Another (Propeller / Head) In The Brick Wall - IMRAN™ I loved this aviation showpiece mounted on the wall of the Breitling store at the International Plaza Mall in Tampa, Florida. The lovely Erica is very smart and knowledgeable about the timekeeping masterpieces of that company, which are so popular with pilots. The photo was taken the day before I flew to New York City. Ironically, I’m posting it from my blessed Long Island home where I still safely keep the two Breitling watches I received as gifts over the years. © 2023 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #aviation #aviators #art #watches #engines #aircraft #architecture #wordplay #timepieces #TampaAnother (Propeller / Head) In The Brick Wall - IMRAN™ I loved this aviation showpiece mounted on the wall of the Breitling store at the International Plaza Mall in Tampa, Florida.

Manhattan Moments: Sky/Light Dark Pole / SkyScrapers - IMRAN™ The offset sun’s light peeking from the left edge indicates how bluish bright this stunning day was. The sky light/blue, the dark light pole, the gleaming skyscrapers, and sidewalk view. All that in one iPhone 14 Pro Max photo gave me plenty of wordplay opportunities in lower Manhattan, New York. © 2023 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #NYC #Manhattan #NYC #architecture #landmarks #BlueSky #weekend #autumn #street #travel #travelogue #wordplay #parkManhattan Moments: Sky/Light Dark Pole / SkyScrapers - IMRAN™ The offset sun’s light peeking from the left edge indicates how bluish bright this stunning day was.

Titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max Joins 14 Pro Max, 13 Pro Max, iPad Pro, & More - IMRAN™ I still have a working iPhone 4 and iPad 3 upstairs that I did not have time to add to the Apple mobile device universe in my pockets, or at least on my table. I’m not counting laptops of course (which do NOT fit in my pockets LOL). I have not set up the just-received iPhone 15 Pro Max (still in box) in Titanium blue or whatever. It is lighter than the non-Titanium models, and yet expected to be sturdier. The light blue 13 Pro Max and the white 14 Pro Max show the design similarities across the models. But you can also see subtle changes in dimensions of come elements. I will test the “15” out once I have set it up tonight, God willing. I did not include my decent Samsung mobile in this photo as I despise Android.

As Microsoft's internal #employees listening #Signals kicks off I found this Fast Company article interesting. The signals results are taken very seriously at EVERY level of the company including at the highest levels of #management, which then lead to ongoing conversations and actual impactful changes & improvement. "3 essential types of #conversations #managers should have with their people. Conversations are not just abstract words spoken and heard. They convey #imagination, #commitment, #energy, and #action. Your conversations both express and reflect your #leadership #performance." https://ift.tt/ea61HPL Microsoft's internal #employees listening #Signals kicks off I found this Fast Company article interesting.

Farewell Ode To Blue Eyed Beloveds: Comfortably Numb But Not Feeling Blue, In The Pink (Floyd) Of Health & Happiness - IMRAN™ (You’ll Love The Wordplay & Song References. This Is NOT About Any One Person To Feel PTSD About!) "Hey You", my blue-eyed beloveds, farewell. I must say “Good Bye To The Blue Sky” visions of what could have been. Yeah, sure, I "Wish You Were Here”. But being healthy, happy, and home top everything in the world to me besides family and eternal love. It has been an interesting “Time", not knowing where my adventure would take me. Thankfully during the major neck spine surgery, I was "Comfortably Numb”. There was a critical phase when the doctors had to ensure there were “Signs Of Life”! Fortunately, like “Sysyphus” I was able to beat death not just a second time but a fourth time. But that was absolutely thanks to the grace of God each time. I am grateful to still be "in the Pink (Floyd?) of health!” The incision was "In The Flesh”. But gratefully I am living my life to the fullest. “Allons-y”! I am getting to ride my "Bike" in NY again after surgery too. I am even back to "Learning To Fly” — and you know I am feeling my "Young Lust" all the time. My “Dogs” are doing great too. I will bet good "Money" that "One Of These Days” my past beautiful loves, especially devoted single “Mother” girls, will understand how special they were. I had “High Hopes” each time around. That is why I even said “Bring The Boys Back Home”. But finally, I had to "Run Like Hell”. When “Echoes” of the same negative patterns of behavior become too loud to ignore, they have to be heeded. All that was needed was for a daring “Fearless” soul to open up and really communicate & connect. It only needed choosing not go back into its own self-created darkness. Lights and shadows. Together, they make magic, as we did. Darkness, alone, when a damaged heart & soul are lonesome and lost, is a killer. I tried to protect you from that, darling. I know you tried more than in the past, especially this last year, but kept relapsing. Doing the same thing over and over - and expecting different outcomes each time - is just Whackadoo! It can do “Brain Damage”. That is why I lovingly say, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” in the “Empty Spaces” where a book of ’The Notebook’ of loving memories could have been. Even during the recent “Eclipse” I wondered “Is There Anybody Out There” who can help undo the damage some people choose to hold on to. Sometimes all they have to do is just “Breathe”. I love when my beloveds share “A Saucerful Of Secrets” and I tell them, in the “Paintbox” of my adventure of life, “Any Colour You Like” is available for “Us And Them”. Actually, I “Take It Back”. I am NOT a “Vegetable Man” so green and orange don’t do much for me. My preference for blues and golds of a certain kind is known to everyone. LOL. "One Of My Turns” around the sun I will show my friends and loved ones that I am not always “On The Run” from “The Gunner’s Dream”. I am actually an old fashioned but uncompromising romantic. “One Of These Days” I would love to be singing about “The Happiest Days Of Our Lives”. But I will not follow the masses like “Sheep”. I will only devote myself to an eternal love and live boldly, to go where my loves will “Point Me At The Sky”. Then we would “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun”. If you shared a part of my life as former unique beloveds in recent years, please know, I do understand the prognosis of what comes next for you. I wish I could “Stop” the progress of the condition you face. Even though I am “Turning Away” from the no-win situation, you will be in my prayers for health and living your best lives, “Louder Than Words”. I mean it. I truly empathize about the wounds of your life experiences. Your own addiction to being hurt and abused, when you should have “Run Like Hell” from those people a lot earlier, contributed to it. Please know my prayers and good wishes will continue for your healing. When there is no communications, people stay “Poles Apart”. If people “Keep Talking” and really communicate everything works out beautifully. But if one says “Speak To Me”, and the other is “Lost For Words” then it is like hitting The Wall. Like the “Summer of ’68”, the summer of ’23 became time for me to make “The Final Cut”. My friends & readers, it does not take being Perfect for someone to come along with me on my journey. The most imperfect girl to others can be the most perfect dream-girl and princess to me. I can hold tight in my arms even a nightmare-suffering angel until she is living the dreams on “A Pillow Of Winds”. But only “If" she chooses to be mine, fully and without hesitation, not held back by fear and past experiences. It is about making that choice. Then, as I say, ‘Anything. Anytime. Anywhere!’ becomes our lifelong adventure that writers and songwriters would write about for ages. That is why I send my love to the ones who gave me unconditional love all these years. I send even more to the one(s) whom I am yet to love. I believe in even a short life that is lived 10 times more intensely than a lifetime 10 times as long. I was born for loving so deeply, in a “Flaming” romance so intense, its heat and energy would go beyond the edges of the universe in “Interstellar Overdrive”! Anything less than that, to me, is just…. “Another Brick In The Wall” !!! © 2023 IMRAN™ PS By now you obviously know what music group’s tribute band I went to see in this photo! I did not get to include EVERY Pink Floyd song in the words above but I hope you enjoyed it. The words were not about any one specific person, so I do not want someone from my past reading this and feeling they were attacked, when actually love was the theme!
