Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place to another. It is an exchange of information from the sender to the receiver with the message being understood as intended by the sender. It is a two way interactive process and it can be found in our personal as well as in our daily personal lives. It involves intents and efforts from both the sender of the message and the receiver.
