More comments on writing and reading letters

Syed Badrul Ahsan has an interesting piece on Writing and Reading Letters at the Daily Star website.

In part, he says:

"Time was when we used to write letters. It was an era when people made contact with one another, and over long distances, through letters. Something of the intensely personal came with those letters, something of communication between one heart and another. The beauty about letters was that the soul came with it. Feelings embedded in the heart simply poured forth and once they all came to be encapsulated in letters, we felt something of a burden lifting from us."
