Chetna K Morkhade holds a very elaborate calligraphy pen (an oblique pen and nib, we’re informed) a few inches above the paper and twirls it in the air a couple of times before bringing it down to gently make contact with the paper and deftly, in elegant flourishes, produces the most wonderfully shaped letters we have ever seen on paper.

The 32-year-old has a Masters degree in Commerce, but was always more inclined towards art. This led her to a course in Graphic Designing almost immediately after graduation more than a decade ago and after dabbling a bit in that discipline, she found her way to the art of decorative lettering.
