possible. Initially I set a target of at least 50 words but as soon as I involve in word formation process I was totally amazed. At present I formed 250 words & I still believe that more words I can form.

Making 250 words from a single 10 letter word LIVESTRONG was really great task for me & I am satisfied with my work.

All my 250 words (making total 1,114 letters) were belongs to English language.

I used only Collins language dictionary for reference. http://www.collinslanguage.com/.

I followed following Record Criteria for making this interesting record.

1) Any language permitted, though all words must be same language

2) Using Collins Language (SOWPODS) as English dictionary reference http://www.collinslanguage.com

3) Proper nouns not acceptable

4) May only use a letter as many times as it appears in the word (i.e. can’t turn a single “A” into multiple “A”s)

Most Pencils Fit in Mouth at Once

(URDB Feat of the Week)

29th Jan, 2011

http://www.urlesque.com/2011/01/29/most-pencils-fit-in-mouth-at-once-urdb-feat-of-the-week/

Welcome to 'Feat of the Week', in which our pals over at the Universal Record Database (where everyone can set a world record) hand-select one awesome world record to highlight.

As a teacher and scribe, Mumbai's Dinesh Upadhyaya is a big believer in creative writing. He is also a big believer in creatively writing his way into the record books. After setting an eclectic bunch of URDB world records -- from Most Finger Snaps in One Minute to Most Chemical Symbols From The Periodic Table Of Elements In A Single Tweet -- Dinesh has recently zeroed in on pencil-based achievements.

Though his Tallest Pencil Tower and Most Pencils Held in Hand feats were impressive, one record stands alone, measuring 9.8 OMGs on the Internet Impact Scale. This record is Most Pencils Fit In Mouth At Once.

Dinesh, or "Maximouth" as he is now known, crammed 92 sticks of wood and graphite into his cavernous maw. Of particular distinction is his placement technique: his initial group insertion of approximately 85 pencils was swiftly followed by individual additions on all sides of his gob.

Watch his rubber lips in action in this eye-popping video:
Oh, and the fact that he wears aviator sunglasses for the entirety of the record? Bad-ass.

Reckon your mouth is more malleable than Dinesh's? Beat this world record by submitting a video at URDB.org.
