Sometimes imagination is everything ...
( four words from jane austen )
....

....
....
This could well be just a piece of random arbitrary keys pressed together...or could well be the design of a chess board ... when kept unarranged would look something like this making no sense at all....
....
....
....
....
Yet ... with a little bit of imagination ... could explain it as a road with police dividers on either side and the two similar ones on the left kept as if to limit the traffic flow....
it could also be a freeze frame of a video game screen where there is a race going on and there's one "car" leading and well on its way across the 'chequered flag'...
and yet it could mean just nothing ...
its this imagination ... this power to think of the unthinkable which so separates each from the rest... the various interpretations ... the various thoughts to cross the mind ... the various arguments put forth silently in the mind ... the criss-crossing of the ideas that crash and well clash ... the real whacky ones coming out in the open ... and then hushing it all up n rebuking oneself for being so very whacky with a wry smile ...
its this imagination ... which dreams big ...sometimes being mean... sometimes being unselfish ... makes you cry while thinking of the future as a living hell... makes u smile n happy while imagining it to be a smooth road ... gives you the power to laugh while thinking of the funny memories and gives you a high while looking ahead at the bed of roses ... suddenly realizing the presence of thorns and then thinking of fighting & sweating & struggling it out... and imagining yourself to be so very defeated ...
its this imagination ... whch solely with the capacity to imagine so very reservedly changes your life ... keeps you updated with the present and keeps you in touch with the future ... so why does everyone run away from this power always belittling it... am not saying that everyone despises imagining .. am neither saying one should always imagine things ... but why are most of the people criticized for imagination? controversial statement,huh ? you bet it is ... but aren't most of the students told off for day-dreaming ? arent we always reminded that imagination leads us nowhere,its just the reality-check which will keep us alive ? many of you who will read dis piece will say "no way , imagination is in big time and keeping it active in various forms through the creativity all around need the power of imagination .. so what are you speakin?" .. but thats a very small percentage ... how many of those around us are really very genuine?? how many really do exercise their creativity?? most are more deeply engrossed in the books of success and would rather let curbing their natural flair for creative ideas for the mere craving for fame ... trust me, not everyone has the power to day-dream... its always been propagated that its a mere waste of time ... but only those who really understand the art and feel it will be able to say that it can help you tide over various things in tandem ... and yes its an art ... and an art with the unique ability to overlap emotions ,wishes ,hopes ,dreams and reality ...
So why not dare to dream and day-dream as well and keep the imaginative juices flowing...??
and why not with the late john lennon with his " imagine "
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
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
