In the Wonderland!

"..One side will make you grow Taller...

and the other side will make you grow shorter..."

Now!!! All of us have heard that...I imagine myself tumbling down the rabbit hole and standing admist the giant mushrooms talking to Mr.Caterpillar...Many of us might have had the same feel when our teacher read the story of Alice to us...But little did we know, what made Lewis Carroll think of such a wonderful story which would be read across the whole world even century's later..

Alice is almost 150 yr old today and was written in 1865, exactly three years after the Lewis Carroll and Robinson Duckworth rowed in a boat up the River Thames with three little girls...Lorina,Alice and Edith..The three girls were the daughters of Henry George Liddle, the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church.

To while away time Lewis Caroll told the girls a story that, not so coincidentally, featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure...The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. After a lengthy delay — over two years — he eventually did so and ever since the book has never been out of print. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been translated into 125 languages and is considered enormously influential among the kids...

I read this somewhere "To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy - and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful"... this could be true...

Minutes go by,hours go by, days go by and so does an year... I wonder about the real world..I sense, Fantasy does hold a great deal for me... At least to Me and My Mr.Caterpillar...

"We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality..."
