A unique biography that explores and celebrates the life of one of India’s greatest calligraphers.

‘Every artist starts with shaky lines. With practice, these lines can turn into a masterpiece.’

Right from childhood, Prem loved to watch his dadaji’s pen glide across the page like a dancer on stage. It was as if his pen were a magic wand, breathing life into letters and making them bloom like fresh flowers.

Prem dreamed of mastering this magic and becoming a calligrapher, just like Dadaji. But when he tried, his
letters turned out wobbly, squiggly, and looked more like caterpillars.

Can Prem learn the language of letters and transform his uncertain lines into a masterpiece?
