Beats of My Heart

This the time to send and receive new year greeting cards. I have picked up some beautiful greeting cards today. I am checking the addresses of near and dear to post the greeting cards.
Problem is I have to go to nearest postal office to buy stamps. One of my friends suggested, I should have a look at E-cards. E-cards are easiest way to send the new year greetings. But, I prefer to send the cards through post. I feel they convey the message better than e-cards. Because the post cards we send, not only express new year’s greetings, but also express our taste in selecting them. My friends sometimes admire my selection of cards.
I always keep good greeting cards I received on my desk, or stick them to fridge door. They remind me the persons who send those exotic pictures as long as they are intact. E-cards on the other hand may serve the purpose, but they might be ignored in piles of other mails. Besides that paper materials are environment friendly and easily recyclable.
Sending greetings serve other purpose too. Since I am a philately hobbyist, I always encourage and request others to send me some beautiful stamps. Those tiny stamps attract everyone’s attention.
Today, we all are much dependent on e-mails. And the exotic stamps are a rarity. Postal stamps reflect the origin country’s culture and life.

Anyway, I am in favor of sending greetings through post, and on my way to post office. What about you ?..
