I still remember as a kid, my first dose of non-desi music was the cassette that my brothers had bought. Soon “Beat it” was what we used to wake up with every morning. It soon became a part of my growing up, all the songs right from “Liberian girl, “Speed Demon” and of course my favourite till date “The way you make me feel”. That song still makes me feel awesome! While the likes of “True Blue” and “Like a virgin” from Madonna and a bunch of others started joining the list of “most listened songs”, MJ still remained a favourite.

Today when I woke up and tuned in to the story of MJ passing away – it felt weird and I felt a twinge sadness. Not that it affects my life in anyway but its like a fond memory of childhood being hurt. RIP Michael. What a life !! It means a hell lot to be mourned by millions across the globe. It means a hell lot to have every single website which started carrying the news of your death ending up crashing because of overload. It means alot to be known by almost everyone in the world (including my dad who hardly knows any other non-Indian singer!). You will always remain a benchmark and every kid like always would still want to be able to “dance like Michael Jackson!”…
