… or for that matter, any fountain pen shop!!

I remember making friends with Karan Dhir in the William Penn store in Terminal 1 in Mumbai airport a few years back. The gentleman clearly was one of the rare people in today’s world who understand fountain pens. I remember buying one that day and then he presented me another!

Today, while in Terminal 2, I saw another William Penn store. I was hoping to see Karan there. Unfortunately, he is still in Terminal 1 (and in Mumbai, there is no easy way to go from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1). I did make friends with Kiran here and landed up picking three fountain pens.

Loved the coffee color pen. Goes with my fondness for everything coffee lately. Also, got my first Sailor pen. I was a bit worried about the Medium tip nib till Karan pointed out that it is a Japanese company. Japanese pens tend to be half to a full point thinner in nib edge for the same classification (of nib edges) and I love the tactile feedback of fine tips.

Can’t wait to go home, put some ink and start writing with these!
