Past e-mails...

Recently it may have reduced, but there was a time wen i would send a lot of loooong e-mails to a lot of people... my near and dear ones...who i could not meet for some reasons...out-of-town and unable to call n stuff... Things are much much easier now with every messenger service having voice and video calling facilities, you need not write e-mails at length...

While searching for a particular e-mail related to some work, I stumbled upon those letters that i so fondly wrote at that time and some which others fondly wrote to me... :)

Some of them made me think,
is it the same me who had written all that??? or have i changed...
Are my relations with those people still the same as they were?? or have the equations been altered...
Are those people the same? or have they changed...
Did i not understand them completely then? or is it that i now don't...

Too many questions...no answers...or maybe the answer is just one... Everything happens for your good... Amen to that...

But believe me, all said above apart, it's a pleasure to read those past e-mails that you may have written or received from someone...brings back so many fond memories...

they sometimes remind me of duties and sometimes of good times...
some carry a message or word of advice which needs to be re-understood or has never been
more applicable than now ...
some strengthen existing relations while some replenish weakening bonds...
some make me feel foolish and trivial of what i did some time in the past...
some will make me wise and some will break newly formed ice... :)

And that is reason enough to continue writing them whenever i can... 'cause the nostalgia that it will create 5 years, 10 years, 15 years down the line when i read them, will be something invaluable...

You could also give it a try... M sure it works for each one of us... Open some past e-mails just to read thru them...relive those memories...................and then, just vent out your feelings... Send a mail to someone you've long wanted to speak to and just pour your heart out... and even if you may be talking/chatting everyday, there are a thousand things that remain unsaid... and those, instead of getting lost to time, could find place in that beautiful mail :)
