Recently I resurrected a fountain pen that came as a gift long back. Under the onslaught of speed and convenience fountain pens came close to getting extinct. Resuming some writing with the ink-pen (as the fountain pen is called), I noticed that legible writing with one is much more arduous than doing so with a ball point pen. This led my thoughts astray for a while and a hitherto unthought-of landscape unfolded in my mind-space.
