World is Huge!

World is huge! But that is not a problem. The problem is that we solved the problem.  Distance doesn’t exist these days.

In 490 B.C. greek messanger Pheidippides ran around 240 kms in a strech. His job was to ask for help and then to carry the message of victory. The greeks won over Persia but the messanger died  of exhaustion.The legend of Pheidippides inspired the modern day Marathon.

Had Phedippides been in today’s world, things would have been very different. He had to apply for passport, visa , book tickets, pay the hike in visa fees(Assuming that this time he will go to USA. ), go through immigiration check and testify that his name is not Khan. Will he inspire anybody this time? I doubt!
