Do you remember those days when we used to write letters. Ofcourse that is one of the most romantic things in life. We have moved places all the time and every time we moved to a new city, we always lost touch with most friends, some stayed in touch. Infact it used to be the most amazing experience to open the mail box to find a new letter.
Over the years we got busy and it was the letter that took the hit. Then came the magical email and internet and messengers. It was all so mind boggling and looked like something out of the universe. I still remember the first time I went to an internet cafe and sat in front of the pc and took almost an hour and half to create an email id. Obviously the internet cafe guy was the one who even suggested the password and told me, "madam, apna password baad mein change kar lena" (change your password later on). I faintly smiled back at him, thinking to myself that, that is going to take a million years for me to learn that. That night, I dreamed of email, user names, passwords..it was as if I had entered space. Really funny to think of now. But I woke up feeling like a zombie. Of course the internet has changed the way of life for all of us.
Today I know that I wouldn't want to trade my "rainy afternoon..an old friend online..a cup of coffee" for anything in the world.
