Whenever we feel like writing we open our lappy , I am afraid soon people will forget how to write. Don't you think so that life has become so fast ... I dont mind if it becomes a little slow again : where people will find time to meet , talk about trivial issues , celebrate and yeah making pen-pals :) - Somyaa Its 21st century , people don’t have time even to eat or rather even to think … then how can they waste their precious time on scribbling emotions on a piece of paper.

Don’t you think so that life has become so fast … I dont mind if it becomes a little slow again : where people will find time to meet , talk about trivial issues , celebrate and yeah making pen-pals :)

In my school and jr. college time, i had a lot of penpals. Used to contact them from a penpal forum in a popular magazine Scientific Reporter which I used to read those days. Slowly its all faded. Constant connectivity has may be driven it away. I kept my habit alive during my graduation days, when I used to write to my gal and we used to write almost every week or fortnight. With her going out of life, the habit also went off.. :) reg NC Renji,

But hey Renji, on a percentage scale, how important was the "Some pen pals even get married." bit for you? :D Primal, is right.. the waiting, the expectation, the anticipation, the CHARM, is gone..

And I do use a lot of the networking tools out there… :) But I can’t help but miss the good old ‘pen and paper’ routine… There was something very primal about it that made communication so personal and individualistic… And more importantly, it did not have the cc and bcc options… :D Roy and Hari: I know times have changed.

If I had half the number of pen pals as to the number of e-pals I have now, my handwriting would've been magnanimous! :P Ditto with Roy!
