To commemorate 241 miles which Bapu travelled during the Salt March, Mont Blanc has released a limited edition pen called – ‘Mahatma Gandhi Limited Edition-241’, only 241 of these pens are made and each of them costs a cool 12 lakhs. What a way to remember Gandhi whose whole life was about simplicity. Who used to make a point to write on both sides of a page so as not to waste paper.
Is this a sign of a greater decay, where we remember the symbol but not what it stands for? Its time to learn Gandhi all over again, for he is more relevant then ever in present times.
