Memorabilia

The hand written tasks are decreasing day by day. We are into texting messages or typing emails rather than posting letters. Reading books is near to extinction. In this scenario definitely we need to stop and look back. Take a breath and think a bit about writing.

Writing means to gather our thoughts, give them the form of understandable sentences and then transfer them on to the paper or even typing the keyboard (as I'm writing now :) Though typing equals writing electronically, my focus is on writing by hand. As we learned to write, the hold between the thumb and the other fingers of the hand to fix the pencil or pen in the position to write determined the grace of the handwriting of a person.

What happens when we write with hand?
IT connects a person with the words that flow from the mind to the hand. This creates a feel of commitment. To be precise - scientifically, the connectivity and the flow of thoughts into words create a memory path in the nerves. This helps in the retaining most of the information shared or noted. This allows the brain to focus on the data and understand it better.
If we are taking notes, there will be lesser chances of confusion in finding important points of the information.

The process of hand writing creates a mental picture of the information in the writer. In a way, it helps in increased levels of imagination/visualisation.

Some more scientific revelations:
* Writing can actually calm our brain down. This makes it a perfect winding-down activity at night. May be writing in the diary suits us more now!
* Practicing brain-flexing tasks like writing by hand can help keep our minds sharp. What about filling the quiz in the news papers?
* Writing by hand, particularly in cursive, is rhythmic, so it helps your erratic thoughts get in a calming flow. Why not go for a copy writing book now :)
* Writing by hand that are more artistic than typing because each person’s handwriting is completely their own. Yes and the old school note books still hold that nostalgic innocence fragrance in them and we love to preserve them as our memorabilia.

Once you enter the job arena, all work is mechanised. NOWHERE we find a way to use pen and paper, except signatures on cheques or payrolls. What to do then? May be we should find time and create the opportunity to use pen and paper!
