Sad and In Deep Pain – I Lost My Mentor, My Inspiration

The man whom I worship like god, the man who always been an inspiration for me to do good in life and make efforts to achieve my dreams, I grow listening to his music , the man who was like a father to me , just like my brother, my mentor and my guide Michael Jackson is no more.
I wake up this morning and stunned to hear this news, black Friday, I’m still not in a position to believe that he has gone. And yes in some way it’s true I feel with his music legacy he will be with us all the time.
As I told you I’m very big fan of Michael Jackson, when I was in college I used to sign his songs a lot and try to imitate his unique dancing style. I still remember when once I performed one of his songs and steal the show in college talent show. His songs always fill you with great energy. When he was in India in 1996, there were these final university exam of mine were going on, I missed the big opportunity to watch his live show. Thinking at that time that there will be more such events will come in future do not knowing that this is his first and last visit to my country. And I will never ever get a chance to see him.
I remember when I lost someone very close to me a few years back; I tune in to one of his song “gone to Soon” and cried all the night. Some time I am confused whether he is a good dancer or a better singer or a great composure or a great poet or a great actor. Actually he was a complete package of entertainment, liveliness and performance.
My Four Year son aditya Sings his songs
When I got married to shivani and have this cute little baby named Aditya I’m very surprise to see that this four year little boy prefer to listen to his song than of anyone else. Heredity, you can see in one of the YouTube video here how my little cute son is dancing on Michael Jackson’s song ‘don’t care about us’.
I started this blog on his birthday
And this not a co-incidence, he always been an inspiration to me, so when I decided to start blogging I started it on his birthday 29th August.
Larger than life
Whatever Michael did its always larger than life, his “Doing Big” attitude always encourages you to brace yourself and do good in life, despite the fact that am not from a very financially strong background I achieved a lot in life and proudly can say that a big part of it is belong to this attitude of doing BIG in life which I borrow from the king of pop Michael Jackson, that’s why I call him my mentor, you can’t imagine how much pain I am going through since I heard this news of his death. I never met him in life but I have learned a hundred and thousand of things from the man.
Receiving phone calls from my family and friends on his sad demise
My brother and other family members knows that how much I love his music and how much I admire him, they are calling me consolidate me. I am feeling like I have just lost someone very close to my heart. The vacuum is big and deep, I don’t know how I would come up from this reconcile this sorrow.
RIP Michael Jackson
I am like broken and shattered inside, can’t pour more word here, leaving you with one of my favorite song and some picture of the legend.
I will pour in some more stuff about him all through next month.
Loss is deep, I pray Jujus for his soul to rest in Peace.

Condolence Shanker and to the rest of us who are Michael Jackson fans. I also can’t believe it when I saw the news in the local tv so I switched to CNN and it was confirmed already.
You were the first who came to my mind upon hearing the news, knowing how much you idolize him. MJ is “Gone too soon.” May he rest in peace. He’s such a big loss to the music industry. He’s gone but his music and memories lives forever.

Jackson was enormous talent misused and misled by the coterie and greedy people around him. I just loved him the way he was till about the time he released Billie Jean – there after it was all about scandals and erraneous lifestyle.
Nevertheless, it is like hard to find natural talent… just loved the way the moonwalker performed Billie Jean…
RIP

If you cannot face him to do this, perhaps you could compose a little note to express where you are at in your head. Don’t hold back anything relevant. It will be very important, especially if you will not see him for the whole summer.

Chances are she doesn’t have facebook/myspace (she is a little old for that) but even when I look up her name so many come up and so many don’t have pictures.

She has a very common last name, and when I type her into facebook/myspace so many people with her name come up, but so many don’t have pictures or where they live.
