Michael Jackson is DEAD. I am giving this BREAKING NEWS to you.

But if by any chance, any of you feels that its already known to you way too much, then congrats, you are also going through a horrible situation known as "MJDTMA - Michael Jackson's death too much already", similar to me. This is one of the deadliest diseases ever happened in the history of universe. Its totally incurable. None of the medical institutions are ready to take the charge for finding the cure to this disease.

Symptoms ->
You don't want to listen or read the letters M,J any more.
You are scared to switch through the news channels.
You feel like somebody has died in your family or neighborhood.

Cure->
Lots of Laughter, its incurable

I hope this doesn't sounds like mocking someone's death and at the same time no body can deny the enormous amount of talent that MJ possessed. He was and will always be one of the front runners of world music but the fact is that he is already dead and everybody is mourning it. Fair enough. Its fair enough to mourn over someone's death whom you admired or loved. But its not at all fair to force it over someone and that is whats being done right now.

If you are good at maths then you could probably count the number of people who actually listened to MJ's music in countries like ours. But still, the media is celebrating it.

On D-Day (death day), most of the news papers and news channels covered the same story and let us know that MJ is dead. Media Pro-activeness admired (I hope no body knew it before it actually happened). But what about today? Why am I still being served with the same state of sorrow?

When I say State of sorrow, its meant for the readers and probably MJ's family and his children for sure. Its definitely a fiesta for most the people out there serving it. I don't know the figures but it would have definitely generated millions of rupees for media because it was the most sought after news recently.

The fact is that very few are really affected by anyone's death. If you leave alone his/her direct links, rest all is just frenzy. When we create such a big deal out of someone's death, we actually make a fun out of it. It could never make a sense to bid public adieu to a deceased person over a microphone. He was a celebrity, he had a great fan following, so, his fans probably had their rights to see him for the last time, which could have been done in a better way but a performance by Mariah Carey or pushing his daughter towards mike to speak sssomething was definitely not called for. I mean what could you expect from a child who has just lost her father.

This was not enough. The event was covered live on news channels. Can somebody believe it? You get to watch a burial live on TV.

This all just leaves me scared with the thoughts about the day when people like Sachin Tendulkar or Amitabh Bachhan or Balasaheb Thackeray or Karuna Nidhi take their last breathe. I wish a long long life to all of them and hope that they live long enough to see people get seriously educated and not make a fun out of someone's death.
