My interview on CBC Tapestry
« on: September 14, 2018, 12:45:39 PM »
I was interviewed by CBC for their show Tapestry some time ago. The topic is calligraphy and spirituality. The program aired on the 2nd of September. I figured it might be of interest to people here.They also made a short video.
 
You can see the video and hear the program here: CBC Tapestry

The image below is a screenshot from the video.

Thank you Andrew. I was introduced to the producer of the show by a mutual friend in the fountain pen community.

Wow,Salman!
That was a great interview, and you did a superb job. Wonderful to hear your background stories, and imagine you as a young man growing up in Pakistan. This was a real treat. I'm so glad you shared it! I couldn't see the video, but was able to listen to it. Marvelous!
