flamy Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 LUmdx2YHGcA&feature=player_embedded The earliest forms of newspaper were handwritten and now The Musalman probably is the last handwritten newspaper in the world. This Urdu language newspaper was established in 1927 by Chenab Syed Asmadullah Sahi and has been published daily in the Chennai city of India ever since.
Asim Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Awesome Stuff :hatsoff: Just like most other arts, Urdu/Arabic calligraphy is God-gifted, not everyone can (or even learn to) write like that... Today not much professional use left for this art because of computers but I can sense how these guys must be feeling while writing it all by hand, computers can never give them that satisfaction. Beautiful Indeed!
flamy Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 The pure passion for their art is suhweeeeet. :yay:
Laaloo Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 My hand writing has always been piss poor. I need to start improving it. Need to start writing in gujarati, hindi and then sanskrit.
flamy Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 I use a writing pad at work to keep track of my daily tasks (high-level plans are of course on the computer). I like it better that way. Also, I remember when I was young, I wanted to learn Calligraphy. I think I will now. Will start with Hebrew, as I recently picked up most of the Aleph-bet anyway.
coffee_rules Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Looks like they distributed this propaganda material outside mosques in Chennai today?
Asim Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I used to do Urdu/Arabic calligraphy (khattati) in School days, was not bad at it but hardly wrote anything since a long time now, sure it must'v got worse by now...
