Sir, Post

its been ages since I heard the words 'sir, post'. postment, sometimes postwomen, in India, utter these words when you have a letter/parcel. unlike here, most of the letters we receive in india is from a friend or a relative, and there is definitely a thrill in rushing to get it. needless to say, the excitement in reading the letter first, aahhh..... I miss those days.
in the past 4 yrs I have received exactly 3 letters, all from my mom. she sends me the stuff for 'avani avittam' every yr. but without fail she does attach a letter, and I cherish reading it.
though emails and IMs have taken over, I still consider a written letter to be the most dearest communication of all. it has life in it.
