Letters are the 'write' path to keeping in touch with friends

The year 1990 was a particularly eventful one for me. It was the year that my schoolmate left for foreign shores for higher studies, while I left my hometown for a distant city to pursue my Master's degree.

I also "mastered" another skill: writing letters.

When my schoolmate left for Portland, Oregon, United States, to pursue his Master's in engineering on May 30,1990, we had an unwritten agreement: we would write letters to each other as often as possible.
