Wow! This is one puzzle that would keep me busy for quite a while. Love the colors- they’re as vibrant as the language itself.

Because Gurmukhi phonetic once you learn the symbols and related sounds it just takes practice to perfect.

The snow plant comes out just after the snow melts in the mountains and doesn’t last long. You have to be there at the right time.

What a fun way to learn the alphabet. I’ve never been great with languages other than my native one but my daughter has a facility for languages, including ones where she has had to learn a new alphabet.

(30) Sukhmandir Kaur says:

Gattina Our first computer (about 25 yrs ago) was an Apple with about 12 megs of memory (remember those days) I spent two weeks configuring Gurmukhi letters pixel by pixel for a majhong match up game I found on line which let your design your own faces. My Kids friends came over and without asking or telling me erased it to make more memory available. I mourn still :)

(32) Snowcatcher says:

I, too, love the vibrant colors, but sadly, I don’t recognize any of the characters at all. They look like artwork to me! It was fun to see the progress of the puzzle being put together, though. I’ll bet your granddaugher (is that right?) is going to LOVE that when she gets a little older.
