Hello April 2022 + A Haul of Pens from Scooboo!

 Hello, hello!

How is this the first day of April already?!

Welcoming this new month with some positive manifestations for me and you and the whole world! That we all may have some happiness and health and peace! 


Hello April!

Be good!

Be Kind!

Be Fun!


Sharing some cute gel pens that arrived in the mail from my most recent order from Scooboo



These are three sets of gel pens from Color Lab. They are so cute and smooth! Let's take a closer look at each of these, shall we? 



This set has shades of pink and purple and a black pen (that's what the colour of the refill of the white pen is). These are super vibrant and very smooth. 



These are called fibre gel pens and are a bit wetter but still as vibrant as the ones above. Love the mix of greens and orange and brown. This set is called 'Autumn', I think. 



This is a summery set of greens, reds and blues. Very vivid and very smooth! 




These pens are made by a brand called Baoke and they are Zebra Sarasa Vintage Clip-on pens' knock offs! :) I bought these just to try them out to see what the colours look like! They aren't bad at all for the price, but not nearly as great as the original, which costs double of what these do. So, not a shabby deal, I guess! 



Last, but not the least, I bought this set of 12 gel pens from Pentonic. They are very smooth and quite vibrant. A very good deal for just Rs. 150! 


Hope you enjoyed my little (or not-so-little) pen haul! Are you a stationery addict like me? Let me know what your favourite pens are on Instagram! 

Have a great April and a great weekend ahead!

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so. Plot Summary:   Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends. Plunging for the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted … and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community.  General Thoughts: This book is super special. Not only this 60th anniversary edition an absolute beauty. This is also a signed copy I picked up from Mussoorie when I was in Landour earlier in the year. This is perhaps one of Ruskin Bond's mo...
