Imagine there was no country 
No borders to protect 
No temptation to destroy 'others' 
World as a single country 
Wonder what to feel proud of!  
 
Imagine there was no religion 
No selfish feeling around 
No reason to diffuse hate 
Humanity as a single religion 
Wonder what to die for!  
 
Imagine there was no caste or sect 
No superiority or inferiority feelings 
No incentive for discrimination 
Everyone with a desire to excel 
Wonder what can disunite us!  
 
(We extend our deepest condolence to all those who lost their lives in the Mumbai (India)    terror attack on 26 November,2008. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the victims’ families. Lets stand united and pray together. Lets act towards a peaceful and prosperous world.)
