I have the habit of writing with fountain by giving pressure. Not only fountain pen but also any writing instrument. Will you recommend me any fountain pen with not so heavy body and no so light body.

I visited this shop and the place itself carrying the vintage in its worn out body. But their collection is awesome. Thank you for this well written article. Hope more pen fans will visit this destination due to this piece.

Gems are always hidden and true connoisseurs will go in search of it. Kudos to you to have brought them to light. I hope the fountain pen lovers of Kolkata, and all over India and elsewhere will visit them and experience them whenever they are in Kolkata. I would like to certainly do my best when I visit Kolkata next.
I am remind of a parable:
In the city of Bagdad lived Hakeem, the wise one, and many people went to him for counsel, 
which he gave freely to all, asking nothing in return.
There came to him a young man who had spent much but got little, and said: 
“Tell me , wise one, what shall I do to receive the most for that which I spend ?”
Hakeem answered, “A thing that is bought or sold has no value unless it contains that which cannot be bought or sold, Look for the Priceless Ingredient”.
“But what is this Priceless Ingredient ?” asked the young man.

Spoke then the wise one : 
“My son, the priceless ingredient of every product or service in the market-place is the Honour and Integrity of him who makes or provides it. Consider his name before you buy”.

From what I read I think Pen Hospital has the priceless ingredient!
