PARKER – The Brand – The Name that has hypnotized me since 1997. I simply completed my educating then and joined school for my UG Course. Extremely alongside my school was a Stationery shop which was offering Branded Products those days.
I went to that shop to purchase some item which I don't recall however when I saw a PARKER,I instantly began to look all starry eyed at it. Keep in mind those days,Parker never gave such a variety of advertisements like today and had a Brand Ambassador – Mr.Amitabh Bachchan,I think. I asked about it and the retailer let me know some rate yet he offered me to go for a superior one – FULL STEEL for which I have to submit a request and he would get in 2 days.
Regardless I recall the rate as I have saved the bill likewise till date since that was my first costly buy(in Pen's Category). It was an astounding Rs.225. Those days even 1 Gram of Gold was offering around 800 to 900. I chose to utilize my Pocket Money which my Dad offered me to purchase it despite the fact that that would abandon me for whatever remains of the month,literally,penniless.
The day came and I purchased it. Presently my next stress was what will my guardians say?? In spite of the fact that Pocket Money was given to me to spend,still spending such a great amount on a pen..I was dumbstruck yet luckily,my dad,who was traveling to another country frequently in those days knew the Brand Name and the Rate.So I couldn't shroud it with him.Hence I confessed.However we chose to cover the real rate to my Mom who had no idea about the Brand. I advised her "Mom,I purchased this pen was Rs.100". My Mom gazed at me and said why did you purchase such an extravagant pen?? My Dad took a gander at me and we snickered at one another.
At that point came the following thing,the ink. The retailer let me know it won't run with typical ink and I need to purchase QUINK. It was estimated Rs.40 in those days and different jugs those days were offering at Rs.5 or Rs.6 yet for a Premier Product,even the Accessories should be Premier,isn't it?? I by one means or another dealt with that cash as well and purchased it. Presently I am having a Parker in my grasp which was "Made in UK". Those days every one of the pens were transported in and they all were "Made in UK".
After couple of years,when my mother went to Singapore,She asked me what do I want.I speedily said "PARKER". She got me a delightful pen and this was "MADE IN USA". Amazing…
I began gathering Parker's from time to time and wound up having very much an average number. I saw a Ferrari Parker on special on a Website.I quickly put in a request and got it.It was a combo and it even had a Micro Tip Pencil.This was "Made in UK" and even while I was working with HSBC, amid my Birthdays,my companion's who knew my energy talented me liberally with Parkers. My most recent expansion as on 22.2.13 was a Parker Chinese Lambre Pen which was skilled to me by my wife on our Wedding Anniversary.
Presently going to some other old memories..I had met with inconvenience utilizing the Parker cartridges couple of times which was indeed the last ones I ever needed to face an issue with and this was in mid 2000. I composed to Luxor Instruments and they instantly answered back to me with new arrangement of cartridge. My Association with PARKER still proceeds with and would proceed till my
