Thank you for this wonderful tutorial on Kasuthi- I have been wanting to learn the technique for quite sometime- this is the best tutorial I have come across so far! May I make a suggestion- can you provide the lessons in a pdf form that can be downloaded ? (maybe for a small fee??). This way, it becomes easy for reference.
Thanks
Thank you for the compliment mam. That has always been my dream. But I was put off because people started copy/pasting my stuff to their websites and claiming it as their own. That's why I lost the motivation to do this. Now I am thinking of offering courses on Udemy. In the works
