Abhishek’s special gift for dad Amitabh
The actor recently mentioned about visiting the temple and being gifted a special pen as a gift from son Abhishek in his blog. He wrote that in the world of digital, Abhishek acknowledges that his father still values a hand-written note which is heartwarming.
“The age of handwriting has been overtaken by the punches on the black square .. and the generation of the young now in their curriculum are giving their work here on this medium .. and no one writes. But in the generosity of Abhishek, he gave me a pen , as a gesture that acknowledged that his father still often prefers to use his hands in the usage of the ink.. often enough,” Big B wrote on his blog.
He also mentioned that pen had a special quality. “…another factor that Abhishek picked up from the store he picked the pen, that the nibs of pens are designed separately for the left handed, and the right handed..!!,” the actor added.
