Small step for a man…
So, I decided to get over my fear of being underwater. I can swim a little – but it is mostly thrashing around for about 25 yards or so. I have never taken lessons in swimming – so have no clue in the techniques in breathing or keeping myself afloat. Moreover, due to my acute claustrophobia, I panic underwater and just want to stand up.
But it is time, I reckon, to get over my fear of getting in the swimming pool.
As a first bold step, I drained the pool. And then got in. It was remarkably easier that way!!

This is what I collected this year…
Four standard nib fountain pens and three glass nib pens. My total is now around 85 standard nib pens and 8 glass nib pens. The rightmost pen is unique in that it is an “eyedropper” fountain pen. Which means, it does not have an ink filling mechanism (like cartridge or ink piston). Like we used to do in India, you just pour the ink directly into the barrel (main body of the pen).

This is a simple cocktail with Vodka, Orange Curacao and Green Chartreuse. Ideally, I would garnish by squeezing an orange peel over the drink and then floating it in the drink. But, I could not find any orange in our refrigerator.
The nose is full of the Chartreuse aroma and the palate is decidedly citrusy from the orange.
