SUNG BY THE MYSTERIOUS CAT FROM THE HIGHEST MOUNTAINS!
MY HIMALAYA - MY KINGDOM, THROUGH WHICH I USUALLY ROAM UNSEEN!
Where the highest peaks rise into the sky and are the dwellings of the gods!
A breathtaking Shangri-La where the sun shines so incredibly bright because it is so close to the tropopause!
A magical wonderland far above any cloud cover!
An often cold but pure place where icy winds whistle and eternal winter reigns!
THE HIMALAYAS - THE SOURCE OF LIFE FOR BILLIONS OF PEOPLE!
Its snow feeds the gigantic rivers that make the lives of over 3 billion people possible in the first place!
That's about 45% of the world's population who depend on the Himalayan rivers for their drinking water, agriculture and industry!
In addition, the Himalayas are the weather divide where the monsoon winds come down!
More than 60% of the world's population, especially in India and southern China, depend on these rains!
Water, thou hast no taste, no color, no odor; canst not be defined, art relished while ever mysterious.
Not necessary to life, but rather life itself, thou fillest us with a gratification that exceeds the delight of the senses.
ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY - (29. June 1900 - 31. July 1944) French aviator and poet. Author of The Little Prince!
