The web-'block'??!

Well, certainly a long delayed update.You see, it is very difficult for most people used to the quintessential pen and paper, to get used to composing in front of the monitor.There is a disturbing lack of emotions and a not-too self-complimentary blankness of the mind every time I endeavour to do it. Also the process of writing on paper and then typing it-too cumbersome.And as far as I know, I am not the only one who faces this problem.Some of my more intelligent friends also complain of the same short-coming hindering their progress with net-writing. Same has been the misfortune faced by a number of very famous writers and their type-writers(of the past) and their MS Words(of the present).
I would certainly love to know whether this is a problem with all and sundry or just a few of us non-upgraded souls.Because, if it's near to universal problem, then it goes a long way in explaining the difference of the "e", between mail and e-mail.That difference that most of us,still attached to the emotional baggage that snail mail tags along with itself,lament.It is certainly ironical that its the very same factor,Time, that endears a piece of paper with some scribbled writing on,to our hearts and fails to inspire that same feeling when we non-chalantly delete read mails from our inbox.Time spared.More important than the time taken in transit....

think its more or less a combination of both...first of all, the charm of the paper and pen is too good to give up...and secondly, one needs a mind of a certain quantity of logic and in-a-way-ruthlessness to compose with the comp...you are not an engineer are you...they are naturals at this shit...you can practice as well! finally, its quicker maam.

hey, you should write more often than you do...liked your language... :)

Hmm...realize the issue. Thats why the posts are few and far in between.

But yeah the e-mal vs. the mail thing, bit like "Video killed the Radio Star". Sad.

Cheers!
