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:
- Ball Point Pen
- Permanent Marker (to write on CDs)
- Pencil
- Lead box for pencil
- Eraser
- Scale
- China Scissors
- Stapler
- Staples
- Mini Fevi Stick
- Highlighter and
- 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 pens
(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…
