My empty letter box



Running down the staircase to check if Grandparents sent a letter or if a friend has sent few words for me is something I miss so much. Agreed that the internet is faster, better & makes more sense. But somewhere deep down I miss receiving those handwritten letters from my close ones.

A mail in my inbox, a sms or a scrap somehow still doesn't touch me the way a handwritten letter did. I miss the personal touch in them. You almost feel the person's presence while reading through the lines.

Modern things have the good & bad both. Guess getting nostalgic about receiving letters is not something we even have the time to sit back & think 'coz the positives of the internet & the telecom is so high that probably this is too small a think to even make us think about.

But I still miss the inland letters & the postcards...
