Sands of Time slipping by .....

Another year gone by; at the ede of stepping into a new year
with a brave face and a firm step
hoping for a year thats good in every way.

How was this year? was eventful. That about sums it up I guess.

Lets see what a new calendar brings about !

Wishing You a year exactly like you would want it to be.

Peace.

A tribute to John Lennon

Imagine ..
such a powerful word and a song by the same name from John lennon .. has become a byword for peace anthems and a message of Love. I dont know much abt the Beatles and the members .. much before my times .. but when I heard the solo from John Lennon, I connected instantly.
Simple lyrics, asking to be heard .. a plea, a prayer for a better tomorrow, for a world free from war and conflicts .. for a future that John must have seen and wanted all of us to have, no boundaries separating us
Imagine
25 years to the day yesterday, Dec 8th, when he was shot dead, and still his message is just as powerful, if not more relevant today .. and the proof? People still havent given up on the world, since the day 25 years ago when the world went mad and shot John Lennon and still there are people out there full of Hope and optimism, of a free world .. of utopia you may say?

You may say I am dreamer, But I am not the only One ...

Imagine
Can you?

************************
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
************************

Peace.
