Those old mails...

We belong to the IT age... where the handwritten letters are soon going to be an extinct art...!! And I firmly believe that nothing can ever replace... the smell that comes from an old, folded letter... the warmth of words... the earnestness of feelings... and the effort of the person who wrote the letter....!!

I loved it very much... more than any precious gifts... whenever he (now my husband of 3.5 years :)) gave me handwritten notes or letters...!! And I have preserved nearly all of his handwritten notes to me :) ... and each of these notes is very close to my heart...!!

That he has written these notes... in his own handwriting... makes them ... all the more special and romantic :) :) Alas!!!... This not-so-new email culture has nearly killed the art of writing letters by hand... the real letters... but still sometimes ... on demand ... he writes to me... in his own handwriting ... :) :) and I love those letters so much!!

Nonetheless be it handwritten letters or emails.... I believe... all old mails are real treasures...!! Every mail has a history and a memory associated with it...!! Each of these mails has a story to remind.... a story that can make us smile... laugh... blush... and sometimes... even cry... but in any case... it stirs emotions...!!

After a very long time... today I got a chance to skim through some of my old emails... and I could not stop myself from being transported to past... and the memories overwhelmed me... !! I felt so happy... and at the same time... so content... and so blessed.... for having such wonderful memories... Touch wood!!!
