Another well-executed article by you. very few Indian pen sites offer in Indian INR, which is sad indeed as they target only customers outside the country, we get confused while calculating and flush out a well amount of money for acquiring it. Every other country targets their countrymen first then to there abroad customers. here the scenario is different and sadly will they ever listen?

Dear Chawm,
What a timely article to remind most of our local pen manufacturers, that they are living in a fools paradise”Clearly missing the wood for the trees”. I too endorse the beauty of TWSBI , its build quality and smooth flow of ink with a fine nib and unbelievably priced. . I am unable to find an Indian counterpart who can match TWSBI from scratch to finish and beyond.
I am reminded of a quote by former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew who was addressing a Global summit about three decades ago and said nothing about India, The great Nani Phalkivala prompted Lee to say a few words about India. Lee requested the journalists to put down the pens, switch off recorders and shut the video cameras and he said “India is a sleeping Giant, we in the east and west have been carefully watching her, I have also been watching your Ramayana series and like the character called “KUMBAKARANA” in Ramayana. We hope she continues to sleep like him, because if she wakes up from the deep slumber, we in the east and west will not know what to do”. I think most of our Indian pen Industries at least have been efficiently working hard to keep proving Lee Kuan Yew right for decades!
I don’t know when and what will wake them up from apathy and self-defeating attitudes to stop working effectively towards extinction!
The only silver lining being Vasani’s Pen Gallery whose service matched international quality by sending the pen properly packed and delivered within 24 hours of the order by Fedex. My appreciations to Mr. Ritesh Vasani to continue his good service.
