The lady selling it had opened a small store in the town where we lived. The first one I acquired was an LC Smith typewriter. However, when I first saw typewriter art- intricate pictures of icons and scenes using simple typewriter alphabets here in the US, I developed a fascination for them. They just needed to type at a lightning speed of 120-140 wpm and make no errors. I never really cared to know whether they were using a Remington or a Godrej or an electric typewriter. I felt these gentleman with their typewriters could hold your entire class grade ransom if they did not work fast and accurately. And because the process was so draining, it was never my favorite activity. It required going back two-three times to check if your paper was complete. It meant a quick walk to Hill Road where you received bids from the two stores next to each other. It meant the neatest of penmanship for the "rough copy" so it was clearly decipherable by the typist. Getting a paper typed as a student meant going to the Xerox/Typing wallah and paying up to Rs 1.25 per page. I’m going to let Meera take over from here and share her love for the typewriter…. And bingo, she had not one but three typewriters to share! So I decided to dedicate an entire feature to her wonderful collection. So I reached out to her and she very graciously obliged. It was but natural that when I thought of putting together a feature on typewriters, she instantly came to mind.

Expanding on that I mean people who see the entire process of decorating ones home as more than putting together of pretty objects. I’ve said this before and you will hear me saying this again……….the most positive aspect of blogging is meeting like-minded people (even if the connection is virtual.) It is more than rewarding to connect with people who share the same creative vision as you.
