Letter Box: ‘Why does nobody comes this way’?
Me: ‘Maybe, they prefer an email’?
Letter Box: ‘Really? That means I am no more needed’.
Me: Not really! Maybe, they need you for registered posts only.’
Letter Box: ‘Well, what is an email’?
Me: ‘It is an electronic message that is instant moving from one gadget to another’.
Letter Box: ‘Oh, so it is faster than me. It is instant that is why I am discarded.’
Me:’ You are not discarded. You are just less used these days’.
Letter Box: ‘It is instant and faster but can one feel the touch of the paper? Can a mother touch the words written by her son and feel the warmth of his affection? Can a father embrace the letters drenched in his daughter’s tear who is miles away? Can all this be possible in an email’?
Me: ‘No, not at all. But you know what the world has changed now. And maybe, you did not notice. There are more people on gadgets than in the garden, where you are place’.
Letter Box: ‘I know as there are no footballs that hit me anymore. There is no one who looks at me – waiting for that one letter eagerly. They just pass by me – as if I do not exist. Oh, it hurts, it really hurts so much’!
Me: ‘You are still needed, and that is why you are still here.’
Letter Box: ‘Maybe, but still I wait for that football to hit me, and that postman to unlock. I still wait’!
