shubh deepavali
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
Four tones. Change the names.
Family
Happy Diwali, Dadi. I will light a diya here at the same time as you. Love, Meera
Friends
Shubh Deepavali, Rohan! May the year ahead be as bright as your terrace tonight. Sam
Client
Happy Diwali, Priya. Thank you for a wonderful year together. Wishing your family light and prosperity. Dev
Short

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.
