John Lennon's 69th Birthday
John Lennon was a rock musician, singer-songwriter, peace activist, an author, and a founding members of one of the world's most popular band that changed music forever, The Beatles. His birthday falls on the 9th of October, this year being his 69th. This man was shot to death on Dec 8th, 1980.
More on John Lennon - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon
John Lennon's memorial is in Central Park, New York City. We were so very lucky to be in NYC on Oct 9th and this was our tribute to the legend.
'69' is an interesting number, isn't it? you flip it around and you get the same number - John was so much himself when he was a young beatle and even when he was celeberated by the world as an ambassador of peace.
"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"
(PS - The peace symbol is actually missing a leg - you know where!.)

Chinnu , your creativity is wonderful. Not many of this generation know or can appreciate the greatest band ever on the earth --- the Beatles, let alone make such a piece of art. You know who you inherited this trait from

Preeti you have brought fond memories of my childhood back to me as I was a crazy fan of the Beatles....
I liked them in this order - John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and finally Ringo Star.. I was so thrilled when used to hear the song 'Hey Jude' because it had part of my name in it. Many more thoughts rushing through my mind now - thanks for this lovely tribute...
