but do you know how do i take back my real id and home in ubuntu

I'm still not entirely sure what you did, but it sounded like you just
deletes your home folder. If this is the case, then only a data recovery
software will get it back for you. First, follow Colin's directions in
his reply, and see if that works for you. If you confirm that your home
folder is indeed missing, then perhaps somebody can help walk you
through using a data recovery software.

First logon as whoever you can and see if your home folder is still
there (/home/aswin, or whatever your username was). If it is then
take a backup copy of it as insurance.

As Colin pointed out in his reply (abbreviated above), log in as
whatever user you can, just to check and see if your home folder
(i.e. /home/<your user name>) is still there. (go to "Places > Computer
Filesystem > home" and see if there's a folder in there w/ your old
username (the broken one). if the folder IS there, check to see if it's
not empty. report back with your findings)
