Month: October 2005

Back from Delhi having escaped the bombs by a few hours difference. I was happily roaming around 3.30 in Pahadganj area and returned home by 5 on 29th. 2nd time lucky having escaped the bombs planted around the town.

Chirography (ky-ROG-ruh-fee) noun

Back in the Jurassic era, when there were no laptops and no text-messaging,
people used a little thing called a pen to write on a flat surface known
as paper. Chirography is a word from those times. It means handwriting or
penmanship, also known as calligraphy.

My daughter says, “Why didn’t they just download new fonts to their pens?”
Well, we did once have fountain pens.
