Monday morning we filled the ink wells and on Friday afternoon we washed them out so that they didn’t get encrusted with dry ink .

How we used to wipe away the ink on our head and invariably drop it here and there... and the stains!! Your post reminds me that I have not seen an ink bottle for so long now. My son has never used an ink pen, it's only gel pens for him. <br /><a href="https://shilpaagarg.com/" rel="nofollow"> Shilpa Garg #AtoZChallenge</a><br />Shilpa Garghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016927627801620377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697853036719917734.post-68458124661162377072018-04-10T11:53:31.912+05:302018-04-10T11:53:31.912+05:30Hi Archana.

Royal Blue was our choice of ink shade too.<br />I have a Pilot liquid ink pen sitting next to me right now. I love how words flow on the page when I write with it. There are people (one or two I know) who only write with fountain pens.<br />I'm a bit lazy and pick anything that has ink to write with, usually:)<br />https://artismoments.blogspot.qa/2018/04/i-is-for-ishq-atozchallenge.htmlArtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455186909681790185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697853036719917734.post-4358581400033847882018-04-10T11:31:36.853+05:302018-04-10T11:31:36.853+05:30Such a nostalgic post Archana.

It was my prized possession. My handwriting now is a poor reflection of what it used to be. Fountain pens made it better, do you think? or was it patience?

I'm grateful to have had the option of using ball point pens all of my life for school and work. Such a blessing and convenience!
