Get it back.......


It feels so good to pen down your feelings on paper. I could go back to school or college days. The machines were not part of my life then. And writing used to comprise of a lot of verity of pens, colorful inks, pencils, eraser etc. With sharpener I wanted to cut my pencil to the end. Also used blades sometimes... in school we used to fear each other with blades.... then keeping the output of carve pencil in compass box. The verity of compass box... there used to be fight for same box.. which we sometimes get as birthday return gifts.

As it was told ink pen makes your handwriting beautiful we were trying hard to get on with it. Filling up ink into ink pen was like task of a master. We used to have race as who fills it full and first... and who do not spill it :-P ball point pens were said to be bad for handwriting but at the end for maths it used to work perfect. Pens were mst used for pen fights during lectures.... there was so much anxiety to check out new pen of a friend. Erasers... its was in so many shapes, colors and fragrances.. i had collection of it. Sometimes they used to be so cute that I never felt like erasing with those. The clean white colored. We used to rub it more to keep it clean :0 From steel sharpener to plastic.. Some with brush to clean and swipe curtails. We used to take out blades of broken sharpener..

While working on computers I badly miss the diary, my lucky exam pen and sending letters to friends. It was so much fun. We used to wait for the answers... though we live a meter away. Sending greeting cards for diwali, birthday or X'mas.

Writing assignments, projects were so boring then. There was unknown competition for god handwriting... and now its all gone... everyone has good handwriting, everything is neat, well presented, there is no spelling mistake... we are losing human touch :(

Sketch pens... it was like the best thing in life. The color pallets, pencils, water colors, pastels and n number of color wax chalks. We used to have dozens of each color but it was difficult to find 'White' or 'pure Purple' and that's why we needed new once :D I was never a good painter but all this stuff was so near to heart I couldn't throw anything of this away.

Writing, coloring, solving puzzles... OMG I am missing so many things. There was time when life was only this :) gosh... lets do it again.. start it again and live it again !
