Let them rest in peace

I don’t have much to read in the news paper these days, but for the ongoing exploration, dissection and detailing of the life and death of Michael Jackson, the king of pops. The most discussed one among the news stories related to MJ is the comparison with Elvis Presley. They say that MJ’s death is mysterious life Presley’s, especially when both departed … from “heart attack”, when they were about to return to the world of music, after a long gap. Another hot topic of discussion is regarding the custody of kids of Jackson, and also regarding the amount of wealth that he has left behind, along with several tales about the so-called debts that he had.

The media is also on a hunt to get details from his previous wives about their personal life! Ridiculous!

The media intrusion in the death of celebrities is never a new story. It’s not just new generation journalists who are to be blamed for intruding in to the privacy of people like MJ, as these intrusions can be dated back to the time of coinage of the term ‘yellow journalism’ the artless art of writing that focuses on catering the spicy insider stories.

It’s apparently the cheapness of the inquisitive genome embedded in certain people that results in such downgraded journalism, which makes them go behind the paternity of Jackson’s kids and its details, when there are lot more serious issues in the world to be discussed.

The media is never ready to spare people like MJ, even after their death. I really feel so bad for those celebrities like him who are not blessed with a peaceful rest, due to media intrusions.

I am not justifying any of the deeds of these star personalities, but dear friends from the media, why can’t you give them a peaceful rest and focus your writing talents to bring out something that’s beneficial to humanity?

Let the dead rest in peace!

I am back!

I was trying hard these days, to get out of last week’s traumatic moments.

May be due to time, the ultimate healer, or the strength from the feeling of my friend’s presence around me; I am back! Back to work, back to writing, back to my musings….

But I keep sending regular messages and e-mails to his family and always pray for them, so that they get the courage to move-on and fulfill the dreams that he has left behind.

The heaviness of heart is slowly leaving me as I get more concentrated on my works and writings. Works, nothing much to be said as innovative and creative, but have something to keep myself busy the whole day. SEO, PPC, traffic, ranking…the very same jargons still revolve around my cabin helping out in my endeavors to get a better position for the websites of our clients.

After making the search engines contented, I go back to my room, have a good bath and lie down on my bed watching the beautiful stars. As I have put my bed near the window, I get a good view of those cute twinkles, which makes me feel at ease.

The monsoons have started here, but we are not getting good rains compared to the previous years. I really miss that delirious joy that the rain gives me! It rains seldom these days and the humidity has brought back that bad attack of sinusitis, which peeps-up every now and then, at times making me confine to my bed the whole day. A bad ear infection made matter worse, partially closing my right ear, with a shutter effect.

The terrible economic downturn had almost slaughtered my hopes for a better writing job, but now it’s slowly heading back to life.

I have started continuing my efforts to take a career leap, however not sure of the outcome, as the financial recession is still ubiquitous !

Thanks Rads for your caring words!
