write a paragraph on "my rough note"
Answers
Answer:
Just before the start of a new school year, my father used to pull out all the class work and home work notebooks I used in the previous year and tear out all the left over pages from them. He would then cut all the pages to the same measurement and take them down to a binder to get it sewn and bound. This book would have on an average 300 pages, some of which were single rule, some broad rule, some double rule and some plain. This book then would be my ‘rough book’ for the new school year. A book in which I could do all math calculations, doodle, or write notes (when I forgot the main notebooks). It used to be the book I could fall back on.
But, of course this was in school.
I have always loved stationery and, notebooks and pens have specifically been a very integral part of my life. However, as life moved towards digital, the need to write things down physically started to disappear. Writing was out & typing was in. In the one-off instance I did take notes in a book, I heard people asking, ‘you could type all that you know? and, have it synced across all your devices?’, ‘Why are you writing? don’t you have a phone/laptop with you?’; I found myself writing less and less. But, the appeal and allure of pen and paper never completely faded. Just like you never give up your childhood dreams, I held onto pen and paper in some corner of my mind, even if it was just for nostalgia sake. When I’d walk into a book shop’s stationery section and find new pens and notebooks, I’d long to buy them. But, argue against it, thinking, ‘why waste money? you are already getting the same work done, probably much more cheaply and efficiently’. Well, I couldn’t counter that.
