Last Calligraphers Goes Live on WIRED
The age of Urdu calligraphy isn't over. It's just close to it. For the last couple months I've been fascinated by a small hand written newspaper here in Chennai and have written several posts about it. It even helped inspire my tattoo. I planned a feature story on the paper however after being kicked around the Smithsonian for a few months the story got killed and a somewhat shrunken version of it is now on the front door of WIRED News. Still the story is great and the photos make you wonder how this small paper continues to chug forward in the modern world.
See the WIRED News story here. And the gallery here.
In other news, I just got back from a whirlwind tour of West Bengal on a story about the legacies of colonial medicine in India. This will be a magazine feature in the coming months and you will hear more about it soon.
