Lit Up German Shepherd Kennedy • New Year’s 2020 Night Walk — IMRAN®

Lit Up German Shepherd Kennedy • New Year’s 2020 Night Walk — IMRAN®

Six years ago, on the first night of New Year 2020 — just two weeks before K2 was going to be born on February 17 — my precious German Shepherd joined me for a quiet late‑night walk. His bark could stop any would‑be troublemaker in their tracks, yet his sweet, gentle nature was always the truest part of him.

That night he also got his first taste of being “lit up” for the New Year, proudly wearing a yellow LED collar and a flashing red lamp as we stepped into the start of a new decade.

Introducing "Happy New Year, Same Old Genocide" — IMRAN®

While the world was counting down and raising glasses on the night of December 31, 2025, I was occupied with the QUANTUM LAIR creating a different kind of New Year’s message — one that refuses to pretend everything is fine just because a calendar flipped a number, but the world did not turn a page.

So many sing to celebrate fireworks and fresh starts My heart's song is for millions who don’t get either

Few sing songs about shattered bodies, broken hearts The world could speak up, or fight — but does neither

For the people whose midnight brings no relief For the names erased, daily grief beyond belief

Innocent children living — dying — daily in fear Voices the cold world keeps choosing not to hear!

A new year means nothing if we carry the same silence into it. So I created a different kind of Happy New Year song as a reminder — and a refusal. We cannot toast to new beginnings while choosing to look away from ongoing suffering.

If you believe art should confront reality, not escape it… If you believe music can still speak truth when worlds collide and words fail… Then this is the song I made for you.

New Year's Day First Sunset & Full Moonrise At Dusk Over Frozen Seaside Long Island NY - IMRAN™

I cannot describe how frigid and frostbite inducing cold the weather was on this New Year's Day as I drove from my East Patchogue home to Bellport dock on Long Island in New York. 
The Great South Bay had been frozen solid for a few days. There were some parts of water visible here but at my home beach sheets of ice several feed high were piled on where the sandy beach was supposed to be. Even in the few minutes I stood there to record some videos and take some photos, I was feeling my hands losing all feelings. 
You can see how the first sunset of the new year also coincided with the blood red full super blue moon which was rising on the other side. Other brave souls, more bundled up than me, had even come with tripods to capture the moment to remember forever. 
I am so blessed to have seen such magical creations of God.

Welcome to Imran Anwar's IN MY HUMBLE OPINION

Good morning, and a Happy New Year. It is that time of year, when resolutions are made, and even implemented - at least for a while. For the last few days, I have been furiously working on a list of resolutions - from 1995. OK, I am exaggerating, but not by much. ;-)



It IS amazing how quickly time (and life) pass by, and so many of our plans, desires, resolutions, promises, etc. fall, or at least, drop, by the wayside, as the business of "stayin' alive" makes demands on our time. And that is so for those of us lucky enough to be "stayin' alive" - unlike the hundred(s) of thousands either killed or devastated by the twists of fates, from wars they did not start to tsunamis, from murderers to malaria-carrying mosquitoes, from HIV rolling over countries to lousy Ford SUVs rolling over.



So, more than anything else, I resolve to do the things that I know are important. Important enough, they HAVE to be done - to have made life worth living. Wish me luck, say a prayer, and read on .....



To paraphrase Jerry McGuire... Help me help ME to help me do those things by reading these pages I write, linking to them, sharing them with others and encouraging us all to communicate better, to understand better, to make our lives, and the world, a better place. Amen/Aameen. And, thank you.
