Preferring snail mail

Today, when technology rules the world, doing things for our loved ones is getting short of our personal touch. During my first few months away from home, friends update me through email. It was exciting because we send and receive emails instantly. But more often than not, we sounded like sending text messages, where, “I think about you all the time and I long for your presence everyday” is typed as “’miz u”. In college, we always write letters to each other, from short inspiring messages to love or sorry letters. We love to scribble words on stationery and giving them to friends.

So, during one of our bi-weekly on line chats, we agreed to bring back the practice of writing and sending our personal letters through snail mail. When I got the first letter from my best friend, I was very delighted. That was the time when we have our new security, locking kind of mailboxes. It felt so good to read from home!
