In this age of SMS, I find our good old "postcards" fascinating. We hardly have time and we don't want to write long letters. But how about sending hi note to someone in a postcard? It costs u just 50 paise. And u can maybe cheer someone up. Maybe u could surprise a friend with a congratulation note. You can send a feedback to the bank manager about how u felt when u last visited them. You can send a comment to the channel head on a tv programme you liked. Maybe a feedback to a newspaper. You can even reestablish a long lost friendship with an old classmate. All this with a postcard. Cheap, small and convenient. I for one, have found it very interesting. U don't have to write too mcuh. U write only about 100 words, or maybe less. U learn to say more with less words. You see.
We hardly have time for anything or even anyone! But a postcard with its simplicity can go a long way to keep our status as SOCIAL animals alive. It can be a beginning to a long cherished friendship that would otherwise go unnoticed. And u know friendships are fulfilling. And all of us want to live fulfilling lives. So check out how u like it. I love it. Especially now that i've overcome that feeling of inferiority cuz it costs only 50 paise. It's not the 50 paise. It's your THOUGHTFULNESS, the affection and of course the few mints u set apart for the receiver that matter.

this is something i've loved too.
The world is changing; don’t be adamant in using obsolete tools. But forget not, to sustain the same personal warmth which you have tried in your postcards. Be nostalgic and innovative (Read: “Who Moved By Cheese Spencer”)

That's something to think about. thank you. After y are teachers otherwise? ';-). Another thing is i use postcards when i have no other means of contacting them. i send in th postcard my email id and blog addres and mob number. then the relationship continues ';-)
