Miniature wonder fetches him place in Guinness Book of World Records

“My initial attempts to enter the Guinness Book of World Records failed as I was not trying anything different. Even after receiving over a dozen awards including Bharat Gaurav Award and Rajiv Gandhi Excellence Award and breaking over 50 records, including Limca Book of Records, India Book of Records and Book of State Records, his hunger for setting new records remained. Sharing his excitement with The Hindu, the miniature artist says hard work and undeterred determination to stay focused will aid in achieving anything that one aspires to be. It took just 23 minutes for Gattem Venkatesh to carve a miniature model of the Empire State Building on an 18-mm long toothpick, but it took him over two-and-a-half years to get entry into the Guinness Book of World Records. After thorough research, I designed the miniature art crafting a toothpick using a surgical blade and a cutter.
