Penmanship 4 years ago

I have always written cursive (in Indian schools in the 70's, teachers yelled at you if you wrote block), and with a fountain pen, no less. One of my English teachers threw away my favorite ballpoint pen and gave me her fountain pen to write notes that day in school. My grandfather, who was a school teacher, insisted that we write copy of at least 1 page everyday in a 4-line ruled handwriting practice notebook.

I still write all my notes in cursive with a fountain pen. According to graphology, handwriting is brain-writing and improves as you write more.

We had an English teacher who used to chide us for writing with anything other than a pencil till the 5th standard, and after that, would insist that we write with ONLY fountain pens.

Chelpark Turquoise and Bril Royal blue were my favorites too. They both looked brilliant on paper!
