A Shop on Kothi Road
Opposite the Government Press on Kothi Road, Preeti Pen Agency has been part of Vadodara’s daily rhythm for years. Office staff stop by on their way to work for a refill, parents arrive with handwritten book lists, and children press their noses to the glass case of fountain pens.
It is a neighbourhood shop in the truest sense: we know which school uses which digest, which clerk prefers a fine nib, and which grandfather still writes letters in blue-black ink.
