I
opened up a facebook page for my group of Medical College and closely
see that it expected the Viewer to act on inviting phrases: ' write
something '.
Before I answer I happen to play with these words for a while. The phrase seems to be a flaw with the literal for me. It must be said ... ' Type ' of something and not writing. A
few years ago when writing with a pen became a habit for most writers
(as PCs and laptops that are affordable for most), people often say '
write ' (i.e., using a pen and paper) and say ' type ' when using a
typewriter.
Just today I came across an interesting story from the book ' the continent Of Circe ' by Nirad c. Chaudhuri. Once, his friend, the writer Khushwant Singh has lent her new typewriter was a friend, a talented Bengali poor economy. All was good until the name Khushwant Chaudhuri in an interview as one of the writers who like to read. But this is not without salt. He said, "the poor he can't even buy a typewriter,! So I had to lend him one. " Nirad dumbfounded that his country's poverty made into delicious dishes for the readers. So this ' poor ' Benglee his last possessions were stripped of ... his pride and prestige. After reading this story, I realized that the ' writing ' on a typewriter isn't so rare then.
But because the gentlemen who ' write ' (not typed) in the United Kingdom, it may. Vernacular writers I think till date choose to write (literature with pen and paper). But,
if we are talking about people in General, in the current time, it is
still true because now the term has become a synonym. How many of us actually writing a letter or even a post card with birthday wishes handwriting strokes of our emotions?
Life
has come on fast forward mode for the most part, the communications
explosion has connected people with the click of a mouse, and one can
communicate with the ' number of n '-a desirable desk in a fraction of a
second. Of course, it is now customary to invite
relatives and friends via mail (via the internet) rather than take
trouble completing the long, exhausting, organized way to write dozens
of letters to many people, and then fix them with gum (very often we see
most of the fixtures barely noticeable at home when needed) before
dropping them in the mail a mile away, hoping at least half of them will
reach their destination in time. All this suffering has become a thing of the past, thanks to modern technology.
This morning, a Sunday, I had the chance to chat leisurely with 80-year-old who is a good listener. I reveal how the charm of seeing old letters and manuscripts is gradually growing rare and rarely last more than a decade. One
can find many hidden gems in the papers ... like the quality of
handwriting, mood and character of the person when writing it (whether
it's perfect, organized, calming, or vice-versa). In
the script of Tagore is usually we see that the author used to convert
invalid section of the line, the words or the full column to a variety
of people who have a unique art form. It added to the charm of the main stream of his poetic creations and themes. Whether
the Tagore sitting with a computer with software to make Bengali poetry
Avro (I should know about software from my dear friend Siddhartha I
dear m. address as ' Sidhdha Mukh ' and most of all, he doesn't mind it
being used and ... can be abused by me), how on earth would this gem
fell out of his fingers (instead of ' hand ' ... again, I try to be '
honest ' clinical as we use the entire hand in writing and only the fingers while typing). We will, as a result only get part of it through the genius of modern techniques of ' writing '. It will be an abject-dina products that very 'un-Tagorian '.
The point is, with the all-round construction of us unconsciously accepted typing and writing as a synonym. But
in this case the smooth transformation of the norm and practice a lot
of the charm has been lost which bore a sense of humanity which includes
qualitative dimension of inspiring and thought-provoking (like the
colorful Rainbow). What we have to offer in its place is flavorless, dull, stereotyped, charmless, colorless method of expression.
