Penning down emotions

Gone are the days when Chottu could criticise Mottu's petite handwriting that was to be understood as English but looked more so like the the Harappan script, yet to be deciphered.No delay in pasing on love due to Diwali or Sunday,except the fact that the words contain a monotonous script choosen as per ones choice .Speed is a fascination to one and all,young and old.It is this demon in disguise that has reduced the wonderful art of writing to mere examination papers.Instant communication is the call of the hour.

Today it is as simple as the zap of a finger.Just choose the font size and format,add pictures and type with a mind boggling speed.Print the matter on a white paper devoid of any sincerity and draft it within an envelope.Well,it isn't this too writing?Oh!yes this is but where are the emotions?The odd jokes that you could crack on the spelling mistakes and the handwriting that would show you your sincerity?

Well, apart from drafting a printed matter we today seem to have forgotten to pen down a few lines,"Have you gone crazy?here, take my mobile",this is what most of us offer our friend at the latter's proposal of writing a letter.Why waste 30 precious minitues of your life when you can just dial vague numbers,exchange well practiced pleasantaries and get your job done?

It is high time we realise the importance of flowing ink on paper to convey our feelings because,the print ink has no shades but your ink pen can give different shades and who knows, just shade your life better! The art of writing letters is a tradition which calls for preservation and interest from the youth.It is the young hands that have to preseve this wonderful tradition.So,what are you looking for?Stop reading and let the ink of your pen flow into one odd page you had left for typing a letter to your best friend.Hey! Remember,"Pen is mightier than a printer in bonding hearts."
