Where is my other?

Where is my other?-By Manu Nair

Curious about this title? Surely anyone would be curious to find out. The title could mean anything, it may refer to your partner, a book or an eraser but why the hurry?
In our daily life we do use the pencil & the eraser but when we write with the pencil there is every chance that the matter could be erased and rewritten in any other way. The 'other' here is referred to the pen as the ‘Pen is Mightier than the Sword’. We love writing letters to our friends and relatives and we make use of the pen though currently the computer has made its way and makes our work easier. The pen is also used to transfer messages from one person to the other. When we want to write on a particular subject we use the pen most often. It also helps in debating with each other on a particular matter as some may be 'for' it and others maybe 'against', for example sex education,prostitution,HIV & AIDS.
Thus the 'Pen is considered as Neutral.'
Everyone would have their own opinion and their opinion is regarded as the most valuable and this gives the pen its own value, during a death sentence been pronounced it is often seen that after the judgement is passed the nib of the fountain pen is broken.. Whenever an agreement is signed between two countries it is often seen that the pens too are exchanged with one another. Last but not the least, the pen is used to write notes and scribble some urgent messages.
Therefore never treat a ‘Pen as a Symbol but as a Matter of Prestige!' So carry your pens wherever you go and do remember that the Pen is really mightier than the sword.
