In this episode I translate the sentences from one of our Urdu handwriting lessons. Did you know that Arsalan sahab and I have created an Urdu Handwriting course? Check it out HERE. The sentences in this episode are more advanced, but if you are interested in learning how to write Urdu from the beginning check out lesson number 1. Be sure to come back to this page as I will also post the video of me writing out all the sentences by hand. Be sure to subscribe to the YouTube channel so you get notified of when it's published. 

I wanted to go over Seth Godin's blog once more - it was initially covered in episode #26. The words spark excitement in me for when I am thinking about starting something new. Even though Urdu Seekhiye is now an old project, writing and publishing each new episode really does feel like a new project and the potential of it reaching new audience members (and old ones) excites me. Feel free to help with this endeavor. Be sure to download the PDF for the full episode at www.urduseekhiye.com/E26! nayā sāl mubārak ho!!

• This is their book.       (yih kitāb in kī hai)

This episode was such a joy to produce, and a long time coming. In this episode Mansoor and I translate Seth Godin's blog post titled Beginning is Underrated. This post inspired me to start the Urdu Seekhiye podcast, so it means a lot. I hope that it inspires you to begin something that you may have been putting off, or restart something that you gave up on.

"Merely begin, with the humility of someone who’s not sure, and the excitement of someone who knows that it’s possible."
