I discovered a Punjabi organization that offers free, online Shahmukhi AND Gurmukhi courses for both native Punjabi-speakers and English-speakers!

The organization is Jeevay Sanjha Punjab founded by Purva Masaud, see the following link for further details and to enroll: https://jeevaysanjhapunjab.com/learn-gurmukhi-shahmukhi/

I enrolled in the English to Gurmukhi class.

They offer two paths:

Learn Gurmukhi from Shahmukhi path is for Punjabi speakers in West Punjab (Pakistan) who already know Shahmukhi.
Learn Gurmukhi from English is for the diaspora who prefer learning Gurmukhi using English as the base.

Their structured curriculum is designed to take a beginner to functional literacy in 5 to 8 weeks. This includes mastering the 35 primary letters (Painti Akhri), vowel markers (Laga Matra), and conjunct symbols.

Hidden, forgotten, and obscure libraries in Punjab?

I remember someone posting on social-media about a hidden and old library in Punjab, India that had a ton of cool and rare books. Can't find that post now... Does anyone know what library I'm thinking of? It was super dusty due to not having a lot of visitors, unfortunately. But I think Punjab has a lot of small-scale or local libraries like this that have a treasure-trove of a collection within their walls. Please share some libraries in Punjab you know about, both big or small, public or private, especially lesser-known ones. I would love to re-discover the library I'm thinking of and learn about others. You never know what literary treasures they hold, gathering dust on a shelf waiting to be picked-up by a curious reader...
