Comment on Postcards: With Love by R.Nayyar

Me too! I have his entire collection of albums so your definately not alone or pathedic. He really has something for everyone doesn’t he? I personally love his more romantic and gentle vocals-they’re so charming!
The same goes for the postcards because once again I’m reminded of romance. And I guess the reason that I connect both things to the World War’s is that this is the very music that was being played then and the War’s are also known for their postcards between soldiers and their families.
I really think that people need to write things down more. In an age were everything is digital, we lose the sincerity that goes behind putting pen to paper because it really takes effort and thought to write a letter or postcard, doesn’t it? I mean, you can hit delete on the computer but you can’t on a paper. You just end up starting all over to fix your mistake. Or if you don’t start over, you lose the the satisfaction of crossing things out. I’m even a fan of type-writers as substitutes for hand written postcards and letters because working with type-writers takes effort too. There’s a great qoute be a British Writer named Russell T. Davis and in which he talks about typewriters:
“Times like this, typewriters would be better. Typewriters are romantic. A little metal letter should fly. It should hit the paper, whack! Tiny particles of ink should puff and settle. But no, there’s just a plastic keyboard.” He’s actually taking about writing the last few lines of his works but I think that applies to everyone. I just don’t get the same satisfaction as I would if I were hand-writing.
I could go on for ways as well. And it seems like we are!
