Significado
When a writing tool stops working.
Contexto cultural
In Marathi schools, borrowing a pen is a common way to start a friendship. If your 'pen sampla', it's an opportunity to talk to your crush or a new classmate. Students often carry at least two pens to avoid the 'pen sampne' crisis during board exams, which are taken very seriously. Marathi writers often use the 'dry pen' as a metaphor for the end of an era or the death of a scholar. In government offices (Mantralaya), a pen not working is sometimes a humorous excuse for delays.
