The journey post-application wasn’t smooth. With follow-ups and a silence stretching for 6 months, doubt crept in. I almost accepted that it won’t get approved. But at 3:45 PM on a seemingly ordinary day, my phone buzzed with an email notification “Congratulations, now you are Guinness World Records Title Holder,” reads her old LinkedIn post.
