Hey reader,

It’s 3rd of March, just after the midnight, and the beauty of this night is the thoughts and an assurance that this one will get read may be right now by the one I call the amazing person. Though, this one is not for only that one but for each of you, yes you, living in this world of social sickness and entangled into it like a prey in spider’s web.

Technology today is the biggest Hero and the biggest Culprit. It brought us closer in the sense of physical distance while dragged us far from the person sitting next to us. Let’s discuss something we all do, Backspace! 
How many times do you write up a message and erase it up? Just think of it, if you were doing it in real, like in face-to-face discussion! How would you backspace it? Or writing a letter? How many pages you would have wasted? Ever thought about it? Yeah, it can be good sometimes but what it’s doing is stopping us from what we want to say! I feel no shame in admitting this that I do it! I do write a hell lot of text and then just erase it all!

Next, what it does? Just creates an anxiety, we feel uncomfortable as we stopped us from something we wanted to do. We then go to Facebook or Messenger or Instagram, pulling and dragging and refreshing to get some new notification or a message in the inbox or DM. We check the time it’s already 2:00 am. We go to Whatsapp, checking the display pictures and statuses. And so on!

Is this really the life, technological advancement wanted to bring? No! This is what we have brought from it and making us miserable for the social attention, likes, messages, hearts, and reaction each and every single day.

Remember, if you read the last blog, I asked if you ever received any personal letter? Also, have you ever written one to anyone? The real letter on a paper with a pen?
If you have got any, you know how great it feels to have one. It’s not just about the words, written there, but the emotions in the handwriting. It’s about the choice of ink colour, it’s about the choice of paper texture. It’s about the curves in the letters and it’s about the font sizes. Do you ever get this in a text or something? This is surreal! Adding to that, the joy of reading to those old letters is something that Facebook memories could never ever bring.

Remember the time when people use to write diaries? Pasting tickets and photographs to the dates. How great feeling was that? Remember the photo albums and joy in watching and living those moments rather than watching them on a 5-inch screen of mobile or 16- inch screen of the laptop?

These technology upgrades are good, no doubt about it and to the minds behind it, but never forget that the REAL JOY is always in REAL WORLD! 

I have tasks for you, as always, and these are the ones very simple and very interesting. I want you to write letters. The real letters! Some examples I’m sharing: A letter to a 15-year-old self! A letter to a 40-year-old self! A letter to a 60-year-old self! A letter to your favorite person! A letter to your love! A letter to your best friend! A letter to your parents! Do I need to give more? And yes, don’t waste paper on rewriting. Save Trees :wink-eye:!
