Michael Jackson : The Man and the Phenomenon.

 
 
  Michael Jackson, pop singer par excellence, winner of 13 Grammy awards, and many more recognitions, died under mysterious and tragic circumstances on June 25th 2009. He was an "Achiever" in the true sense of the word, having being dubbed ‘The King of Pop’. After years in the entertainment industry, his sudden end has left the average Jackson fan stunned. The world of music can never be the same again.
               Jackson came across as a lonely, enigmatic, and controversial figure. After shooting to stardom in 1982 with the highly acclaimed album, "Thriller", life for this multi-talented artiste was never the same again. A highly publicised  personal life, supporter of as many as 39 charities, and involvement with his "Heal the World Foundation", made him one of the most discussed celebrity of our times. Unfortunately, personal idiosyncracies and obsessions overshadowed his art, and Jackson found himself in the quagmire of accusations, law suits, psychological problems, and unsuccessful marriages. His ever-altering face became a symbol of the confusion and trouble that raged within him.
                 Although he is not with us now, controversy, which seemed to be a hallmark of his life, surrounds his death till today.
May his soul rest in peace.

What he always sought in life, may he find it now and..rest in peace.Snaps improved? Thanks..will keep working on it. Need to get a cam again..this time, my friend had got it..somehow I rarely buy the things that I can really use. Enjoying the rains with some nice novels to read? Chalo…have a nice eve.
