In the words of Hardik, owner of the brand
Fountain pen was invented in 1636, with combination of wonderful reservoir of ink and a metal nib. On the day, world of writing was changed forever. Fountain pen is still a choice of those who prefer a more traditional, elegant and beautiful method of writing. When it comes to record the most important and beautiful moments of life, or turning words into poetry, only this pen rocks the world. In the honor of this invention, first Friday of November is celebrated as “The Fountain Pen Day”. This is the day to gift yourself and your loved ones with a lovely fountain pen.

4. “ASA LE” made by V-sign, inspired by Chelpark Moti.
A really true value for money and a bit of nostalgia for FP lovers of India ..as described by Subramanium Laxminarayan, owner of brand ASA
This fountain pen day, I am introducing a pen inspired by the legendary Chelpark Moti (Pearl)
In the late 1980’s, there were a gamut of beautiful models of fountain pens, in India, each claiming a place in the heart of user. One of the most Iconic model (Also most elusive and rare) was the Chelpark Moti. A product of Chelpark, but made by Beena Pens Mumbai.
The Chelpark Moti was an ideal piston filler. It had ergonomic contours and a smooth nib. All these features came with a value for money pricing. It was presented in a box as a set often coupled with a ball point pen.
No wonder the Chelaprk Moti was a true pearl.
Nostalgic memories of pen drove me to often approach Beena/V-sign the actual OEM to recreate this model. It was recently that my request was heard and we decided to go ahead and remake the inspired version of this pen, “The ASA LE”
Presenting the “ASA LE” made by V-sign, inspired by Chelpark Moti. (in comparison with a VSing pen)
The “ASA LE” is a store exclusive.
The “ASA LE” is a piston filler. The pen uses a sturdy, long lasting piston filler. The ergonomic design makes writing fun and joyous.
Salient Features :-
· Sturdy Piston, low maintenance
· VintageTapered Nib (F-M Point).
· Satin Finish Cap
· Exquisite Gun Metal Finished Clip
· 2 brilliant colours (Classic Black and Vintage Blue)
All these at an attractive price of Rs.250/- + shipping (Free Shipping Pan India)

5. LOTUS ORNAMENT by Arun Singhi..
I always term his workmanship as one of the best in Indian FP. His message to FPL community on FP day is as following:-
Happy Fountain Pen Day..
A man who hasn’t written with a fountain pen, knows not the joy of writing!
A fountain pen is a treasure, like a piece of precious jewellery. Starting from cheap ones that cost a few dollars to ones that can cost a million, there is something out there for everyone. Wooden, metal, plastic, ebonite, glass, gold-nibbed, diamond-encrusted; you name it and will have it!
Today, on fountain pen day, let’s pay an ode to the King of writing instruments, the fountain pen.

For those special occasions, or just when you are feeling special, add some glitter, get on the shine, a bit of sparkle and nothing will seem ordinary anymore.For that ‘not-so-ordinary’ writing, go for the pen with the bling- Lotus Ornament.
