I relished the article, because that article is not with me any more. Balaappam, then Pencil; then my father gave me sheaffer pen with an Iris ink bottle. And filling with ink without the ink-filler, was a comedy. Ink all over the fingers and a white cloth to clean it. Thereafter as prize I received few pens. But as an officer, a company by name Pilot pen co was assessed by me which office was in Royapettah, which is now Pilot theatre. They were licence holder for the manufacture of pilot pen of Japan. And as compliment a small pack of pen set was received for the new year. Ofcourse signing with the Green ink was done through Pens. Then Ball point pens arrived. And You will be surprised. I bought a watch Ricoh from Japan; and after 2 days, it stopped working; so I wrote a letter and an email when we had only slow speed computer. They were very polite and sent me a reply, profusely apologising; and requested me to await a parcel; after 15 or 20days, I received a parcel which contained, a new watch; the hard copy of that apology letter; and behold as compliment, a pilot original Pen and Ball point pen Gold color. They requested ,IF POSSIBLE, to send back the damaged watch, as TO PAY. I sent them from Mt Road P O fully paid. Great memories. But now all by laptop and HP printer, A4 sheets and signing only by ball point pen. KR IRS 10124
