WHEN WRITING CHANGED ME!


Do you know what it takes to have a good handwriting? Sources say, you need to write as many pages as possible, and writing changes with times, and also with age!
Here’s what I wanted to tell you? When, in this modern world, fountain pens are replaced by modern ball point pens, where we don’t know what the value a fountain pen holds for one’s primitive formation in life.
In this world of rapidness and no me time connect, do you still write? Not about writing letters to your loved ones but also about writing what you want and feel like doing?
Do you ever believe that as times changed, do we also stop writing? Despite all odds, when they stopped Telegram, the oldest way of communication, I promised myself and took a vow that I wil,l till the end of my lifetime, wish people only by writing letters, and to be personal, I have sticked with it till today, coz it has helped me improve, a lot of things!
What made me feel when I wrote a letter?
We always had this idea, of amidst Whatsapp, and Facebook, and Instagram and blab la whatever communication we possess, who is going to read what I write? The very 1st time when I sent a letter writing about all what has happened in the daily life for a fortnight , to my friend in Patna, life seemed quite different coz it lended me that perspective of understanding, what has progressed, also a reflection, on what has happened, and what do I need to change to be better?
The letter went through a common speed post, when the letter reached, my friend was so happy, why because, there is somebody she feels happy and it comes all the way from a quite far off place since I am in Chennai.
Writing helped me to be personal to myself and also you feel happy to read when somebody writes especially to you.
Why do you need to write?
1.       Writing helped me to have a more personal connect, coz you can express what your heart wishes to say, you don’t need an emoji, nor an acronym nor any modern syllable, but mere expression of what’s in yourself deep down.
2.       It creates a lot of buzz  coz you can be proud of to be a user to proudly say, I do atleast one thing which keeps my phone away. #personal time.
3.       You can stand different among others in owing a passionate hobby, which recent trend of Young Minds would’nt have ever been aware.
4.       Your friends or well wishers will get inspired coz they read about your life and whats happening and not what happening with the trend of Whatsapp status and facebook story.
5.       You feel happy that you also find ways to keep yourself stress- free coz writing makes you let out what you have and what you also expect.
6.       You also share your views in public and also to express in magazines and articles which can make you feel inspired and many will wait to hear from you.
7.       You also get another hobby of penning down beautiful poems and articles, which makes the reader to know something interesting
8.       You define who You are! Signature Hall mark of yourself when you write!
It took  me a year to understand ,what emotions feel like when you write letters and it also encouraged me to bring out my opinions through articles  for the common context for change, and also still I am trying to understand what it takes to do this hobby differently.
Overall, I am happy in the Recent trends to understand the era of bloggers and social media , #hashtag world, but still we find the writing of any form that matters is slowly dying, many are still unaware in themselves “ Actually Even I can write?” is a question in dilemma for many of our Youth.
History quotes so beautifully that To Make or Rewrite History, what mattered most is the smallest of writing that was done, that ignited spark, and that’s through which we see change. We may find many greats who made change, did nothing, but through their writing they made their voices speak.
In recent days, Issues on Recent Govt Issues, we may be uprooted, by a little but the many who brought a change, started with a small writing, on Newspaper, Journals, Magazines and Social Media.If they can why can’t we?  
We need to understand this epitome of rapid change and it’s time we do something more to change what’s happening in today’s context of fast change.
