Little Moments Of Bliss is a silhouette of a feeling that resides in my heart. A software engineer by degree, a writer at heart, and a teacher by profession, I'm all that I never thought I would be. Pretty pictures,a poem that blatantly refuses to rhyme, a text from a deranged friend, a sudden gesture of love, its these little things in life, that matter and sprinkle bliss. Grace the couch and share a cuppa!

Post Some Love




I'm an old fashioned girl, I find letters cute. I wrote one to my cousin (who lived in the same city) a couple of years back during my summer break. And as soon as she got it, I made Papa drive me over to her place because I wanted to see how does it feel like receiving one. We read it together and giggled for almost an hour. It was totally lame, but then again, who isn't ? Why hide ? and I was merely 10, or maybe 12 or was it 11 ? Never mind.

Moral of the Story : Go post a letter today, and surprise the ones who are close to your heart. Give that sad lonely mailbox some pleasure.

  4. I've been thinking about doing that for a long time. Mail is not the same thing, we need to bring letters back! You know what? I think I'll do that (but my handwriting sucks :/ )

  5. The last letter I wrote was probably when I was in college..to my family...and a few letters I exchanged with a school friend when he shifted to Orrisa are some of my treasured memories...Letters hold the same significance as compared to e mail...as reading a hard cover bound book does as compared to reading on kindle...or say...seeing hard copies of photos developed from a film as compared to seeing digital photos on laptop...Awesome feeling :)

  9. lol, i posted a letter once too,
    its been 3 years and still the letter haven't reached its destination.
    i posted to my friend and whenever we talk about it, its just so hilarious.
    final conclusion:
    it takes more than three years for a letter to get to its destination, if the destination is in the same city,
    the distance and time are directly propotional to each other in this law :P

    I too had a similar feeling on seeing a post box a few days.

    I wondered how many actually even spotted its lonely existence in the age of email.

  24. LoL ~ this is such a cute post! We do live in an age where the instant gratification of an email has taken the place of a handwritten letter which is so meaningful to receive because someone took the time to write it by hand :)

    I must admit that I don't put pen to paper anymore ~ I let my fingers do the 'talking' instead lol! Could be the reason why my penmanship isn't as good as it used to be ~ if you don't use it, you lose it, as they say :p

    I will remember this post and go dig out some nice old stationery, which must be around here somewhere? :D

    P.S. ~ I didn't know Saru was married either! So sweet that she and her husband still write emails to one another while living under the same roof :) ♥

  25. oh...that was time when we use to run whenever we see the postman coming towards our home....really written letters have got their own fragrance and soothing effects which we all miss these days....

    Nice post....:))

    ReplyDelete
  26. Agreed. Posts have a personal touch. Especially if it is a love letter.

    ReplyDelete

  30. Hey,Shylock here :P

    Cheers :) :)

  31. Yes, there is something about letters :)

  32. Email has made things a lot easier, but nothing like a handwritten letter, right? :) My friend and I used to write regularly to each other, but it seems like neither has the time!

    I still have the letters my friend gave me while we were at school. Even the little notes we pass around in class to communicate during boring lectures are special. :)

  33. i've been wanting to do this for a while but I can't find an active participant. As a kid, I loved receiving written letters from family and friends all over the world and this was before the email days. Today, People including myself prioritize who's email is worthy of my time, something I would never do had it been a hand written letter. Nice post.
