PenFriendship #JodeyDilonKo
They say ' Pen is mightier than sword ' , I say 'Pen is more Lovely , Emotional and Delicate than a Rose' . The plain Pen connects the people across cities and countries alike . My Penfriendship with my German Penfriend Diana Blum proves it.
In the late '80's , the Internet was not common , so the only affordable means of communication for school-girls like me was AirMail-Letters for PenFriendship. It was considered UberCool in my school to have penfriends from Foreign countries. We the schoolmates had at least 2 or 3 penfriends from UK , USA and USSR. I was the only one having a German Penfriend. The letters I received from Diana were put up on our school notice-board , to encourage others students.
Our teachers thought , if we cultivate this hobby of Penfriendship , our writing skill will improve tremendously . Our teachers' vision was right. We loved writing letters , exchanging foreign stamps , stickers and birthday gifts with our Penfriends. My penfriendship with Diana lasted through out college. Now a days she is a famous model in Germany.
