Meet girl who has most beautiful handwriting in world, she is not from India, Pakistan, China, Japan, US, UK, UAE, her name is..., she is from...
It all started when Prakriti was just 14 years old and in the eighth grade. One of her class assignments was shared on social media and it didn't take long before the world noticed. Her writing was so precise, evenly spaced, and artistically curved that many believed it was printed by a computer, not written by hand.
Her story quickly went viral. People everywhere were amazed at how perfectly she could write. Experts in handwriting and ordinary internet users alike were stunned by how her simple schoolwork turned into a global inspiration. Her writing looks like fine calligraphy, with each letter so carefully formed that it's hard to believe it came from a regular pen.
But Prakriti's talent goes beyond just good handwriting. She used her gift to write a heartfelt letter congratulating the UAE on their 51st Spirit of the Union celebration. She hand-delivered this letter to the UAE Embassy.

How writer Prajwal Parajuly's nephew's birthday celebrations led to his new book for children
In Karma and Lola, his latest book of fiction, author Prajwal Parajuly goes back to the Himalayas, only this time it's for young readers. After The Gurkha's Daughter (2012) – a collection of short stories offering glimpses into the life of Nepali-speaking communities and Land Where I Flee (2013) – his debut novel focusing on an estranged family of an octogenarian matriarch from Gangtok, Sikkim, 12 years later, Parajuly has ventured into a different genre. Three significant events led to this literary detour. One: he ate cake. Two: he spent six years writing a historical novel, which his family of lawyers strongly advised him to shelve (and he did). And three: a social media post that unexpectedly nudged him into writing. If the arithmetic seems off, Parajuly does not mind clarifying. Speaking after a jog through historic Mayfair in London, he recounted: 'On February 10, 2023, I posted on social media a photo of myself, in a tie too short for me, smiling over an assortment of pastries. 'Nephew turned 11,' the caption read. 'I ate cake. Tie became noose.'' He had just flown into London ten days ago to celebrate his nephew's birthday. 'That meant I had come out of six months of sugar embargo. I tend to deprive myself of sugar for months on end and then go crazy when I finally eat it. The birthday gave me an excuse to eat cake – kilos of it – every day for the next two weeks.' That was why he consented to a date at the Ritz-Carlton. 'I mean it was sugar,' Prajwal said. 'As afternoon teas go, I find nothing more pretentious than the one at the Ritz. There's a dress code. It's a spectacle – with passersby gawking at you while you concentrate on your scone in what is essentially a glorified corridor. It's like you're a monkey in a gilded zoo. But I wasn't going to say no to a date with that much cake. I promised myself that it would be my last bit of sugar consumption for six months. I borrowed a tie from the Ritz reception, donned a jacket too tight for me and asked for seconds of the dill and mint on bread. The date went well. The social media post came from a place of delight. Little did I know what would happen next.' What followed was literary agent Hemali Sodhi – founder of A Suitable Agency – spotting the post and commenting: 'One of the greatest short stories of recent times.' 'Yeah, people keep telling me to write another book,' Prajwal replied. 'Here's one!' She urged him to write a book and let her represent him. Parajuly had just spent six years working on a historical novel based loosely on his home state, Sikkim's merger with India, which would invite every legal battle known to an author. 'At least that's what my parents said. I was heartbroken to have to abandon a 99,000-word project I had given everything to. But I am not an idiot. I value my sleep. I value my family's peace. That might make me a fraudulent writer who places his sanity above his craft, and I am okay with it. But I didn't have it in me to start another adult novel right away. I still don't!' Sodhi offered three suggestions: a travel book, a collection of essays, or a children's book. Parajuly joked: 'There has to be a dog in it.' She agreed. And so was born Karma and Lola, the story of an eight-year-old girl who lives in a whimsical hotel in the Himalayas with her parents and a dog. When the dog goes missing, a cascade of adventures begins and in Parajuly's hands, the Himalayas come into focus. 'I might be flitting between Paris and New York, or London and New York, or, more recently, between Sri City and New York, and all I do is I write about the Himalayas. To this day, I think of the mountains – specifically the eastern Himalayas – as home. I am a mountain man through and through. I am the happiest when hiking up mountains and feel the most productive when I write about mountains.' 'Home' has served as the backdrop for much of Parajuly's work, which spans themes of identity, social hierarchy, class disparity and diasporic alienation. At 26, he became the youngest author to be signed by UK publisher Quercus. His writing has been nominated for the Dylan Thomas Prize and the Mogford Prize in the UK, the Émile Guimet Prize for Asian Literature and the First Novel Prize in France and won the Prix Littéraire Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie Franco-Indienne 2024; he later served as a juror for the Dylan Thomas Prize in 2018 and again in 2024. Personally, Parajuly's writing has been captivating because of its tone, which is at home in any setting and not necessarily in any vernacular context. There's a deftness in words, a lightness of touch honed over time. 'What a remarkable 13 years it has been,' he said. 'I've become a more critical writer in the process. Writing has been tremendously rewarding and tremendously frustrating.' Writing for children has been a shift in gears. 'When you are writing for children, you inhabit this magical, difficult world you forgot existed,' he remarked. 'It's been joyful trying to transmit that into words. I wasn't writing with the aim of getting published. I wasn't writing to work out my writing muscles. I was writing in that lazy, haphazard way you write when you have no desire for anyone to read your work. It's an innocent way of writing, one I like teaching my students to embrace. There's no greater joy than writing for writing's sake. You're unencumbered by writerly pretensions, saleability and marketability.' Famous last words, perhaps – but ones Parajuly may now be happily forced to eat. Before he and Sodhi could even circulate the manuscript in the UK, his French agent, Jérôme Bouchaud, connected them with Cherise Lopes-Baker at Tate Children's – the publishing arm of the Tate Modern. The deal was pre-empted. Tate declared the manuscript a perfect fit, buoyed by illustrations from Ubahang Nembang. In India, HarperCollins has acquired rights; in Nepal, it's Nepalaya, the Nepali-language publisher, for Nepal. Sodhi finds it well-deserving and comments, 'The writing is so lovely. It's a great story. It's highly cinematic. The hotel setting is whimsical. It's the Himalayas. It's so Prajwal. All of which would lend themselves to a perfect illustrated book.' As for Parajuly, he now wants to write a children's book every year! 'It's the most fun I've had as a writer. With Karma and Lola scheduled to be published worldwide in late 2026, I am curious to know how it will be received. If nothing, I can seek comfort in the fact that it will have an assured lifelong presence in the bookstore at the Tate Museum.' And so unfolds the story of Karma and Lola – born of a weary author, several slices of cake, a fortuitous Facebook post, and the enduring pull of the mighty Himalayas.

Johnny Depp unleashes his inner monster in Ridley Scott's 'Hyde' graphic novel series; calls role 'madness and magic'
Hollywood star Johnny Depp is set to sink his teeth into another iconic role - Mr Hyde. The actor is set to bring to life one of literature's most iconic villains through the upcoming graphic novel series titled 'Hyde'. The series, co-produced with legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott and Mechanical Cake, the project, based on Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is scheduled for release on Halloween 2025. Dream Role View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) The project reportedly aims to offer a darker, more psychologically complex take on the the famed saga. The first clip of the series was dropped online featring Depp's likeness in film and illustrated formats. The video was posted online by Depp, who also penned a heartfelt caption that read, 'When I was a boy, I carried a little leather book of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde in my back pocket everywhere I went.' He went on to add, 'To step into the world of Robert Louis Stevenson, to be welcomed into Ridley Scott's vision… and to explore this character — it's madness and magic.' Plot According to Variety, the series will reimagine the classic tale, in which Mr. Hyde has fully overtaken Dr. Jekyll and lives underground in Victorian London, experimenting with a dark serum capable of transforming others into versions of himself. Depp and Scott React In a statement to Variety, Depp described the opportunity as deeply personal rather than purely professional, adding, 'To build within the world of Robert Louis Stevenson's masterful characters… and inexplicably having the opportunity to explore — it's surprising to me. And hopefully, surprising him. It's insane and beautiful to receive that trust from Ridley.' Director Scott also expressed strong support for the concept, stating that upon viewing an early pitch and poster mock-up, Scott responded with, 'It's a no-brainer.' With 'Hyde', Depp marks his return to the horror genre after taking on the role of Sweeney Todd in Tim Burton 's 2007 film.

Tom Lehrer's iconic songs: ‘The Elements', ‘The Masochism Tango' and more gems from satirical genius
Tom Lehrer, the musician and satirist known for his razor-sharp wit and dark humour, has passed away at the age of 97. A Harvard-trained mathematician, Lehrer rose to fame in the 1950s and 1960s with his clever songs that blended comedy with biting political and social commentary. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His unique style influenced generations of comedians. Lehrer's passing was confirmed by his friend David Herder to the New York Times. With his brilliant mix of intellect and irreverence, he left a lasting mark on the world of music and satire. Tom Lehrer's iconic songs 'The Elements': This clever tune lists all the chemical elements, set to the melody of Gilbert and Sullivan's 'I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General'. It became a hit among science buffs and comedy fans alike. ' The Masochism Tango ': In this fiery number, Lehrer mixes romance and pain, dancing through twisted desires with lyrics like, 'I ache for the touch of your lips, dear / But much more for the touch of your whips, dear…' 'I Hold Your Hand in Mine': Possibly his darkest love song, this ballad tells the creepy tale of a man holding onto his lover's severed hand, both literally and lovingly. 'I Got It From Agnes': With brilliant wordplay, Lehrer traces the spread of a venereal disease through a social circle, keeping the tone cheeky rather than crude. 'Poisoning Pigeons in the Park': Spring in the city turns deadly in this comical song about lacing bird food with cyanide. It's disturbingly delightful. 'It Makes a Fellow Proud to Be a Soldier': This marching tune pokes fun at army life and military clichés, gently teasing everything from training routines to uniform pride. 'The Vatican Rag': A bouncy ragtime tune that mocks Catholic traditions with lines urging worshippers to 'genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!' 'Fight Fiercely, Harvard': Lehrer lovingly ridicules Ivy League manners, imagining a football game where players encourage each other with refined politeness. 'The Old Dope Peddler': Told with a wink, this tune follows a local drug dealer who's 'giving the kids free samples' in the hopes of creating lifelong customers. 'Bright College Days': Looking back at university life, Lehrer gives the usual nostalgic college song a twist filled with sarcasm and schoolboy humour. 'Lobachevsky': In this faux-Russian piece, Lehrer praises plagiarism in academia. The key lesson? 'Plagiarise! Plagiarise! Let no one else's work evade your eyes!' 'My Home Town': What starts like a sentimental tribute to small-town life quickly turns into a list of shady characters and back-alley dealings. 'We Will All Go Together When We Go': A cheerful take on nuclear apocalypse, this crowd-pleaser reminds us that at least we'll all be fried together. 'Be Prepared': A twisted version of the Boy Scout motto, the song offers dodgy advice under the guise of helpful readiness. 'The Wild West Is Where I Want to Be': This one celebrates the American West with humour, radioactivity, and military-industrial references. 'I Wanna Go Back to Dixie': Lehrer mocks Southern nostalgia by highlighting the region's history of racism and inequality through upbeat melody and biting irony. 'The Irish Ballad': Don't be fooled by the folky sound. This grim tale tells of a girl committing murder after murder in the sweetest voice imaginable. 'The Hunting Song': A gentle tune disguises the chaos of a hunting trip that goes hilariously and violently wrong. 'When You Are Old and Gray': Romance fades fast in this brutally honest love song, where the singer says his affection will end as soon as his partner's beauty does. 'The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz': Here, food and romance mix in a whimsical tale of love, lust, and Austrian cuisine. 'A Christmas Carol': Christmas commercialism is the real target in this song, with the melody hiding a critique of holiday consumerism. 'Oedipus Rex': Lehrer gives the classic Greek tragedy a cheeky twist, adding mother jokes and academic flair to a bizarrely chipper tune. 'In Old Mexico': An unlucky traveller visits Mexico and finds misfortune at every turn, all told with exaggerated characters and satirical flair. 'Clementine': This parody of the classic folk song takes listeners through increasingly ridiculous musical styles, from operatic to cowboy country. 'She's My Girl': Love and hate collide in this tune, where the singer complains bitterly about his partner, but still insists he's in love. Free music for the world In a rare and generous move, Tom Lehrer announced in 2020 that he had given away all rights to his songs. He placed them into the public domain, meaning anyone could use, perform, record, or rewrite them freely. He even gave up the rights to his own recordings. 'In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs. So help yourselves, and don't send me any money,' he wrote on his website. He also warned that the website would be 'shut down at some date in the not too distant future' although it was still live at the time of his passing
