The Last Hand-written Newspaper in the World


Probably the Mulsalman is the last hand-written newspaper in the world. The documentary shows passion and feisty of the owner and employees in this die-hard Indian industry. I do appreciate their efforts to preserve calligraphy as the spirit of the newspaper. These unique qualities of human strokes were displayed precisely on simple black-and-white printing. Not to mention how difficult and patient they should be while writing.  Somehow, I can image how readers get the simple joy everyday while holding and reading through these careful and beautiful writings. Hopefully, their spirit will last long and arouse more appreciation later on.
