Today I bought myself an Ink Pen
Today I bought myself an Ink Pen. ‘Hero Fountain Pen’ was the pen I last used in school. I remember the slim capsule-like shape, with the body in colours like dark blue, black, maroon and green and a common golden cap for all. It made its slight weight felt when held. The joy was buying…

How ‘Host My Blog’ helped a tech-challenged Blogger graduate to a self-hosted Blog
I am Tech-challenged. By that, I mean anything more than hitting the Send button and using Copy-Paste sends me into a tizzy. No, truly. And yes, when I learned to download and play games on my mobile, I felt like I had graduated from MIT. Yes, THAT tech challenged. Now that you’ve got the picture,…
