There came a time, he realized, when the strangeness of everything made is increasingly difficult to realize the strangeness of anything.

The above lines perfectly depict my current mood...:). I wanna be in 'Shangra-La' today. wondering what I am talking about? Shangra-La is a fictional, mystical valley described in the book - 'Lost Horizon', a book by James Hilton. It contains all of the classic ingredients of paradise.

Who doesn't dream of such a place which is simultaneously placid and intellectually invigorating - I am dreaming one all day today!. A place made for the heat and the heart where both live in happy unison to a ripe age! That would be so perfect!..:D
