You have to meet a graphologist,” my editor proclaimed as she stormed into my cubicle while I gnawed on a raw tomato.u00a0“I am sorry, chief, but I have always been bad at maths. I only passed thanks to extra marks given for neat handwriting. Can’t you find someone else?”u00a0“Well, then, you are perfect for the story.” A graphologist, as it turned out, was someone who studied handwriting.u00a0A few days later, I meet Dr Parag Khatri, founder of The World School of Graphology, in Andheri. I was looking forward to a school the size of a football field. As it turned out, it didn’t require more space than the size of a clinic.
