    Woman writes 434-meter-long letter to brother after he blocked her on WhatsApp

    A woman in India forgot to wish her brother on International Brother’s Day this year, after which he stopped picking up her calls and blocked her on WhatsApp. To make it up to him, she wrote a 434-meter-long letter on billing rolls that weighed more than 5kg. It took her 12 hours to complete the letter.

    “I forgot to wish him. I usually call him or send him a text on Brother’s Day but I forgot this year due to my busy work schedule. I saw he sent me screenshots of all the wishes he received from others. We share a mother-son relationship. I was sad because he stopped talking to me and even blocked me on WhatsApp,” Krishnapriya told the media.

    “We have a seven-year age gap. So he respects me and fears me a little like a mother or a teacher. We are very attached to each other and share a very friendly relationship,” she added.

    “I was hurt and disappointed when she did not wish me on Brother’s Day this year…She must have felt bad about what happened and that is why she wrote the letter. I was very happy when I received it,” said Krishnaprasad, brother of Krishnapriya.

    Krishnapriya thinks that this could be the longest letter ever written and has submitted an application to the Guinness Book of World Records.
