  Hi @sworupra,
  You should have asked for help in the forum before changing your username.

  Because, once you change your username you cannot go back to your old one. It is reserved and cannot be used by anyone(not even the owner). This is done, to keep your from being impersonated by someone else.

  Thanks!
