About Me

My photo
A Software employee By Profession.Passionate to know about life(DNA)in Society.The irony is, I am perhaps the most anti-Compuy. But college nd profession helped me in a lot many ways. As I try to connect the dots of my life backwards, I can see that everything I am and what I think is because of my life in college and profession.Apart from watching my own lonely life closely, I had the chance to meet people from different regions, cultures and ambitions. The trio of these perspectives added with how I saw life evolve in those 4 years helped me realise one thing…that Life Goes On... I intend to write this blog as a platform for me to share my ideas, perspective of life,movies, poetry, politics and to know YOU..So, if you share/don’t share the same perspective, I would love to hear from you…mail me at..murali.j.krishna@gmail.com

My forgotten skill

Now that I’ve moved from Hyderabad to Bangalore,Now I know I’m not the only one who has stopped handwriting letters. Most post offices around the world are in terminal decline. Those in your backyard are employing all kinds of creative tactics to stay afloat. In one outpost in Mylapore,The Times of India reported, postal employees dispatched 500,000 hall tickets for candidates appearing in a government exam. If you spot a Bangalore resident at a post office, he/she is more likely there to register themselves for a Unique Identification Number than to bid adieu to a handcrafted letter. Last year many of our post offices even started selling gold coins. I used to be great at writing letters, especially when I am feeling lonely.I feel the finest conversation one can have with is the self. When I left home for the first time to study in a District in Andhra Pradesh. I will never forget the one letter which I got from a friend where he dispassionately detailed a personal tragedy that changed him forever—and made me cry?and then shared how he recovered from it. Now my communication with friends was built email-by-email or built by-mobil.Post offices may be dying, but the art of letter writing isn’t. Email,Face Book and Twitter,Blogging e.t.c is the best thing that ever happened to letter writing. No more waiting every day at 3pm for the postman to show up, no more “getting lost in the mail” phenomenon, no more bank-holiday-related delays. There’s also email’s instant reply advantage(except when you don’t reply),Yet nowadays, most of my replies to friends read like this: “God I miss you too. So much. Will write a longer email in a couple of days. Love you.” And then I pray they will continue to be my friends. Does emails can make you to feel the pain?Does Social network,micro blogging shares your pain??
