Fragrance of pastel shaded scented papers mixed with those
of flowers, unique and special handwritings, using of starry elaborate words to
communicate. All this assisted the traditional and “once upon a time proposals
and love.”
Sadly as technology gained prominence everything came behind a monotonous dull screen. It made communication so easy that the old and reverential idea of love receded to background. There was a time when the romance depicted in novels and book, plays and movies was as real as the land and sea. That romance was mad, extraordinary, exquisite and real. The person could feel it in each and every nerve.
Proposals where one could feel the love brimming inside through the eyes, where one could sense the evidently radiating nervousness and where one could mirror the extreme ecstasy conveyed through the lips that couldn’t help but smile; are now extent. They have taken the form of text messages and calls in which a person can neither feel nor see the exclusive beauty of the moment.
The importance of touch, expressions, tears and smile remains the same but people nowadays hardly get to experience them. It’s all through the gadgets.
What if epic romances like Romeo Juliet, Pride and Prejudice, Caesar and Cleopatra, Gone with the Wind had no descriptions of intense feelings, heightened emotions, pain of separation, and happy climax through perils of miscommunication? Would anyone read them? Would they have gained the place they have now?
Technology, as is expected of it, has made things easier and yet it has taken away the very essence of life.
