Calligraphic Addresses

Personalized invitation addresses in today's age of computer and printers is great surprise to receiver. When receiver holds the envelope in his/her hands, one can feel the love and warmth of the sender. It may look old fashioned but it has nostalgic value for rest of the life.

One can feel the care,thoughts and effort which go in writing calligraphy, truly it is like jewels on paper, indeed timeless and precious.

I have experienced joy and surprise in the eyes of receivers when ever I have given calligraphic art works as gift, memoir or souvenir. It was quite a surprise for me when my son Arpit studying in Medical school in Maharashtra insisted I write calligraphically a poem (Miles to go before I sleep...) so that he keeps himself motivated and feel our presence around him.
