OUR STORY
10 years. Countless letters and postcards.
College roomies Shivani and Harnehmat shared a common love for handwritten letters. Their tuck was always accompanied by letters from home and lead to handwritten replies. When the visits to the local Post Office frequented and stamp collections flourished, one fine day they decided to inspire people to write postcards and actually post them from their alma mater!
October 2013, National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, both friends put their passion to good use – and set up a small stall for postcard writing to celebrate World Post Day! The turnout was magical and the rest is history!
OUR VISION
Let’s find a moment to pause, smile and write!
