Hugging with letters

Gone are the days when we recieved or sent cards. Birthday,christmas,diwali...even friendship day cards. I use to fall in love with them. I used to even hang the cards from one end to the other with a thread in my room! I have kept all those safe with me. My most treasured possessions . Yeah I know it sounds kiddish! But I cannot explain how much I love cards & letters !! It also serves as an historical record ! Imagine your great grandchildren finding these cards. They will be able to travel back to your world. They get a peek into your creative side. You are indirectly passing on a message to them.....' How to value relationships' !!! .Nothing more satisfying than seeing a greeting card addressed in your name in the mailbox when your eyes are tired of seeing the bills &magazines ! Sending a message on whatsapp or fb might be easier ( anyone can do that) but the joy in a person's face when they get a card or a letter just cannot be masked. Just the thought that someone took the effort to go to a shop to buy you a card .., took the pain to find your address ,write it down and post it makes you feel good. The sweat and blood ( blood... Well... sorry for the exaggeration . ) that goes in it can't be put to words ! ... Now no one takes the pain. No one has the time . Yet everyone has time for everything else.Crazy right? There was a time when people sent e-cards. I guess that season is over as well. I would prefer a personalized handmade card any day than any expensive gift ! Unless you sent a card... You will not receive one ! So let's start sending cards to our friends . It’s up to you take the initiative and begin! I started ....hope you will too :)

Lost in Two Dimensions

We gaze at screens, day and night, A world so flat, yet shining bright. Pixels dance, but can’t replace, The warmth of touch, a loved one’s face. No scent of earth, no ocean's breeze, No velvet grass beneath our knees. No taste of rain, no fire’s glow, Just silent echoes, a hollow show. Are we alive, or just a view? A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

To my Dearest Grandmother....

Cultivating habits like writing a dairy is not a cake walk anymore. Atleast not in this generation where we are all drowning in the ocean of technology. Infact Ayamachi once asked me “ Mole! Ee Phone il entha ullathu? Ellavarum ithu epozhum enthina pidichu kondu nadakunnathu? . Those words hit deep and I realised we are giving more importance to this nonliving man made thing than anything else. Are we carrying the Bible the same way everywhere we go? While we jot down our “To Do Lists” Ayammachi has it memorised. There used to be a time when landphones existed in every house and when she memorised the telephone numbers of her near and dear ones. How many phone numbers can we tell by heart? She also has a “Kanaku Pusthakam” where she writes her daily expenses and calculations. She also ...
