I know, to many of you the topic may seem silly( as my blog), and to the rest of you
it may seem wierd. So true. Who writes a letter these days any way. And the whats the whole point of
Writing a letter when we have mobile, email, and what not.
Every thing in the commmunication today, has been missing its charm.
The world today is moving on such a fast pace that, What ever we are supoosed to communicate in a
relationship perspective is happening instantly.
We make friends on the go, we fight, we hate, we meet new people, the whole definition of Friendship or a relation is changed.
We are not prepared to give enough time for a relation to grow stronger or more precisely to be firm.
I thought about the older times when we wrote letters to each other, and patiently waited for the reply.
The Post was so much reliable then( Its reliable even today, But we aren't patient enough ).
All i figured out was, instead of making a call to the friends i miss, and with whom i have shared a part of my life,
i could preserve my friendship by writing letter.
In this way, we could remain in loop waiting for each others response, and what response we could get, and make each other feel special.
Writing a letter is an Art. It takes a State of mind and some Quality time to be dediacted to the person you choose to write to.The huge sence of anticipation of weather or not getting a reply, is an awesome feeling.
While I am as active as anyone on social networks like Facebook or twitter or whatsapp or texting for that matter,and love being able to keep up with my friends’ news so much more easily and immediately now,
it still makes me a little sad to realise that the sense of anticipation I loved so much has been lost somewhat.
Now when something happens you find out about it right away. Thats really great, but just imagine,
A How are you? Hope you are fine ? to I miss you , hope to see you in near future letter, gives a
great touch to the relation.
I am sure, i made my point. Go take out some time and write a letter to your parents, or your old neighbour , a hostel friend, your grandma, or why not your sibling.
Luv,
Swatzyy
