Flush with Energy

I think everybody should read this nice piece by Thomas Friedman, author of "The World is Flat". Replace America with any other country and the article still holds good...! read here... http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/10/opinion/10friedman1.html?_r=1&em&oref=slogin

Fountain Pen

15th July, 2008 | 21:30 Fountain Pen What is the correct angle to hold a fountain pen? Can one ever predict such a thing or should it be left to individual preference and comfort? Can one be trained to improve one’s handwriting and if so, are we saying that by doing so, we can change a person’s personality, considering that handwriting reading is a “science”? If different handwriting styles mean different people, does it mean that if one practices using one of the numerous practice books available and is successful in improving/altering one’s handwriting, then the person will also change? More specifically, does it mean that one will become more like the author of the practice book, since it is his/her handwriting that one is copying...? p.s. I wrote this in the process of trying out a beautiful new Waterman fountain pen that a couple of my dear friends gifted to me...thanks guys...I really miss you terribly...
