Why Fountain Pens Remain Relevant
With everything now typed and printed, fountain pens add character to the written word. They provide personality, intent, and durability. It’s not just practical to write with a fountain pen — it’s emotional, nostalgic, and creative.
Pen Utsav is not just an event. It’s a revolution of the pens — a subdued, refined rebellion against information overload. And Kolkata, that city of old soul, is where it should begin.
