How wonderful to receive such a meaningful and deeply considered message from a stranger. Thanks for writing it, Catherine. And Rajiv, please make these mail call videos a regular feature. Personally, I could happily hear several letters in one sitting.👍🏻
That was my letter and drawing! So happy to see you were excited to receive it :) et merci pour ta belle voix ! où as-tu appris ces belles chansons françaises? and I appreciate your 'secret' - not sure I am brave enough to try it though! Lots of love to you :)
I loved the poem❤
@@candyv4921 Thank you! Here it is written out: :)
Benediction
I think I know with certainty
The secret soul of happiness
It is to let the moment be
Yet live with great deliberateness
Feel the bed beneath you, breathe night air
See the glowing light across the street
Just because some parts of life are hard to bear
You need not miss each moment that you meet
May the ordinary become your consolation
To come into each day as to an altar
So may each dawn repeat your great salvation
And live itself suffice for your hereafter.
Me too!!
The way Rajiv whispers "beautiful" about the portrait radiates such a pure and electric feeling of joy ❤
What a beautiful letter and sketch of your curly locks!
I used to receive the most beautiful letters from a beau. I miss the thrill of receiving and reading them.
My best friend and I used to write each other letters in middle school. I still have them all! In high school, it was notes that now when I look back were letters! Some were several pages long.
Sadly, we don’t even have the pleasure of personal emails anymore. I look back at some emails from 20 years ago and I look at my inbox now and it’s nothing but marketing emails.
I love this mail series!
You make the world a better place, Rajiv ❤
Merci! For singing theses two French songs being a Québécoise and a singer it was pure joy !Amicalement Pauline
I love when you burst into song ! You dear man.
That was a lovely letter. What a sweet person she is .
And of course it’s Édith Piaf - Tu es partout. Delightful!
You are the adult version of Mr. Rogers. I enjoy watching your content.
Such a beautiful poem!
Just becoming aware your Mail Call series. That illustration is beautiful. likeness is on point.
C’est merveilleux!
Nice letter. Very talented person. Love your singing. Best thing I like to do in life. Sing and smile. Both seems to make people happy.
I keep sending letters and cards but only get texts back. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Sad world. ❤
I also write letters but only to friends I aggreed to write each other letters, it's just a 2 of them, but still its a great feeling to receive a hand written letter into your mail, so maybe try to talk to them about it, I bet you find someone interested in classical mail.🙂 I wish you luck to discover your yet hidden penpal 🙂
I know the feeling ….. I have been writing letters since I was maybe 11. I still do…annually to friends and family. I have only received maybe 5 letters back in all these many many years. I get the Christmas cards which now I can count on one hand but it’s just signed and no letter or short note. People use the excuse that stamps are too expensive . You cannot carry your gold coins into the next world …they have no value there . Spend a little to create a legacy of joyful moments for those receiving your letters.
I mail at least 40-45 cards out annually especially to my older aunts and uncles . I just want to bright their day, and share the highlights of my year. I make a copy of my letters so I can re read them when I am older as it serves as a time capsule for me. I hope to leave them with my great grandchildren to read so they will learn about who I was , because I could be in heaven by the time they arrive here on earth. I am an old soul living in this world of texting , texting lacks the intimacy of letter writing and story telling.
I hope people resurrect this method of sharing and communicating ….
It fills your heart and soul like no other thing out there.
Simple, but a beautiful video.
Hi Rajiv, I'm almost positive that your invitation to send you letters will certainly inundate your Post Office. For as for me it makes you much closer and this makes me very happy. Surely many will seek your expertise in many areas of their interests. Happy sunny spring days! Jersey Ann from NJ😃🥰
That portrait is superb!
I can not believe you just started singing a french song in FRENCH!! Is there anything you cannot do!?? Im only 36 seconds into the vid. Omg you cheer me up better than pills!
Great video, hope more to come with them mails!
Thank you, Rajiv, for another beautiful video
Thank you.
Ah that portrait captures your likeness so well, esp your lovely curly locks. And that little bit of wisdom about soap - well, Rajiv, you truly are a wise man. Stay blessed. You are one of my joys in life.
I am also incredibly interested in a video on folk songs! One of my passions, I started the journey of learning the fiddle six months ago to deepen my connection with songs I've been singing since I was fifteen, when I first discovered the American folk music that came to the US from Scotland, England, Ireland along with immigrants from those countries. The history is absolutely fascinating, and the songs touch on the human condition in a way modern music rarely does. Did you know in addition to the oral tradition of passing down big events like battles, (and scandalous entertainment pertaining to love and death) there are hints within these songs to (religious/spiritual) beliefs otherwise lost? It's amazing.
Yes, a video on folksongs would be great! :D
All I can say is MORE MAIL CALLS PLEASE 🥀🌻🥀
You sing those French song beautifully 🤍 I will send you a letter soon too 🪶♥️
you make me want to “savor life”
What a beautiful way to start a beautiful Thursday. You get back the energy you put into the world, so thank you for filling mine with joy. I hope your Thursday is a beautiful day filled with bicycle rides and song.
Another beautiful video. Love this series. Very nice sketch of yourself. ❤️
Beautiful letter and portrait. This would be a lovely segment to do on livestream someday!
You had me at 0:17 when you where excited by the letter from France. And who wouldn't be??!!!
That drawing is incredibly accurate, so impressive!
how delightful.I loved the poem !
I am so happy you mentioned not washing your hair. I never wash mine and my scalp is always clean and my hair stays shiny and healthy. I’ve actually never bought or owned shampoo or conditioner ❤❤ What a magical letter 🙏🏻
I usually watch UA-cam on my television so I often do not leave comments. However I am on my phone this morning. I love your channel! I see so much beauty in all you do and share. It uplifts my spirit. God bless you!!
I went on a no shampoo regime for a while where I washed my hair with a baking soda paste and apple cider vinegar rinse! It worked really well and I just thought today that I should do it again!
I wish that letter included a request for skin care. Can you please kindly share the secret of your beautiful skin? Thank you again for a lovely video and bringing so much joy and peace in my life.
Definitely put that sketch in a beautiful antique frame.
Your the best Rajiv! You keep things simple which i do love, thank you! And i love the letter!
Hi Rajiv: Enjoy your Mail Call 2. Wondering how I can send my interest to the Portrait Artist that created your drawing. I would love to have a Portrait Drawing of my husband and I on our Wedding Day from one of our pictures.
Hi- that's me! I would be happy to help. :)
As a general rule, I don't comment on people's appearance when it is unrelated to the content, but I always notice your hair, it's gorgeous. My hair is incredibly straight, and I've always been envious of people with curly hair, but then they tell me they feel the same way about straight hair. 😂
Rajiv, you are such a ham! 🐽 (lucky for us...) I enjoy the immediacy of your letter-readings -- stumbles and all. Also, please consider making a segment on your acting experience, in the same way as share your numerous other pursuits. Thanks.
Ooh this makes me want to send an elaborately handwritten letter to you, Rajiv! What a lovely thing to hear people’s letters from around the world. Thank you for sharing them with us. And I wholeheartedly agree that no shampoo is best, I recently made the transition to just massaging my hair under hot water every few days and it’s better than ever.
Vinegar keeps the hair soft and healthy
I absolutely adore this series. Thank you, Rajiv 💛
Hi Rajiv.
I agree with not washing hair - but it is easier if you don't have long hair. Shampoo and conditioners were invented for shopkeepers to sell.
My husband and I make our own liquid shampoo using herbs we grow in the garden, including lavender and hibiscus flowers, and our homemade castile soap. We wash our hair about once a fortnight and use our own homemade floral vinegar in between if it's been particularly hot or our hair is very oily. We love our natural bristle brushes. Our hair is more beautiful then ever! I can testify my methods work because I am 62 years old and have never had to dye my hair because I still have all my natural colour. I barely have a silver strand! I've always looked after my hair and never abused it with dyes or perms or other invasive things people do to their hair. The problem is most people do things that dry the hair too much and that, in my opinion, can lead to greying hair.
However grey hair isn't necessarily a bad thing in my opinion, some people can wear it with dignity and style as much as coloured hair :)
@@degrotekoningwouter
Totally agree! I will refuse to dye my hair when the grey does eventuate. Shiny grey or silver hair is beautiful.
I lost the call! 😢 But these videos are soooooo beautiful! And the letters are incredibly lovely
Well said
Love Mail Call! It just makes me giggle! 😊👋🏼
Cecille's letter and portrait were an enchanting joy! And then the hilarious, but oh so true segue into not washing curls with shampoo was quite the unexpected balance. This was awesome!
I just realized that you are the perfect person to ask this question: where can one find personalized stationery - spelling - that isn't just hard card stock? I would be happy to even find the plain letter writing paper that my sisters used when we were children decades ago? Any advice you give would be appreciated. What a great artist the person that wrote the letter was! Handwritten letter. Poem. Drawing. You cannot display that you believe in the personal touches any more than that and they are perfect for you. I love your channel.
What a beautiful poem. So glad you mentioned St. Therese! I noticed her in your kitchen too! ❤
Rajiv we are ready for the no poo method, help us all wean off the soap and cosmetic industry ❤
Rajiv, yes, yes, yes, on the move away from soap on the skin and over washing hair. I tried the wool dress challenge and only washed my dress 2x in 30 days, it never smelled still looks brand new and I realized my grandmother was right, she wore nice woolen and silk and rarely washed anything. She was the most beautiful lady ever!
I just LOVE this series so much! Please continue!
use egg to replace shampoo. hair is clean and shining.
So cool!
Love this and love your vids! Perfectly released in time for some calm and happy bedtime viewing. Thank you and much love from Melbourne, Australia ❤
Hello Rajiv! Thank you for this video and thank you also for sharing Catherine's letter. Your videos are oasis whenever I watch. Merci beaucoup et je vous souhaite un bon weekend! À bientôt!
This is so great!❤
Did you know most or all purchases are based on fear ?
These are just the best! 🐌💌
Her handwriting is lovely
Thank you for sharing
What a beautiful letter and her portriait of you is terrric.
Beautiful letters!! I wish I can see the letter while you read it maybe on the left side of the video ❤
I just found out there is a Hand written letter appreciation Society in the UK. Rajiv you could start one of those. Lots of us would join. You could make a little money from all the thousands of joining fees you would get. What fun we could all have with our own little society of letter writers. 🤔🤔🤔
Ste Thèrèse Of Lisieux.

The last song you sung in French was beautiful! What’s the name?
I agree with your curly hair tips, don’t wash too often and DON’T TOUCH!
Tomorrow (March 17) will mark the 34th anniversary of when l stopped shampooing my hair. The handful of exceptions have been when I dyed my hair twice (over 20 years ago, in my 30s) and once when I got ‘hit’ with bird droppings.
I love everything you do but it's not true that soap was invented only recently and people washed their hair just with water. People used ash made from special plants (I think grapevines) mixed with water which makes some kind of lye and mixed herbs into it to make it smell good. It was an early form of soap. I will definitely continue to use shampoo, no conditioner though. 🙂
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!
So to summarize, you know French, English, Tamil, can paint, play harp, do pottery, handwriting, workout, act, and sing. All at a very high level. My friend, how......
❤❤
It seems like languages come easily to you.
10023 is my old zip code. Miss it so much!
