diwali greeting cards,
written with a real pen.

A forwarded Diwali image is deleted by evening. A card in real ink, with a diya the pen drew, stands on the shelf beside the lamps.

$5.15 a card, plus delivery.

Who gets one

Family at home, and clients who stayed all year.

Family and friends

Grandparents in another city, cousins abroad. Write in Hindi, Tamil or Gujarati and the pen writes that script. Diwali messages to copy.

Clients and staff

A box of sweets is forgotten; a card with their name is not. Upload a sheet and a card goes to each one. Notes for corporate Diwali gifts.

What to write in a Diwali card

Questions

Is it really handwritten?
Yes. A machine holds a real pen and writes your message in ink. It is not a printed font made to look like handwriting.
Can I write in Hindi or another Indian language?
Yes. Type in your language and the pen writes it in that script.
Can I send cards to all my clients?
Yes. Upload a CSV or a Google Sheet and a card goes to each row, with the same message or each its own.
Will it arrive before Diwali?
Inside India, order about two weeks ahead. Abroad, about three. The windows below are usual, not promised.

Send Diwali wishes by hand.

Write the message once. A real pen does the rest.
