Good Afternoon, Namaste, Sat Shree Aakaal, Salam Friends, This is Tushar. I hail from the city of Delhi, India. I'm a pen lover. Specially fountain pens. During the childhood days I used to live at Nai Sarak and there I purchased so many fountain pens of all shapes, sizes, materials, ink systems etc. from a small shop near my house. That time they used to be so cheap and inexpensive. But, not even in my dreams I have ever gave it a thought to receive so much technical information regarding FP's. Their costs have sky rocketed and there have been a drastic fall in their usage which really saddens me. The day I browsed this forum and created my account my perspective towards fountain pens have changed entirely. I have started thinking differently and my attitude towards my pens have totally renewed. I've started loving them even more. Thanks to all the senior members of the community for sharing such valuable information. I will surely like to do the reviews of my pens and share it with all of you. Thanks again for everything. Good Day! Cheers!

Hi everyone- I am back to collecting fountain pens and writing letters too. I collected about 25 years ago and am seriously interested again, I like a big pen with some weight to it and enjoy fine quality and I love all the new inks I now have as well. I live in NYC with my spuse of 35 years and my awesome PUGS! I would love to correspond with a pal and welcome you reaching out to me to exchange information. You can email me at ronnie@penswithink.com Thanks and looking forward, Ronnie
