Lines are burning this time of the year. I am sure of that! Love ones who are on the other side of the planet are finding ways to communicate online with their love ones in the country. Vice versa. I know because I’ve been there. Actually one of my very good friends is in the other side of the planet now and we use Facebook and Gmail chat to communicate with one another.

I remember the time when only snail mails and voice tapes were the means of communicating with love ones abroad. It took days, sometimes weeks, before a message would found its way to the hands of the recipient. No wonder so many people working and living away from their families found it hard to cope with the loneliness and the homesickness. But these days, just booting up the computer, going online on whatever means of communication you prefer is enough to ease the loneliness and homesickness of someone living on the other side of the planet.
