The Alipore Posts latest initiative, Chitthi Exchange, is aimed at reviving the pen pal tradition
Remember the pen pal tradition back in the day, before emails, chat rooms and social media drowned the craft of letter-writing? The Alipore Post's latest initiative, Chitthi Exchange, is aimed at reviving the pen pal tradition. "It would be nice to have people connect with each other, write down their feelings, and find new friendships. At a time when everyone is so sceptical of each other, it's a way to get through this pandemic knowing that a stranger is waiting to hear from you," says curator Rohini Kejriwal.
All you have to do is visit their page, sign up for the exchange and answer a few questions, so that they can pair you up with a suitable pen friend based on similar interests and expectations. Kejriwal adds that if you can't physically post a letter, you can also take a picture and share it with them to get it delivered.
