I got very curious when I saw Gama Ezhuthani on ASA [https://asapens.in/eshop/fountain-pen/gama-ebonite-pens/gama-ezhuthani-ebonite-desk-fountain-pen?sort=p.price&order=ASC]. There are some nice pics in this thread : https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/267615-ezhuthani-desk-pen-from-gama/ does anybody know how such desk-pens were used (placed) on the desk traditionally [in India, or elsewhere]? Does it just lie flat on the table (if so, what prevents it from rolling)? Or does it stay on dedicated cap-holder? Or in a cup-pen-holder along with other pens? If any of you regularly use such desk-pens, how do you place it on your desk? [if you use such a pen] Do you like using desk-pen, and if so, what aspect attracts you to a desk-pen? [if you use such a pen] Does it feel imbalanced while writing with a long desk-pen? Is the increased length of the pen a specific design feature for any functionality, or it is an aesthetic feature? Are such long desk-pens unique to India or are there other traditional non-Indian vintage models with such designs?I think there is something intrinsically very attractive about this type of pen; even when considering the practical difficulties in carrying it around.... Requesting everybody who have used such desk-pens [whichever model it is] to please share your experiences.... Thanks.
