How it feels!

Yes, I miss old era of letters, an old fashioned letter is a treasure trove for the future, much more than expressing it verbally, it’s a way to express one’s deeper thoughts on the subject, a way to make our readers understand our views on the subject.i recognize letter writing as an art, something that goes beyond the ordinary, oooh yes! The art of “letters”, each one of us as his/her own episode of letter, there are days when i miss our traditional way of communicating our feelings to other. Much has been written in the modern era of email,text, and phone calls about loss of future bibliography of the epistolary evidence of a famous life that we live. But what will come of our very own modest live?

The archives of memory, emotions and ideas we chose once to commit to paper, to fold and dispatch. Emails are informal because talking is informal, letters, most agreed, are more subtle, deferred, and thought-out and require a sustained effort. It’s the opposite end of confession culture “where it’s good to talk” and to keep on talking to one another. “One can never overestimate the pleasure of an envelope and its content” wrote novelist Rachel Billington, letters have one surprise lurking amid the elegant love words to it, we all look forward to it, I remember reading this script that I’ve kept for age’s now, this vivid energetic account written by “she”, and seeing the flames and the smoke and the dark, stray night in my mind’s eye.
