The lost art of handwritten emotions
A 1990 version of 22-year old sat at his desk scribbling something on a thin white material made out of papyrus with the help of a stick like thing which ejects blue liquid from its one end. The 2018 version of similar aged person is having conversation by typing words into a 5-inch screen made out of chips and batteries.
Somewhere in between these years, the emotions felt with handwriting is lost. The longing for the arrival of a 40-year old man riding his cycle holding a bunch of envelopes is lost. There is a dearth in the intense action produced in hypothalamus when holding a letter containing words which seemed like they are written not with blue ink out of a pen but with red ink out of a vein.
