Well how many of you have actually wrote a letter to your friends or relatives or for that matter anyone in the last 5 years? Or let me put it the other way around, how many of you have felt the joy of receiving a letter from your friends or relatives in the last 5 years (except the stupid phone/ credit card bills and complaints from college for lack of attendance but well they don't give joy anyways!)?
There was a time when people used to write letters to their beloveds and waited for long in anticipation to receive a letter. Nothing against emails and other faster modes of communication but I just miss the feel of receiving letters and seeing the other person's handwriting and the effort that he/she has put in to express their feelings through those neatly carved words. The smell of ink coming out of the paper and the care with which they have folded the paper. The neat envelope with a beautiful stamp pasted on it. Just love it!! <3
I miss the number of stamps I used to collect when everyone used to write letters. The different kinds of stamps telling us about our heritage, our great heroes, our great victories, our rulers, our national symbols and depicting everything what we are today and men/women who helped to shape it this way.
In my opinion we should atleast write 1 letter a week to someone we care for because I am sure all of us have someone elder whom I am sure would love to see a letter from their grandchild, niece, nephew, brother, sister, friend. Or you guys write it to me as I would love to receive a letter from you and I promise to write to you back!
mjhe b ek letter chahiye....
ReplyDeleteEk hafte me apne postbox me letter paiye. :D
ReplyDeleteI really miss letters writing which I was used to before coming to Delhi. I used to write letters to editors of magazines and authors who touched some corner of my heart. Some nearby people of my village also used to get their letter written by me. Sometimes I too received some letter from a few fan who really suggested me not to be dreamer and think how and what you can do for your society than expecting someone to do. Once I received a letter from a civil servant in Patna and he desired to meet me when my poem on corruption in Bihar got published in a newpaper.
ReplyDeletePostman knew me by name. You can judge it by the fact that my postal address is Shashikant Nishant Sharma, PIN code-841101. You can validate it by mailing me.
There are much more to share and enjoy but time is a constraint.
