Lyrics of 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 Image credit ("Peace on Earth"):  http://globalsolutions.org/files/public/images/EOY-LandingPage-500w.jpg

1. Millions of Bangladeshis are going through tense days and nights. The deepening political crisis, the extreme rigid stance taken by the polarized political parties and the pending general election coming up on January 5, 2014 that the main opposition parties have boycotted, all point to another vicious cycles of bloody confrontations between the current government and its oppositions. December is a sensitive month for many Bangladeshis. This is the month when this nation got its independence after a brutal war against then the West Pakistani soldiers in 1971. This is the month when countless many intellectuals, artists, writers, professors, engineers, doctors, poets, civil officers were routed and murdered in that painful war. And this is the month when Bangladeshi freedom fighters with friendly collaboration from the neighbouring Indian army defeated the occupiers and its local enablers after resisting in a nine month long genocidal war. Bangladesh is a proud nation. It has ...

Instrumental music of an 19th century beloved song that was originally composed by James Lord Pierpont in 1857. Merry Christmas. Song lyrics: Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtail ring' Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way; Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride And soon, Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side, The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot He got into a drifted bank And then we got upsot. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way; Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open s...

Instrumental music of "Amar Shonar Bangla" - a song of Rabindranath Thakur (Tagore). This song is the national anthem of Bangladesh. This music is dedicated to the memories of millions of Bangladeshi people who lost their lives and millions more who were injured in the terrible war of 1971 and the valiant freedom fighters, artists, musicians, writers, students, professors and many known and unknown souls, whose bravery and courages to realize the dreams of having an independent nation free from discrimination and oppression came to be fulfilled but at the painful cost during and after the war, and though there are often the usual bickering, squabbling, political violence flare up time to time, the essence of core humanity for which this new nation called Bangladesh was born on this day, December 16 of 1971, the struggle continues to this day. The hope is that the new generation will de-clutter all the accumulation of senseless tit for tat cycles of vengeance, and will one ...
