Pen-sive Disorder

Hi Readers,

Throughtout my lived life, I have been requested for a pen, many a times! At places, like railway reservation counter, banks, college classrooms, examination halls, offices; by acquaintances and strangers alike. In these situations the status and importance of the Pen was just as that of a sword in the battlefield. Oh yes, "Pen is mightier than a sword". Yes, it is!

The urge to suddenly note down something important as a phone number, an address or a name if not quenched, disturbs the body and unsatisfies the soul. And then if it is magnified by the non-availability of a puny pen at your service then there is nothing greater evil than that.

What amuses more is that the mightier than the Sword, Pen, loses all its importance and usefulness in the requester's hands when all the matters to be noted are noted down and all the application forms have been duly filled. The Pen as an object obliterates from the requester's mind in such a way that the thought of respectfully returning the Pen to the Original Owner completely slips off the mind.

Such is the world and its affairs, alas Pen, you will always have the importance in the hands of a true soul, just as Thor had for its Hammer.

Take care, My Pen, with whomsoeever you are with now. May your ink never dries out!

SNAP: The Inky Pen wins over the HB Pencil

Hi,

SNAP is of course a different and an unique exam for MBA Entrance, whether it may be the 2 Marks questions or the emphasis on logical reasoning or the General Awareness section. But one of the most intriguing fact is that the examinee has to mark the answers with a Pen on the OMR answer sheet, leaving no way out if the answer marked was wrong and was discovered at a later stage!

I cannot understand the logic behind the advantage of marking the answers with a Pen instead of a Pencil!!
I have some guesses:
1. Less luggage, more comfort! (Without pencil, no need for Erasure and sharpener)
2. Leave one’s mark in the history of SNAP forever!
3. Pen is mightier than the sword! Snap the SNAP with a Pen and win the Battle!
4. A Pen in need is a Pen indeed.
5. More Mileage, less maintenance!

Just being Jocular here! Smile with me, wear the cap and sail with the SNAP!
Best wishes!!
