Anup Joseph

# I have an web-based email account. Most of the time I
get junk mail, including at least 10 pornographic mails a day..

Rohini Khatri

#I am a Reiki healer and the first energetic rapport between a healer and the
'healee', which is so vital for treatment is through email. I use emails as
first-aid tools, which work instantly on the person suffering, much before
the actual healing proccess begins.

Rajiv Arora

# I am married and settled in Norway. My family is in India. But I stay in
touch with them via emails and I never miss my friends... I even sent
photographs of my visit to Parist. Email has made the world a very small
place

Narottam Singh

# A graduate from Calcutta, I am doing my MBA student
in Delhi. Thanks to email and chat I share my daily activities with my best
friends in Calcutta. I think I would die if there was no email.

Eva Mohini

# I have a very small familly. Just my mom, dad and
younger brother in Bareilly. I am working in Pune.
Through email I amcontinously in touch with them.
Otherwise I could never think of staying
away from my family.

Mytri

# Email for me has become a passage to India. I now correspond regularly
with my immediate family and cousins who live all over India. I know when they
have their exams. I get to know that they are safe and keeping well. Little
things that would have slipped by are noted through email. Of course, I do
miss seeing my parents hand-written mail. There are tradeoffs. But email is
instantaneous. The pleasure on our faces when we realise that we have mail
is priceless.

Gauranga Bhattacharya

# My daughter wants to pursue higher studies in computer science
abroad. I have got details of potential universities world-wide instantly and with
meagre expenses. Only email made it possible.

Amol Kailash

# Since the September 11 terrorist attacks, I've been exchanging views on
world issues with quite a few Americans. Even though not all of it is
pleasant, most of us have gained from the experience. We now have a better
understanding of each other.

Heart

# If it weren't for email how would I communicate with my penpals?

Indrani Saha

# I met a person who is as close to me as a son, only
through email. I have never felt lonely after that. God bless email!

Anandita

# Though I love them, emails can be so impersonal at times...
Nothing beats a hand-written letter... Nothing!

Bharath

# Email is far better than paper letters.
It can't tear, and our parents can't read it.

Milind Lagwankar

# Within a day of the tragic plane crashes, we knew our
relatives in the US were safe. I even got pictures and
information about my cousin's newborn child.

Kausik Das

# I have friendships with people I have never seen.
I get regular updates from friends who are far far away.
And, most important, within a couple of hours of the WTC tragedy,
I had news from my friend, who had his office on the 88th floor, that he was safe.
Without e-mail my world would simply stop.

B C S Baliga
# Thanks to email, my child who was hospitalised for about a year
due to a major illness, kept in touch with his friends.

Ramachandran P.S
# I am away from my wife since a few months, after almost
25 years of marriage. A letter to the US would take four weeks
to reach. E-Mail has shortened the distance betwen Chennai and the US.


B R S RAO
# Without email, I wouldn't have had a job.

Yagnesh
# I stay in touch with my friends abroad via email. This really
would not have been possible with conventional letters.

Ballu
# I proposed to my girlfriend via email. And, now, whenever
she is angry, I send her a romantic email with a card.
And she always comes back to me.

Rajitha
# My elder sister lives miles away, in Saudi, and I live in Bangalore.
We exchange emails everday, and that makes us feel very close to each other.

Swathy
# When anthrax is being sent as powder in envelopes, email is a saver...


Yagnesh
# A world without email, save me God, I could not even imagine it.
A day in office without mail is like being stuck in the Thar desert without a camel.

Swati Sinha
# If it weren't for email, courtship would not have been
half as enjoyable for me. I live in Delhi, my fiancee in
Bangalore. And making up after a fight has never
been easier ever since we got online.
