Today I had a gift of a Parker pen-a commemoration gift from the company.This writing instrument may seem archaic to Generation Y and Z with their tablets and I Pad and such gizmos but to me it represents the excellence of well crafted writing instruments of a bygone era.With even language condensed to emoticons and acroynmsLOL ,the beauty of handwriting is encapsulated in writing by using this pen.
When we were young,we used those messy fountain pens in which we dipped our nibs in ink pots.How messy it was so that when we performed well in exams,the ultimate gift was the Parker pen-a ball point pen that glides over the pristine sheet without smudges and blots.
