Aeroplane, train, bus, car, bike.
Wired phone, mobile phone.
Internet.
All have shrunk the globe. Today, a person living across the globe knows what's happening here within the second. One can travel to the other side of the globe in a max of 48 hours.
And yet, the distances between our hearts have become longer. The sense of belonging is much less, and we have but a few minutes to spare for our friends and relatives.
Is this what growing up is all about?
Is it worth it - this growing up?
To leave people behind, to leave friends behind, to leave family behind, and think only of the self?
Cartoon of the day: A 2-yr old sits up in the bed and says, "I discovered a truth today. I am the centre of the universe."
