Hello all, I feel delighted to join FPB, and say my greetings to all. I am a consultant surgeon, and hold a chair of assistant professor at a local hospital, and medical college. I belong to Karachi, Pakistan.From my class 1; I was attracted by fountain pens. In my college life I used to buy Parker pens, P 45 at that time. I also enjoyed Chinese pens, which always have dominated the pen market here, because of being affordable. After, graduating from medical college, my fervor for collecting fps tremendously increased.  Knowledge of different brand pens obtained fro web also" added fuel to the fire". Now I own a few very interesting and collectible pens , and my recent focus has been on Cross , and I have acquired a Cross Townsend Lapis Lazuli fp , with full accessories ,and owning this pen gave me a particular feeling of accomplishment that I hardly ever experianced.Having an fp hobby in Pakistan, is a very difficult ( and tiring !) job ,as prices are higher higher day by day , and almost impossible to get pen parts or repair done.I believe in loving ,and caring , and securing relation-ships thru understanding and co-operation. Like all, I dream to make word a better place. Thanks for reading. Enjoy your life, and pens,  

Regards,

Saleem Ali

Welcome Saleem,

 

I'm a hospital doc and have had several colleagues over the years who hail from Pakistan.

 

Cross Townsend Lapis?  Now you need the ballpoint to make it a set.

 

You should have fun here.

 

regards
