Ummmm…. Okay, if you say so.

The Statesman: “The main drawback of fountain pen was that the hands get inked during writing by fountain pen. He said that he was working as a Pescar (clerk) at Narsinghpur Tahsil under Cuttack district in 1974. His clothes and hands are inked due to leakage of ink from his pen.

Then he decided his new invention to use bamboo stick made pen in his official work.

He brought a bamboo twig of half feet length and made it separate by cutting into two pieces. Then he placed a ball pen refill on the gap of the twig and bounded this twig by two or three plastic rubber to make it tight. He uses one bamboo twig made pen for 6 to 8 months.

Mr. Behera says that now he is using this pen in his official work. He says that he started this pen by the help of using only 25 paisa for purchasing refill but he is spending only Rs1 to Rs. 2 for the said pen .He says that this pen is unbreakable. “
