Pakistan Childhood- invaluable memories of passing moments

How many of you familiar with this weapon of choice in classrooms.

There was a nasty version of this with twisted U shaped wire at the end instead of paper.

How many pain I had to go through for Eid in childhood . What do the people of the new age know ?


Gudgudi b hoti thi sur agir ya thek ni hoti thi to ball b nochti thi yad hai kisi ko............

بچپن مے والد جس حجام کے پاس لے کے جاتے تھے وہ سر پکڑ کے اسے حجامت کرتا تھا جسے دوبارا اس کو موقا نہیں ملے گا اور ہمارے آنسو گرتے تھے رہتے تھے حجامت کے درمیان

HAMAREY SCHOOL KI BEHTREEN YAAD,HAMAREY ZAMANEY KAY FOUNTAIN PEN.

Who can forget how excited we were when we learnt that from now onwards we will be using ink pens and not pencils like little kids in school, I think some started in 5th and some had to wait another year to get into that transaction !

There was no measurement of the pride we were filled in with at the prospect of No more pencils and that we were actually going to get our very own pen !! That was huge!

What was your first pen way back than..?

I remember my dad brought me a pen called “DOLLAR fountain pen” as for my startering pen there was another similar one called EAGLE which was another popular brand

These pens came in four colors, red green blue and black. I had the privilege to buy all four colors at different intervals ..

Filling these pens with ink was a two step process we had to twist open the back cap and dip the nib in the ink pot and slowly rotate the back side to let the ink suck in ,we could clearly see the tiny tank slowly getting filled in.. There was this weird sense of happiness mixed with satisfaction to see our pen get all filled up !!

Some kids were lucky to get a PARKER or a SHEAFFER or a HERO and God knows I don’t even remember the brands now, WING SUNG was another hot favorite brand that was popular than, I remember how I wished I would get those fancy ones too but I didn’t get mine till after two years

Remember how our hands and fingers would get all blue and black while filling our pens..besides if the pen would crack from near the nib by falling too many times on the floor bus jee phir tu poocho mutt.. uniform ki khair nahi aur ghar jakey ...hamari khair nahi !!

Dollar ink was the most popular ink brand used by school /college students than, It was available in black red and blue colors .. later on in higher grades levels we were allowed to use red ink to underline or write headings which was again another landmark for us as a part of growing up !!

They were absolutely terrible lol, but at least it was the cheapest option- around 10pkr per pen afair when I was a kid (I am still relatively young, so I hope the price hasn't changed too much)
I wished they had just allowed people to use a ballpoint instead.
