Mechanical pencil is my everyday writing instrument, and I have been using Hauser Super Dark 0.7 mm clutch pencils for scribbling notes or preparing first drafts. I...

offimart.com. Being a mechanical pencil enthusiast, I keep on looking for a variety of pencil leads that are available and affordable here in India. Imported leads like those of Pentel’s although now available through amazon.in, are expensive. For writing, I prefer 0.7 and 0.9 mm B or 2B grade leads while for sketching I use HB, B and 2B grades.

Being a man of austere habits (read a miser), I do not want to spend a fortune on the pens, inks, refills or paper I use. Now, good writing paper is expensive and, as a professional translator, I do write a lot. The most inexpensive paper is newsprint or paper of similar quality. Who can think of writing with a fountain pen on such cheap...

The other day, while searching for fountain pen inks at amazon.in, I came upon Daytone fountain pen inks manufactured by The Daylight Industries of Indore. I discovered that the company is producing fountain pen inks of fifteen different shades and one could order a box containing 60 ml bottles of each of the different colours. I checked the colours and felt I may not use all the different colours, certainly not for writing. I ordered a litre...
