Gama... not Gamma

so, i was trying hard to finish a letter to my sister.
ending 2015 with a letter that took me 4 days to write.
and i was also trying to finish the diamine blue lightning shimmering ink in my twsbi.
it's time for another pen to come into rotation.

whilst all this was going on...i bought myself a gama.
a gama fountain pen from an indian seller online.

what's the connection with the letter and ink that made me buy a pen online?
i don't know.
maybe because it just took forever to finish the letter and ink.
after all, i got myself the gama model "forever"...

corny? yes.
satisfied. immensely. :)

i think so...

after a hiatus of about 5 years, the fountain pen obsession is back.
and i think, it's worse than before.
it's like the beast is trying to make up for loss time...
the damage?
umm...about 12 new fountain pens and numerous, numerous inks in a span of less than 4 months.

and now it has turned its attention to indian made fountain pens - the ranga, gama and asa brands. it has taken down 2 already and aiming for another.

i need a superhero to save me.
ultraman maybe?
or the one punch man, the non-hero, hero (some crazy hilarious anime my kids made me watch which i am now hooked on). Check out the review here.
