<p><br/></p><p>When I was in 100-level, my close friend C always got a particular pen brand. At the time, to me, pen was just pen mehn. It didn't really matter whether it was blue or black, pin or round. Not round sha, I can't stand round-tipped pens.</p><p>Where was I?</p><p>Yes, pens.</p><p>My friend C always got Nataraj pens, and I always wondered what the hype was about. Pen no be pen?</p><p>I remember asking her what made it sooo special, and more expensive, and her response was that it just made writing easier. (Her response was more elaborate than that but I can't remember the exact details, it was two years ago, give me a break.)</p><p>I can't remember exactly when, but I remember making my first Nataraj purchase. A black Nataraj pen that cost three hundred and fifty naira for ONE. I remember thinking, "This better be worth the extra one hundred and fifty naira."</p><p>Surprise surpriseeeee, if one Nataraj pen costs five hundred naira now, with tears in my eyes, I will still buy it.</p>

<p>When I first used it, I wondered what I had been using in the previous years. Pen or Nep? Nataraj was smooth, luscious, didn't stain my notes, didn't crack mid-writing, had a firm grip, and could withstand two hours and thirty minutes of non-stop writing in the exam hall. I found love, in a pen!</p><p>Ha!</p>

<p>Whenever I saw my pen in my bag, I smiled. Whenever I picked it up to write, I smiled. Nataraj just made me happy non-stop.</p><p>If I was too tired to write down notes in class, my Nataraj would pick my fingers up. It became an overly supportive partner.</p><p>In fact, the only reason I forgave my complication-ship for that nonsense he did to me was that he got me four Nataraj pens before uni closed that semester.</p><p>See what Nataraj is doing? Quite literally changing lives.</p><p>Sigh.</p><p>Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to study using my black Nataraj pen.</p><p>Thanks N, you're the best.</p>
