Ink Pen woes...
Ever since Harshil graduated to an ink pen, the messiness is not confined to his study table. He ruthlessly spills ink all over the apartment. Venky keeps telling him, Buddy! You need to understand that “Expensive pens cannot improve your handwriting”. With the stationery I spent on kids, I would have got a good piece of gold jewellery (this is no piece of exaggeration). He broke my Dad’s old Hero fountain pen that he treasured from years. Though I personally love fountain pens, I consider gel pens as a boon (less messy -no flooding and blotting) and lighter on the wallet) but after trying Trimax, Trimax Gold, Classmate, Racer Gel, he got back to fountain pen. His class teacher recommends Link Ocean Gel (6Rs pen) but it turned to be a pen these guys heavily look down on. Every morning there is this ritual of filling ink, I yell at him to revise his lessons instead of wasting time but he pays no heed (I am not a pushy mother and he studies at his own pace). I really wonder how he can be so cool—like any other day during the exam time. Of late, he settled for a grippy Reynolds fountain pen. How long he sticks to this brand is a question mark? After all he is in class V, going to class VI. A long way to go........
