Today is World Post Day! One of the most visible faces amongst community workers is Post Man! From 1700s - the era of messengers, who travelled large distances on foot or horseback to today’s swank mail vans, they delivered smile, laughter, fun, money and sadness. But now whenever I see the vanishing post boxes or fading postal services, it reminds me of Bernardo Bertolucci’s classic movie – The Last Emperor. Only future will reveal how long post can fight the grand entry of emails and smart phones... but their stamp of red will never be forgotten!

Yes. I remember those days after my college, when I wrote long letters, and still not feeling satisfied, write at the inner sides of the lid of an inland cover too and envelopes, where the post man had demanded more money while delivering letters that had secretly smuggle few photos of our celebrity crushes and weighed more than it should.. :) And Satish, happy to see your blog active again after almost two years. Hoping to read more.
Memories... yes Viji... hoping this time it will be a pretty long journey!
