Just at the time the world went into lockdown, I found a wee leather bound notebook. I have been writing letters for my granddaughter to read when she’s in her teens. She’s two now. I write as if a young woman will be reading and I am writing of her and the world as it was and is now and how we are navigating it. I love that one day she will hold this book in her hands and know how much she is loved and the story of her growth. I have held letters my mom wrote her mother when my parents immigrated from England to Canada. My mother passed a king time ago when I was young, but as you said holding the letters, seeing her beautiful handwriting and the way she expressed herself is a gift of herself to me.

That was so lovely. I am nearly 80 and I have saved all the letters I ever received from those I loved. I was so lonely when my parents moved cities after I married and was just 19 and very unwell starting a baby. My father new me so well that he wrote to me every day for 3 years. We then moved up to live near them. I saved every letter. He would tell me all about the day he spent with my mother. Little things that were so special. He was very humorous. He kept mine too. I found them after he died. I never said I was lonely but I could feel the pain and burnt mine. I’m sorry now. I always did little drawings. Recently I was showing my school blazer to someone and found a note in the top pocket. A school friend passed me a note in class asking if she could borrow my homework to copy. I have my dads wallet. In it is a little letter printed from boarding school when I was 8. Quite short but telling him how we had played pretending we were in Enid Blyton Faraway tree. So many others I have had bound . I just don’t know what to do with them. I know my daughter would burn them. Thank you for the memories. Do you have your own blog site ?
@angiedasner3 жыл бұрын
Oh are you sure your daughter would burn them? My father passed in December and we found letters from him to my Mom when he was stationed in Japan. We enjoyed reading each one and we divided them up between the siblings. My father, Abraham Lincoln, was a calligrapher, an author and artist and although I didn’t appreciate it much when he was alive, I now have purchased fountain pens and I’m learning calligraphy. I loved this video that Rajik made. I just discovered him on a video of his home. He has inspired me to start writing again. I’m sure your daughter would value any letters you have. Perhaps you can ask her about them? I hope you have a lovely weekend. I’m in Ohio and it’s hot but so humid you feel like you are melting. ❤️ angela

I'm so grateful that she and I have kept up this practice all of these decades.

Postman, Postman don't be slow. Get on your bike, and go man go. My childhood friend and I used to write this poem I made up on the envelopes when we corresponded in the holidays. And we sent a 2p piece back and throw. I spent a lot of time in Kent (UK) with family. But I missed my dear friend Merrill in Hastings by the sea, so writing letters was a wonderful way of staying in touch. I was taught ITA English Twaddle in School. A backward Alien language that made no sense at all, especially coming from an English Town in the UK. Being Dyslexic, school was hard. But I did not let that stop me enjoying the love of writing.

Letter writing has indeed become a forgotten art . When I was in college, I waited with so much anticipation for a letter from my father. Written in his impeccable hand he brought alive all that I missed when I was away from home ,and yes made me miss my parents and home all the more. He mentioned the passing seasons, the smells and sounds as summer gave way to unending monsoon, the work in progress in our compound, from weeding to pruning to Ithinayi bringing his bulls to plough our terraced 2acre piece of land. He moved on to what mum was cooking for lunch, and how she kept some sardines specially aside for my pet cat Nunu. It brought me great joy as I pored over the contents , while we were served our evening tea and snacks , the hour when post was distributed to all the hostelites. I stowed his precious letters away carefully, pulling them out from a case, from time to time, to go over his lines, cry sometimes and kiss his signature as if he were there in my room. Yes , holding a hand written letter is so precious, as it fills you with such a warm feeling , and is a great source of comfort to cling to, when the need arises! I do look forward to see your handwriting. Thank you Rajiv for this delightful video.

I’ve had to stop your video 6:29 into to it to share how meaningful it is to me already. I have an incredibly dear friend who has never engaged in social media and I feel quite certain never will. Absolutely refuses. And given this fact coupled with him living in a different country from me, we do not communicate unless I am there for a visit. Given the pandemic I have not been to visit since 2019. So I’ve been trying to convince myself to just put pen to paper and write him. I’ve purchased a few nice cards, and even got wax and a lovely seal. But I have not done it in the nearly 2 years that I last saw him. So for whatever random reason your video popped up in my KZbin feed. Quite odd because I’ve never looked up anything with regard to letter writing. Here’s where it gets interesting. As you were reading Beatrix Potter‘s letter, my jaw flew open! You see, the place that I’m talking about where my friend lives is in fact Cornwall. I know exactly where the Lizard is, and Falmouth, because the very tiny fishing village where I have spent three or four summers is much like the one she mentioned in her letter! Of all videos That could possibly come up for a topic that I’ve been thinking about but never looked up, your video did! Of all the tiny little corners of the entire globe that I need inspiration to send a letter to, you happen to have a video on letter writing that includes a letter sent from the exact location of my dear friend!?! I’m gob-smacked! I am now going to Finish watching your video. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous, so warm and inviting. As is decadence and sound of your voice. I do hope you have your own channel so that I can follow it. And you can rest assured that in the next few days a letter will be going from New Orleans to Cornwall, all thanks to you! 🙏🏽 📫📩📮🇬🇧✨

Thank you. This is exactly a subject I spoke about at work yesterday. I even went so far as picking up stamps and stationary. This weekend i am devoting a few hours to the art.

I cannot say how much I love this! I am the letter writer of my family and wrote to my siblings and mother when I lived out of state. When I moved back, I stopped writing to them, but now my sister is moving two states away and my brother bought a house in a town two hours distant and I’m going to start writing to them again. You’ve inspired me!

Plaice rhymes with lace and is a delicious fish like flounder. Thanks for the impetus to put pen to paper! I half expected you to say you make your own paper and ink, you are so accomplished!

Rajiv Surendra you are an absolute joy and inspiration. I have only seen two videos featuring yourself, and you've left a lifelong impression. You inspire an urgent need to live authentically and creatively. I so very much hope we get to see more from you!

Rajiv, I recently sent my granddaughter a copy of the book, The Art of the Handwritten Note by Margaret Shepherd. She fell in love with it as I had. She is now writing me letters!!! AND taking interest in calligraphy. Success! Now her baby sister has taken up the joy of writing letters. I will be sharing your video with them this evening. Thank you, Rajiv.

Rajiv, They do not even teach cursive in public schools any more. This is so sad! In school I Was taught Script. In the past I did calligraphy, but I have to really stay in practice to keep it looking nice. So, it has been put aside for years. I have letters my grandmother sent to me & I even have a letter from Mother Theresa. I wrote to her & she wrote me back! This is an art I do hope we revive! Thanks for your video. You read Ms Potter’s letter so well. Oh, almost forgot, I write God a letter every morning. Starting, Good Morning dear God, I spend time thanking him for blessings I received the day before, I list them, then I turn to Gods word & write It down & I listen to what God has to say to me. Asking him for direction for that day. Pray for others & then I am ready for the day!

I have the exact opposite experience with a letter that ends mid page. I feel like the writer didn’t try to jam the conversation into the last page, but gave the conversation space to come to its natural conclusion. I love your work 💕

Rajiv, this was wonderful. I'm lucky to have pen-pals all over the world in regular correspondence, so you're preaching to the choir here, but I could watch you do it all day! Thanks for sharing the letter you received--it was beautifully done and inspires me for my next one!

Greetings! Very inspiring and encouraging in writing letters to our loved ones, friends and lately I try to write at least 10 letters a month to neighbors. Especially because they need words of strength and encouragement in these days of calamity and disease. I think using empathy and a few words of strength, hope and faith in God. This letters will help his soul and put a smile on their face. Thank you for inspiring many to handwriting through this video.

Thanks for this video that was so exquisite and charming. Although I’m in my 60’s, I have seen the decline in letters and postcards from family and friends. And yet when you receive something handwritten and waiting in your mailbox it’s always a special moment. I think I need to find a pen pal and begin to written. ❤️ angie
