When you pen a letter, put life in it!

 

I just came across an article convincing me that we are losing a great pleasure of our life due to over use of technology.  Yes, I am talking about our letter writing skill that we’re unable to practice now days. Really, writing letters makes direct and instant contact with the reader’s mind with you.  Although, you will get thousands of printed greetings, e-mails (that are forwarded from your friends) and SMS’, but you can’t make the receiver delighted as you expect.

On the other hand, when you pen a letter you put your feelings in simple and clear words. These letters show how deep attachment you have with a particular person and the receiver can also experience your involvement in writing. The most effective part of written letters is that the reader can imagine you actually sitting on chair, bed or at your favorite secret place and writing the letter with completely sunken in his/her thoughts. That makes the reader overwhelmed by your thoughts, and that reader immediately sends a warm reply to your letter. What else you want as an appreciation for your writing?

Before some years I thought that I couldn’t practice letter writing for communication. Today, I wonder that I had written bundle of letters while graduating. I wrote number of letters in English and Marathi as well. Isn’t it amazing? ;)  It was a high period when I used to play with words in prose and poetry. Many of my friends still don’t believe this fact, and some friends believe that I’m secretive in this matter. Pages after pages were penned, read, memorized and burned and torn up to pieces. It doesn’t matter what you do with the pieces of paper once you succeed in conveying your message to the Destination. The words and sentences in your letter vaporise into the air and become the part of somebody’s memory, and you remember how you enjoyed writing those letters every time you miss that experience.

So remember, whenever you write, write with life..! At least I’ll follow it.
