COMMUNICATION - Part 2

Dear RC
"Puli Pathungiyathing" karanam therindhuvitttathu ( No mail from you in the past couple of days ! ). What a nice mail.
Y'day night only myself and manni had spoken about you and when manni asked about any mail from you, I told there is no mail from you and said we may receive a big bang at any time.
What you had written is the reallity and everyone is trying to hide ourself inside the constrain - NO Time for anything - and not ready to accept the reality.
I want to share my feelings / rememberence even if it is not revelent to your subject.
Going to Post office to see any letter came to our house at 0800 hours is one of my / Sridhar's main duty when we were at Babu Rao street and I was proud to see the post man answers me on priority to give the letter over others. Most interestingly when we get our school result through post card, I felt great to see my name on the post card rather than the result inside. (Ofcourse due to confident that I will be promoted to next class )
I still remember my first letter that was to you only after your first overseas visit. ( Do you remember ? )
You should be considered as one of the best letter writer and what unique I remember in your letters is you only started numbering your response ( Like 1/2004, 2/2004 etc) so that no one can challange that you had not replied.
Do you remember the filing system in our house for all letters received ? It will be another nice time when I clear all letters at the end of the year to make the file (?) available to take new years letters.
In those days we were quite confident that if postman ( Aaravamuthan) rings his cycle bell at 1530 hours, then it was a letter from Kittu Mama of Salem.
We use back door entry to send letter on the same day itself if we could not post it before 1900 hours at RMS (Thanks to Thambi & Chokalingam) so that it will reach the destination next day as the receptionist will be waiting to see a written mail.
Yes.. by seeing the hand written letter we all become very close and it increase moral support. ( Can time permit / allocate some time to start it again ? )
I am happy for spending some 10- 15 min for typing / posting this mail during which I remembered the golden memory of those days.

My recent mail on Communication has already brought out a gem of a letter - from YOU. My memories were kindled by your wonderful narrations.Particularly, regarding that "file" of old letters. Whenever I came to TPR from Pune / Hyd, my top priority will be to read those letters. What an experience that was!
Also, your "if postman ( Aaravamuthan) rings his cycle bell at 1530 hours, then it was a letter from Kittu Mama of Salem." did bring out fond memories of Kittu Mama. When we were in Salem recently, I made it a point to visit Rukmini Mami and see her. We went. Those letters from Kittu Mama that you talk about flooded my mind; and I explained to Vijaya, Kumar, and Lalitha that we used to get letters from KM every week, no failing in that habit till he passed away. He was the "best friend" to our father GRS, I told this group.
My efforts - today it took more than 2 1/2 hours to type and then bring the length down to 600-words - have already paid off. Thank you Vasu. And Ashok.

Dear RC
COMMUNICATION. What an important & strong word in everybodies life, which we are all ignoring now-a-days. Truly, it is bad.
Just 2 days back only amma was telling to me, once, for the first time in my life I wrote a letter to my father in English. He was so proud of it and he had shown the letter to amma atleast 4-5 time on the day he received and he was keeping the letter for a long time in his diary. The one small inland letter got tears in my eyes that day.
The power of communication!!
I can remember one more thing also. I was at G.D.Naidu's institute, coimbatore for 3 months and it was just like a prison life. Everyday in the lunch time we use to get our letters. Every student at the institute were very keen to get their letters from the relatives /parents. Every week i used to get a letter from my mother/father. The day i get the letter the day was the happiest day for me.
The power of communication!!
For the past 18 years I am into the powerful communication media - advertising. I think I have'nt realised the real meaning of it. Your today's mail disturbed me a lot.
The power of communication!!
Thanks Chiththappa.
