April 21. “Button, why don’t you talk of Fluffy anymore? Is he around? Is he well?”

“Fluffy’s fine. His business isn’t doing too well because of the recession and he’s worried.”

“I didn’t know Fluffy is a businessman! That’s interesting. What does he do?”

“He runs a mail delivery system for the feathered class called On Time Delivery.”

“Why isn’t it doing well?”

“It’s obvious. Who writes letters these days? These are email times and our feathered friends too are staying in touch with each other through gmail and yahoo, Facebook and Twitter which are also free.”

“Understandable. That explains why I don’t hear his call.”

“The whole process of writing or printing out letters, putting them into envelopes, sticking stamps on them and delivering them to their destination seems so aged and time consuming. This is the phata-phat generation. Which is why the sms works like a dream where you don’t even need to spell right!”

“Short message sending is a dream come true. It’s even better than sending emails which is read by the other person only when he accesses his mail.”
