Pen in between the lips: A thought.

Lecturer in English
See interview of Atma Prakash Nayak

In pre-computer days when a writer found his mind empty, he would bite his pen and helped himself/herself stir his/her imagination to produce some stuff of lasting impression. Pen in between lips and a beating heart used to splash the colours of life on paper. But, now when we press on the keypads to draw our feelings we have nothing like pens to bite. Our writings now lose that close physical proximity and those magical love-bites. Previously, the pen used to configure a handwriting which was unique to the writer but now the use of keypads can at best change the fonts, which are always definite in shape and style and so monotonous. Pen worked with the elements of both mind and body. But with the keypads the elements of body are greatly transformed into some electronic signals. So, can we hope that with advancement of science we will be able to write more electrifying or electric stuff?
