Lost Art

 

Spotted this letter box in a recent vacation and I was almost wistful for the lost art of writing and posting letters.. inland- letters as they used to be called and the post cards.

Growing up these were the most trusted forms of communication and I remember waiting with anticipation to the postman on a cycle to stop by at our home . and Mom reading out aloud letters from her sisters .... I have written quite a few too and also had a pen-friend in Germany , a lovely girl who I used to write you . wonder how that correspondence stopped .

With the Email of the 90s and the instant messaging of the current times , letter writing is all but a lost art .. a relic of the past .....

I still write long hand letters to friends , of course ending up couriering them ... 

Sometimes slow does seem romantic , in these instant times :)
