| Finally, I rescued my old 'Caravelle' fountain pen from the bottom of a forgotten drawer. It was given me as a present half and a decade ago. 'For your use when you grow up'- dad had uttered. I was watching its pointed edge. 'The pen is mightier than the sword' - I grinned mischievously at this thought. I realized there was still some dry ink inside it. I turned the tap and washed it with some clean water. I observed the falling ink drops into the sink. They were highly brilliant ultramarine blue, almost violet. They mixed them chaotically like the smoke of a cigarette in the air.
I dried completely the writing instrument and filled in again with fresh ink of the same colour. Then I wrote in a simple calligraphy the first characters on the recently obtained legendary Moleskine notebook.
Of course, this not makes me an intellectual European nor an artist as Van Gogh, Matisse, Chatwin or even Hemingway in Europe.
Actually, at this moment, even ordinary european citizens or visitors can find Möet et Chandon in some supermarkets.
C'est la vie!

Yes, Moleskine is quite a legendary notebook... I've tried to write something on it, without success. The magic that lies between its pages frighten me.
But, ah!, someday I'll make those page black.

The beauty of the Moleskine lies in its use. Don't use it, and it's just another notebook, a plain small black notebook that wouldn't raise an eyebrown anywhere. Use it, and all the features that make it the best notebook in the world -- weight, size, shape, texture -- will come into full play and raise joyfully to meet the nib of your Caravelle, or your Bic. A Moleskine is not for looking; it's for using. It doesn't want you to be Chatwin nor Matisse, but it does want you to write, sketch, or doodle.
