POSTBOX
Scintillating
memories evoke,
The
red box at the corner road,
Visiting
the place for childhood often,
Drop
post cards envelop, remember,
Visible
easily at every street corner,
Invaluable
service for generation,
In
remote villages, it was only a help,
Faithful
service was inconceivable,
Only
medium to communicate far,
An
age absent rural telephones,
Postcard
our milestone to inform,
Exchanging
information needed,
Cities
were growing with time,
Rural
people migrating for work,
Avenues
of life postcard duly linked,
Money
orders, the way to send money,
Texts
under money order with cash,
Family
in villages, men in cities,
Children
going to distant colleges,
Postbox
was regularly attended to,
Postman
collects letters in time,
Deposited
at a post office in slots,
Post
bags were transported in a van,
Far-flung
areas sent by train,
Mail
through flight for urgent one,
Telegram
is possible in the post office,
Looked
at a postbox near home,
Stream
of thought passed linking,
Modern
life is innovative adoptive,
The
new method of letter travels,
Courier
then email got popular,
Searches
none postbox recently,
Many
things are required in our life,
Vanishing,
phased out gradually,
HMT
watch fountain pen missing,
Lantern
pillars at street corners miss,
Postbox
lingers, fighting for life,
Our
generation still love post office,
Need
postbox, drop the parcel in packets,
Courier
killer service parallel job,
Private
efficiency defeats center,
The fax was convenient for people,
Sending
letter pads by digital copy,
On
telephone lines transmitted,
Reprints
a fax machine at the other end,
Telephone
and fax transformed,
Digital
age quick delivery feature,
Fewer
people search postbox, thus,
Poor
people require its service,
In
remote villages, life needs it,
Village
post offices for population,
Easy
for children to drop mail,
Senior
people prefer to visit,
Drop
the letter and forget,
Trust
for postal service nostalgic,
Old
habits, dying hard,
Remember
places to find the red box,
Symbol
of yesteryears for mail,
Timeless,
loved as a shining glory.
