I still remember my school
days when i used to be so excited
on those special occasions like birthdays, new year, Christmas eve, friendship
day. The excitement was for that one day off from school, from the normal routine and to get connected with
friends and family around. And in those
celebration one thing that was so common
was the ‘Greeting Cards’
Oh yes those
colorful cards, with sweet messages over it, in different sizes for every
occasion and for all.. ohh I love them so much. It was so good to give one to our friends, family
members , teachers, beloved ones and to receive one from them, it gave so much
happiness (yes as it is said happiness lies in those small little things in life). It has so much of emotions attached. I still have those cards with me
which I got in those days , it holds so much of sweet memories which does not
fade away with time and these are really precious to me as it’s the expression of love, emotion, feeling
and sentiments.
But it was a old story though, now in the recent years with the electronic -cards
coming in, greeting cards has lost its charm to some extent, where people have no
time to buy them, write some message and then post it. Life has got so busy
that we have changed our way of maintaining relationship, just a text or an email
thats what we can do for our loved one rather writing our feelings on those cards. But still for me these greetings cards can never
be replaced with the e-cards.
I don’t remember when
did i last receive the one in the recent years but today I was just surprised
to get one from mah friend who has no idea that how much I love them (and yes
that friendship card has mah favorite colors on it, blue n yellow), it really feels good and takes me back in mah childhood days with those sweet memories.
I
must say these cards have not lost its essence for me, I have an
emotional attachment with these cards bcoz for me its not just the piece
of paper but has the sentiments of the
person attached to it whose giving it and I m happy to get one more added
as mah sweet memory and yes they always
make me smile :-)
