Holder of 4 Guinness World Records
Several Indians have made it into the Guinness Book of World Records, but few have repeated the feat. Dipak Syal, a qualified interior designer from Yamunanagar, has made it four times into the book. He is the only Asian with this record to his credit. But he wants to do more. ‘‘I want to line up some more records breaking all human achievements to get a total of 11 records which will make me the person with the highest number of Guinness records’’ says 28-year old Dipak.
Dipak is perhaps the only person known to have made portraits on grains of rice. In his collection he has a number of portraits of prominent persons. One of them is the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi painted on a single grain of rice.
Recently he sketched with naked eyes the portrait of H.H. Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum as a millennium art piece on a rice grain with the name UAE flag (coloured) and his signature. And to make it extraordinary, the grain is passed through a human hair. He spent more than 700 hours in seven months to complete this special artifact masterpiece. Till date this is the best miniature work he has done in 15 years.
Dipak started trying his hand on micro miniatures in 1985. In school his talent did not get any recognition or encouragement. However, he continued topping in arts and drawing.
In 1987 Dipak started entering competitions. Finally, he succeeded in writing 813 alphabets on a single grain of rice which was far above the existing record during 1990. At present he can write more than 2,500 alphabets and can draw anybody’s portrait on a grain of rice.
The Guinness officials approached him for a performance and Dipak with aplomb repeated the feat. They awarded him with the laurel of being the world record holder.
Dipak uses a human hair split 11 times as a brush, dipped in natural colours to write and draw on grains. Then the grain is polished with a thin layer of lacquer to give it a long life.
He does microminiature with the naked eye. Each portrait or inscription takes six to 12 months. This is the statuary condition laid down by the Guinness people that no external aids should be used to perform a feat, says Dipak.
The four records Dipak has made are writing 2,557 alphabets on a grain of rice, balancing 253 coins horizontally on the edge of a vertically free standing coin, balancing 21 coins horizontally, vertically and alternately on their edges and threading a sewing needle 8,927 times in two hours continuously (77 times in a minute).
He has also drawn the entire globe on a lizard egg. He believes one must have a sharp eyesight, good reflexes and an artistic vision for indulging in minuscule writing or painting. ‘‘I reckon I have an excellent eyesight, that is why I have pledged to donate my eyes to the eye bank,’’ he says.
He has won the State Award. Now he is eyeing the National Award. He has plans to manage the next set of human achievement records within the next few months.
Dipak was honoured and sponsored by a number of big organisations in India and abroad. Recently his trip to Dubai was sponsored by Air India to display his latest ‘‘masterpiece’’, the portrait of Sheikh Rashid on a grain of rice which is the only piece in the world. It will be kept for public viewing at Sheikh Zahid Museum, Dubai. This will be a proud moment for India that an Indian artist’s artwork will be kept in an international museum.
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dipak Syal - Micro Miniaturist, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.tribuneindia.com/2000/20000523/haryana.htm.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dipak Syal - Micro Miniaturist[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Dipak Syal - Micro Miniaturist, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

October 2013[edit]
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Dipak Syal - Micro Miniaturist. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
