She was also recognised by the International Book of Records.

Borah is doing her Bachelors of Arts degree from North Lakhimpur College. She added that the first story, Makoi Besa Lorajon, is based on a true story of a 9-year-old boy who, to make ends meet, sells corn on the roadside day in and out.

Ritamoni Borah added, "I aimed to create an uproar with the small book so that the newer generations who have lost the taste of reading books will be attracted to this." She also said, "My goal was not to make a book that would be considered to be one of the smallest published books."
