Paperless

Wish that word came true. Unfortunately, not everyone is comfortable about going Paperless. I am a staunch believer in conservation and practice it to the utmost extent possible. When I was at home in Chennai, I remember using the local bus-tickets for writing the grocery list when going to the market. The rear side of the ticket will be blank and this space can be used to scribble something. I believe that if I cannot eliminate the cutting of trees, I can atleast work towards reducing it.

I happened to be browsing around for some tool to place notes on my desktop. Suddenly, I felt like a fairy waved her magic wand and .....poof... I found this. Wow, such a simple and easy tool. Best of all, I can reduce the use of the paper based Post-its. My desktop looks neat as well without all those colorful notes hanging out like ears. Moreover, all the notes are so legible (good way to hide my bad handwriting). I can also include pictures and setup reminders for any to-do tasks. And all of this, right from the desktop. What could be simpler? The free version doesn't offer much of communication features, but I'm pretty happy without it.

I wish everyone could switch to digital media for storage so that we don't need paper anymore. That would ensure the existence of our forests and in turn - us.

I would be the happiest man ever on earth if you even save something as little as a leaf! :-)
