Long-Distance


“World is a small place these days”, said a friend. Indeed it is. With advent of technology, and advancement in communication techniques, your loved ones are just a click away.

Really??

We may be able to see, talk and be fully updated about our kin, but can technology provide us the ‘touch-therapy’? I may be able to look into my lovers eyes through a Web-Cam, but can I peck him back for that look? I may be able to speak comforting word, but can I hold my friends hand when they are distressed? Can I hold my new-born niece?

Distance makes the hearts grow fonder. Tripe, I say. Well, almost! Distance makes you pine which may also leave you with a bad taste in mouth. A long-distance relationship, in my opinion, cannot survive unless tended to, painstakingly. The travail of making ‘the hearts grow fonder’ may as well sap you out completely.

Thus I pray…’May distance too, part us not. Amen.’

  2. This is precisely what I mean, when I say 'unless...' Understanding n all isn't that easy by end of the day, as there is bound be difference of opinion between two individuals; which, again, the 'long-distance' makes a little difficult...

    I hope I am able to put forth my point Mr. Anonymous. :)
