To put it simpler, if i do not have a 3-core cable running from one
light switch to the other then what i would like to happen, can not
be done?

It's possible with two by feeding the power in at one switch and out at
the other.

So how is it done? In simple terms please.

Could I ask why? Because it's unlikely you have the required unused wires
running between the switches, and if you have to run new, it's far better
to run a triple and earth to do the job properly.

However, if a feed *from the same circuit* appears at one switch which is
say a two gang type, then this can be used to feed the two way circuit -
wired to the com on the two way switch. You then run only two cables - L1
and L2 to the L1 & L2 terminals of the second switch, and the common from
that becomes the switch feed to the lamp.
