Technology too plays a crucial role. You think that you will be in constant contact with each other since either you are Facebook friends or have a WhatsApp group, but talking face to face is a lot different than chatting online or writing to each other.

I was truly happy for the first time in months and couldn’t stop smiling the whole day.

Even when people say that you write your own destiny and that you influence things around you, sometimes you actually cannot do anything but wait for things to
