MJ-The Smooth Criminal is no more!

Michael Jackson - so famous as 'King of Pop' is no more. He succumbed to a massive cardiac arrest in a LA afternoon, leaving behind some controversy regarding the cause of his death : whether it is his over-medication or greed of his coterie or extreme mental and physical exhaustion for rehearsals on This is it concerts or his over-dependency on deadly drugs or god knows what !

Anyways coming to real terms world has seen the end of an extraodinary human life. MJ is some way was the best thing at the best moment.

Well coming to my side of story, I have heard/read the charm of legendary man 'MJ' quite a number of times during my growing-up. Memomy of his encounter with the city of Mumbai (then 'Bombay') is still very strong in my mind. When I was a young kid growing up in eastern Indian town of Cuttack, I strongly remember how the entire world(so to say India) was madly following his stay at some 5-star lodge(20-something floor of the sea-facing Oberoi) in Bombay, his extravagant show in Andheri (I guess it is Andheri Sports Complex), his show of gesture to Indian fans and kids in hotel and on road, and all the more hubble bubble surrounding that. Also I can remember the pandora-box like legal encounters which he faced being on allegation of a child sex abuse. Also I can remember that I was introduced to the collection of the ageless music and videos of his albums of eighties (Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Moon Walk, Beat it !, They dont care about us , so on ...) during my engineering days either directly by my friends or by exploring Kgp's infamous LAN. His Moon Walk turned into an icon. I like the music of 'Smooth Criminal' and 'They dont care about us'.

But anyways Thanks MJ for leading such an wonderful life !

Let me end with lines of his 'Beat it!'

Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right
