Hubz comes from a big family. Recently a second cousin of his met up with a bad accident and was admitted in a hospital in Kochi. We got to know from a family member back home post which we left home to pay him a visit. Few minutes into the conversation we realized that he was actually getting treated by a doctor who was against a distant cousin (we are in touch with) but the patient didn’t even know!
In a similar incident, a cousin in Calicut who is a teacher got talking to a fellow teacher only to realize in the end they both were related!!
Our generation has become so busy and spread so wide that it has become difficult to keep in touch, so people say! If you ask me, that’s a lamest excuse anybody can think of. For if you wish you surely can!
To put an end to these embarrassing situations, we have decided to hold annually family reunion where the three generations can come together, bond and know each other better. 1st May is the day this year designated for the get together and we are all so excited. 
All it takes is effort on your side to keep in touch with your friends and family. With people crossing borders in pursuit of their growing careers, imagine a world where you have a family member / friend in each country? Possible, only if you make an effort.
Thats so cool! Make sure you collect all the infomation and put it together in some form..like a orkut group or a email group or something to keep in touch. My dad actually learnt html and webpage creation to create a site based on my grandpas book of family members…it has information on more than 6 generations! http://www.theanand.com/myroots/
