Radha Kant Bajpai, 55, of Kanpur, said he achieved the record five years ago and has since far surpassed his own ear-ccomplishment. Relative Shiv Shakti Pandey praised Bajpai's accomplishment.

"This is a great achievement. At first the society used to taunt him that why he is growing his ear hair, he won't receive any record for this. I used to tell them that one day he will get some result out of it," Pandey said. "But then by gods grace, Bajpai made a record and the same people today say that he has really achieved something in his life."

At last... a record I can aim for!

Another few inches and I can go for the comb over...
