An Autograph

When there is only one more month to go to step down from college life,I think of my school days where we used to be busy writing autographs and slam books.Every one had their turn to write something for their friend to remember them for a life time.
Slam book is much professional in which we are asked to write our details including hobbies, favourites and very personal information.There is a last line at the end of the page devoted to write an autograph or 'message for your friend'.
Autographs are much cuter.We can write anything and everything in that.Many of my school friends had wrote wonderfully in my autograph though most popular lines seen all over were "I won't forget you even if I die","Remember me always" and "Friendship forever"...
Now autographs have disappeared with social networking sites and mobiles coming into the scene.Within five or ten years, school and college students won't even know what an autograph or slam book mean...
Now I can contact all my friends through orkut or g-talk,but I really miss those books which talked without artificiality and formality.It had a warmth,a tone of love and affection that never fades...
