and hence i step into the world of blogging... probably with the notion that i am actually creating a memory bank...

a thought on todays Electronic era.

i was in a boarding school in my 11th and 12th grades wherein i used to write an inland letter almost twice a week to my mom. we used ti take snaps using the film roll camera and get it printed and probably look at it when ever we feel low or happy. i never realized how important they were till recently when i went home and i saw my mother actually preserving the letters i had sent to her when i was in the boarding school. and when i look at the snaps in the album, it does remind me of very fond memories

but in todays world of all the email and cell phone facilities, an emotional moment is hardly relived. you can see an email that says something very sentimental, but then at some point of time it just disappears from ur screen and ur mind. and a few years down the line if u want to relive that moment, its lost. the same thing with pictures. we take snaps after snaps with our mobiles and digicams and store them in pen drives and hard disks, but we dont have a printed album of the same.

guys, i feel we should try and compromise this electronic era at times so that we can relive the moment. trust me, an e-card sent by your sister on raksha bandhan is not even remotely close to a greeting card and rakhi tied by your sister.

live the moment, and later relive it
