DISQUS

Almost As Good As Chocolate: Handwriting

    ah! most will agree, i'm sure. (esp. in the blogging community) :p
    the worst was when i realised i was forgetting some of hindi script..like how to write a certain letter, or getting it all wrong. :(

    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 ;)

    cool. Mabe you can tag me in case you do a post on fountain pen. I'll do the same and pass on to others :P

    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!) :)
