Pen is the most
important thing which a literate person possess. It is the device which makes
possible to note down our thoughts in a piece of paper. The earliest pen were
quills, ink brush, etc. The end was generally sharp modification to those
wooden pieces or the feathers, which had to be dipped in ink and then written
on paper.
Pen is a very powerful
device. A signature made on a sheath of documents can rob a country! It is a
very important possession for those who are associated with any kind of paperwork.
A journalist can shake the ground beneath the foot of some politician or any
such authority about which he has written something on the editorial. A poet’s
or a writer’s world of imagination is expressed in paper for the world to know.
Their vivid thoughts and garland of words are ready for everyone else to see
only when it is in written form. A doctor uses it to prescribe medicines. All
people have different purposes of using pen.
One cannot do
everything verbally. Some purposes needs records and it is convenient to
express on paper. Before electronic devices such as printer or anything else,
it was only pen which used to be employed for writing. So many Scriptures,
manuscripts, etc were not printed. But they were written centuries ago only by
those limited resources available then. And how important they are now!
Earlier people used to
send letters to each other in order to stay connected. Obviously the
handwritten letters for which one used to be waiting for longer period as
compared to today, used to mean more. The feelings seem alive in those letters.
Pen is a student’s best
friend. It is everything that a student need in order to write what he knows in
exam. And this takes them far in life when used properly.
Well now there are lots
of pen available. It fits every pocket. Modern pen generally have a replaceable
refill with a metal nib. Ink pens are also developed now. The costs might be as
low as 2 rupees to luxury pens costing crores. The purpose is however same. So
it can be well understood how powerful it is. It is rightly said. A pen is
mightier than sword.
