Wish you were with me
Wednesday, 31 October 2012
Every time of life is a greetings time. You don’t have to wait for an accession to send greetings to those whom you love. Not for a person like me. I am a collector; I collect sentiments, passions, love and joy. I do it through sending greetings to others and receiving greetings from them.
Advent of the Internet has added another cultural dimension in our society; greeting through the Internet. There are so many sites on the World Wide Web offering free cyber greetings for all occasions from where users can select, customize and send e-cards with a few clicks.
Imagine what you get on e-cards. The messages printed on the greeting cards are poetic, passionate, persuasive and very comforting. The e-cards available on the internet meet the requirements of all the conceivable situations in the human relationship. There are in endless varieties, designs, shapes and sizes from simple messages like ‘I wish you were here with me now’ to such questions as ‘I often wonder what made us fall in love and more?’
One of the e-cards that I have received lately is from the Chairman of a German NGO. Almost entire manifesto of the NGO is printed on the e-card. I might not have read the material if I was given a leaflet about the NGO but the e-card is so beautifully and aesthetically designed and presented that not only I read it but it touched my heart too. I wish others could follow the line to make their voices heard in this din.
The greeting card shows how our cultural heritage values architectural styles, fashion designs and form visible record of our history. Most of the cards are work of art that is collector’s delight.
The best card I had the pleasure to receive was from a foreign volunteer working “to fight against poverty in rural areas.” It was simple and beautiful. What touched me was the message on this e-card. It said, “wish you were with me.” I haven’t asked my friend weather this message is focused or on purpose? I have bookmarked the page and see this whenever I come and work on computer. I enjoy every time I look at this card.
When was the last time you send an e-card to any of your loved ones? It is time to send it now.
