Reformat your Gmail address with dots

You can reformat your existing Gmail address by inserting dots (periods) anywhere within your Gmail username. The Gmail Help pages explain:

"Because Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, adding or removing dots from a Gmail address won't change the actual destination address. Messages sent to yourusername@gmail.com and y.o.u.r.u.s.e.r.n.a.m.e@gmail.com are all delivered to your Inbox, and only yours."

Sounds puzzling !!! Ofcourse ... There may be lot of quizzical questions popping out of ur geeky mind now .... It s same with me too .. What the hell is Google doing ??
See this Gmail help page(Yes , ofcourse , it s google's page).
