This is one of my favorite MJ song......the lyrics have so much depth in them that if you listen with your heart it will make you cry......
"You Are Not Alone"
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone...

Michael Jackson ---- The King of Pop 01
One of the most iconic, successful and versatile singer and dancer the world has ever seen is no more. May his soul rest in peace For the past few days I was listening to his songs and watching the live performances on the internet, and I concluded one thing. People like M.J are God gifted, no matter how much training we take, it is not possible to reach his perfection. Because that perfection is inbuilt, it is not something he learned it is a quality that comes out of pure consciousness which is flawless and amazing.
After his demise I was having a conversation with one of friends who told me that "MJ was such a notorious personality, he had child abuse charges against him, he doctored his face etc etc..". I stopped him right away and told " Man you should not jump to the conclusions straight away. He enjoyed the company of children, that does not mean he had sexual relationship with them. Getting surgeries was because he had a very traumatic childhood, with his father and others teasing him on his appearance. Also he was never able to enjoy his childhood as we all do, as everytime he wanted to play some outdoor games; he was told to practice for the next concert". So in short just think yourself in his shoes than make such harsh judgments about character and personality".
Then someone interruppts me and says "You talk as if you are his publiscist".
Agreed I am not MJ's PR represenative, but after watching his interviews and reading about his life there is a thing called GUT INSTINCT, where you see things from your perspective. The media and paparazzi have the freedom to write B.S as that is how they float their boats. Watch this interview "Living with Michael Jackson" and then you are free to take a decision on your own as to who is a VICTIM here and who is the DEVIL.
FYI - The interviewer was voted as the 5th most worst British in a national poll in UK, after the the interview.
MJ I do not know what most people think of you, but for me you were one of those few people on this planet who were innocent, childlike and above all a good person at heart.
May your soul rest in peace!
God Bless!!!

Super commentry on YOGA, LIFE and HUMAN MIND....
Recently, I have been giving all my spare time to PATANJALI YOGSUTRAS. Written 5000 years ago astonishingly they are still true and will be true for years to come. I wonder how could a person have such an in depth understanding of the mind. Before I say anything let me 1st write about Patanjali....
Patanjali is rare. He is an enlightened person like Buddha, Christ, Mohammed, but he is different in one way. Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed no one has a scientific attitude. They have changed the whole pattern of human mind and its structure, but their approach is not scientific.
Patanjali is like an Einstein in the world of Buddhas. He is a phenomenon. He has the same attitude, the same approach of a rigorous scientific mind. He is not a poet; Krishna is a poet or a moralist. He is basically a scientist, thinking in terms of laws. And he has come to deduce absolute laws of human being, the ultimate working structure of human mind and reality.
And if you follow Patanjali, you will come to know that he is as exact as any mathematical formula. Simply do what he says and the result will happen. No belief is needed: you simply do it and know. It is something to be done and known. Due to this a man like him is beyond compare.
You can find in Buddha's utterances, poetry -- bound to be there. Many times while Buddha is expressing himself, he becomes poetic. The realm of ecstasy, the realm of ultimate knowing, is so beautiful, the temptation is so much to become poetic, the beauty is such, the benediction is such, the bliss is such, one starts talking in poetic language.
Patanjali will not use poetry; he will not use a single poetic symbol even. He will not do anything with poetry; he will not talk in terms of beauty. He will talk in terms of mathematics. He will be exact, and he will give you maxims. Those maxims are just indications what is to be done. These sutras are so terse, he has not even used a single superfluous word. He will just put down the foundation, and if you follow the foundation you will reach the peak which is beyond. In short he is a mathematician of the mind.
Make sure you get a good commentry on the Yogsutras, else they will be very heavy and you may fall asleep. Sri Sri Ravishankar has expounded them in a very simple way. Here is a link to an article where he explains some sutras. Rest you can buy form the Art of Living Divine Shop.

JOKE.....
Came across this joke on web.....cant stop laughing
" A young girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for two months. Very worried, the mother takes her to the doctor and finds she is pregnant. Yelling at the daughter the mother asks who is that rascal who did this to you. The girl calls her boyfriend.
After sometime an expensive car stops in front of their house; a mature and distinguished man with grey hair, impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit, steps out of the car and enters the house. He sits in the living room with the father, the mother and the girl, and tells them,
‘Your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can’t marry her because I am already married, but I’ll provide support.’
‘If a girl is born, I will bequeath her two supermarket stores, a townhouse, a beach villa and a $1 million bank account. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $2 million bank account. If it is twins, a factory and $1 million each. However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?’
At this point, the father, places a hand firmly on the man’s shoulder and tells him, ‘Then you try again.’
Smile Always..

Meeting with The President….Concluding Part
Getting pushed away when trying to meet President Kalam.So now comes my turn to meet and greet him (President Kalam). Every time I try talking to him either I am interrupted by someone or I am so slow in reacting that other people take his attention. I kept on doing this for 10 min, but nothing good happened; frustrated and dejected I just told my self "What the hell man.....why arent they letting me talk to him...." So then I decide to do something unique that no one was doing.
Now as soon as he turns I call him loudly "President Kalam" and he looks back. I introduce myself and my research. I then politley ask him that can I have an opportunity of a photograph with you, to which he says SURE. I am like YES man this is a sweet. So I get near him and request Andrew (the staff Photographer) to take a pic. By now I was very close to him and I decide to go for it and acting on my instinct I just put my arm over him shoulder. People near him were taken back, Oh my God what is this guy doing, he is not following the protocol and I was just thinking do what your heart says. As they say "Sometimes you gotta do what you have to do". And after the photo I thank him and then I am with hom for the next 1 hour -:). After the vent one of my friends Sumit says " You did not let him go at all". to whcih I said " That is my style".
Me posing with Prsident KalamAfter this I was mainly standing with him and let other people meet him :-). Occasionally I was taking a few pics for other people and just listening to the conversation he was having with them. One particular thing I observed that he has a very sharp memory. One of the volunteers asked for his autograph and she comes back after 2 - 3 hours and asks for another one, surprisingly he remembered that he had already given one. Luckily, she was getting it for one of her friends and he duly obliged her. But by now he had become so used to my presence that he reads my name ( I had a nme tag on my shirt) and smiles at me and says you have following like a shadow. To which I just smile and blush.
Tellling me "Hey you have been like a shadow". Me smilingSo this was in short a rendevous with The President, who undoublty is a rare combination of intelligence and innocence. His humility, presence and naturalness is something we all should strive for.
Last but not the least I am greatful to Prof. P. Somasundaram for giving us this opportunity and freedom to interact with The President so freely.
Love
Anu
