    • I think if something is done with passion, it shines through. At least the effort will, if not anything else! The problem occurs when it doesn't even come out. And by coming out, I mean it...

    • Fair point - when you are learning, of course you can't be exceptional all the time. However, I think it is very important to realize you are learning and to evaluate your work critically...

Handwriting

Started by Shripriya · 8 months ago

The digital age has destroyed my handwriting. I used to have a really nice flowing handwriting that was, if not beautiful, at least attractive.

    Hi!
    I still use my 'china pen' frm school days just because it helps me preserve the writing. Maybe sticking to one particular pen might work :)
    cheers

    @TGFI - I am so with you. But I can't use my typing as the excuse for forgetting my Tamil!

    @Priyank - I rediscovered the joy of fountain pens, but it still hasn't rescued my handwriting! But the fabulous fountain pen is fodder for another post :)

    In my case, the keyboard is a blessing. My handwriting, though legible, was nowhere near beautiful and my teachers and aunts were forever taunting me on this. The PC/email era arrived and everybody forgot my handwriting ;)

    Although I can hardly claim to have beautiful script (distinctive, perhaps) I was concerned a few months back to see how it had deteriorated too.

    So, I started writing more by hand in my notebook, trying to scribble something everyday.

    I also started writing letters again. I have a few good mates (who I don't see all that much) and rather than email snippets and fragements, we write to each other. It's a good discipline, helps the handwriting and it's so much fun. Letters are so much more satifying to read than emails. ;o)

    I donno, but for someone like me who grew up banging a keyboard from 10, I have virtually no handwriting :)

    And pleases me to know, that I am not the only one who forgot some of my Tamil letters (happened to me after 2 years of french!) :)
