Mail it??? How???

< Previous Next >

May 21

I have been itching to write again for some time.. but the post i wanted to do is actually a very long one.. and will take a lot of time.. so i think i'll start with a small one for now..

I have just visited Kelsey's space.. and it reminded me of something that happened just yesterday.. so i think i'll share it with you all.. It just proves her point of how we rely more on email nowadays than our postal system..

Well last month was all about exams and it was made more hectic because of two weddings in the family.. anyways those are for another post... Well its tradition to invite over newly wedded couples for either lunch or dinner.. so we invited over both my brothers(Girish and Lalit) and their wives(Poonam and Sudeepti) yesterday for dinner...

Well i have always been very close to lalit.. he isn't just my favorite brother but also my confidant.. and due to my exams i had missed his engagement ceremony.. so i wanted to see the video.. but though he remembered to get the wedding album he didn't remember to get the cds..

Me: Transfer them all to me on messenger whem i am online..

Lalit: If one of us gets disconnected we'll have to start transfer all over again... i'll mail them to you instead..

Me: How can you mail me 700 MB attachments.. do you have a paid email account???

Lalit: Idiot.. how do you mail.. i'll put it in an envelope, affix a Rs.5 stamp and post it..

Me: uh ho.. i forgot totally about the postal system..

	Mariawrote: I love love LOVE technology. It's been since Christmas since I've had to stand in line at a Postal Office. Oh that's so lovely! Instead of giving out a phone number when I go dancing, I just give them email. It's just much easier to screen the idiots out of life! Good to see you back Jade June 12
	A Utah Woman Am Iwrote: Meghna! A very big welcome back. I was worried that much like my past absence, that you weren't going to come back. Though I am glad that you did. You were sorely missed. Technology is a very interesting thing to talk about. And yes, I too forget about the postal system all the time. Though if there is one thing to be said. There is just something magical about getting mail from your friends using the postal system. Though emails are wonderful. With a 'true letter' you get the handwriting and more a sense of person from the one you are writing too. You will have to let us know how the exams went!! Take care! Kelsey June 7

	Sudhir Nathwrote: Hi Meghna - Thanks for the visit. I was tied up in re-furbishing my system. What you wrote on Mail is very true. I just don't remember when last I had entered a post office. We all seems to forget and ignore the good old Postal Service. Every one are hooked on to e-mails, messengers and sms. I can hardly write legibly nowadays. I have shifted from FAT 32 to NTFS. Mainly to fasclitate file sharing. How did your exams go? Take care and do come visiting again. May 28
	Sherri Goleskiwrote: So glad you are back! I hope exams went well and you can finally relax. Last month was really busy for you! Elizabeth is definitly keeping me on my toes. Not walking on her own yet but pretty close to it, and she has finally started teething :D hugs and welcome back! Sherri May 25
