Fountain Pens

This is crazy!

I bought a fountain pen today and instead of scribbling my diary with the new pen, I am blogging online :)

Yeh! Fountain pens are an integral part of my personality. Now a days it has become difficult to find a good ink pen.

Last month I decided to create a small stationery kit for myself. I wanted to buy a pencil box with steps inside. I went out looking for the same.

I could not find any in Vijayanagar. I went to Bhashyam Circle, Rajajinagar. There I found a box with a complete staircase inside it… :) I wanted just one or two steps to organize the stationery.

I decided to go to Sudarshan stores (near 11th cross malleswaram). There I found a blue pencil box with a sticker of Bob The Builder… I loved it. The box made me nostalgic.

I purchsed the box along with following:Mini Stationery Kir

  1. Ball Point Pen
  2. Permanent Marker (to write on CDs)
  3. Pencil
  4. Lead box for pencil
  5. Eraser
  6. Scale
  7. China Scissors
  8. Stapler
  9. Staples
  10. Mini Fevi Stick
  11. Highlighter and
  12. Cutter

My box for a complete mini stationery shop :)
I also bought a hero pen… and happily returned home. Now I carry my stationery set wherever I go

Last week I lost the hero pen. I keep losing pens quite often :(

So I had to visit different shops in search of the pen I like. I usually buy Camel pensSheaffer 340FP (maroon camel cute is my favourite). I asked my colleague Srinivas Prasad to help me out with a shop which sells good fountain pens. He took me to William Penn ( http://williampenn.net ) and I was sold to Sheaffer.

I loved Sheaffer 340FP for its elegance, weight and beauty. Today I bought the pen and Skrip ink and thereby upgraded my stationery collection :)

I should never lose this pen…
