I’ll take up from where I left off. So, for a person for whom the word technology is a nightmare the decision to blog came as quite a surprise but may be the love of writing over-powered fear of technology and the decision was made.
With the advent of the keypad, the erstwhile writing instrument, the fountain pen finds little relevance. It has become a redundant apparatus much to the vexation of the likes of me who likes her i's to be dotted and t’s to be cut at the right place. Now, it is used only by calligraphers and architects for rendering and writing as such has generally become a host of short forms, difficult to decipher for a person not used to this jargon.
Writing for writing’s sake as in art for art’s sake is a thing of the past, a past which was written by greats like R.K. Narayan.

I am glad you are blogging! And I love this post about writing. Yes, writing is not the same as it was a decade ago, but it hasn't yet lost its charm for many. Whether your instrument is the quaint old fountain pen or the newer keyboards, it still helps you spread your words out in 'black and white'!
