I got a postcard in the mail today! It was the second one in a week! And the icing on the cake was that the inscription was in rhyme!
I opened the door to leave home when I found it at my feet- carelessly slipped through the door by our postman. My smile widened as I read. I love when the back of the postcard makes me happier than the picture on the front.
Postcards make a lot of sense to me. When one's out vacationing, one rarely gets the time to send details or highlights of one's trip to one's near and dear ones. So, one picks up an overpriced postcard from a tourist-y spot and one scribbles on the address and a note at the back and sends it off. How perfectly perfect. Not to mention convenient.
Although, I do think that if we're going to be charged twenty-five rupees for a postcard, it ought to come with a stamp on it.
I also wish India had more fun stamps, perhaps with our national bird or animal, or with characters from The Jungle Book. Our late Prime Minister is really tired of being pasted all over the place.
