hope we never forget...

.. the beauty of handwritten notes...

in the past few months I received maybe a 10,000 emails and 3 handwritten notes... I cant even distinguish 10 emails from the 10,000 at the top of my head now... but I clearly remember the 3 appreciation/ thank you hand written notes... one from a mentor I respect the most at work, one from a student I interviewed at U of M and a very unexpected one from my hair stylist... the pleasure of receiving hand written letters in the mail (postal) is rare and thoroughly enjoyable!

I've grown up watching my grandpa write letters to all his loved ones n even long lost friends regularly..
in his beutiful hand writing utilizing each nook n corner of the blue foldable inland letter..n always he seemed to b njoying that more than nything else...!

n just a few months back i stumbled upon this video on ted.com - on lost art of letter writing..
