Memories of a driver!

Years ago for those working in Bahrain's Malls the person covered head to toe in a black veil, gloves and glass appeared to be a rich doting Saudi mother, leaping one aisle to other to select children's shoes, clothes and toys. The lady came in shining Rolls Royce with all the blink blink and couple of security guards.

But why would a woman wear a man's shoes? Why those body guards? And why did the person's fluid moments so familiar?

"As soon as we guessed it was Michael Jackson we started playing his music in the store" Said Bijesh Kumar a supervisor at Euphoria Music store. "But he was so scared he told the body guards to stop the music" Jackson did sign the autograph for us. Kumar said.

Jackson, his three children and assistants headed in to a Mother Care store in Marina Mall - Bahrain, the pop icon spent almost an hour sprinting around buying $2000 worth of clothes and toys said Laila Al-Aradi the cashier.

But while he was waiting for his assistant to pay Laila noticed the person in women's abaya is wearing men's shoes!

"I looked at him and mouthed Michael Jackson!" She said "but he wagged his finger at me to caution me against calling his name aloud"

Jackson made his way to the shoe store, the shop assistant thought he is assisting a wealthy Arab woman till he heard some Bahraini girls screaming " Michael Jackson!" out side the shop. The girls were trying to convince the cashiers and shop keepers there is Michael Jackson inside their shop!!

Crowd started growing in thick by the time MJ finished his shopping, shop manager had a real surprise to see MJ in his store, he regained his mental stability immediately and acted wise to help Michael Jackson and his kids to escape. MJ wanted to go out through emergency exit, since there is no emergency, the manager couldn’t open it. The mall's main door was packed with photographers and fans; there were a sizeable crowd at staff exit as well, people gathered from all directions to have a glance at their favorite star.

At the point, the women with Jackson asked their driver Ramesh to get some scarves for the children, which she wrapped around their faces before the Shop Manager showed the way out through the back door.

By the time Driver Ramesh drove 2006 model Rolls Royce to the back side of the mall. Before leaving the mall Michael Jackson didn't forget to shake hand with the shop manager and say ' Thank you!"

Ramesh remember everything, his eyes filled with tears when talking about his ex-boss. Ramesh 38 was one of Jackson's three personal drivers when he lived in Bahrain for a year from 2005 till 2006.

When MJ's funeral took place in Los Angels, Millions of fans who watched it all around the globe, there was grief stricken Ramesh's family in Kerala, one of the southern states in India. Tearful Ramesh couldn’t control his bereavement, as he looked at his kid, who was holding tightly the doll that MJ had gifted!

Like all those thousands of critics, who only knows about Michael Jackson's wired attitude and dance steps, saw other side of MJ only when King of Pop's daughter cried and referred Michael Jackson as "a best daddy in the world" at the funeral function. That was in fact a light into MJ's personal life; the critics were amazed to know about the pop icon's humanitarian face, personal life, and struggle.

Ramesh didn't know much about MJ's celebrity status and how big he was, though he was aware of his popularity, songs and dances. MJ directly interviewed him with his Secretary and Manager.

"He was so kind and very friendly with all of us, He told me that I could be free with him and could share our joys and sorrows with him. Jackson's children Prince, Paris and Blanket also lived with him" Ramesh recalled fondly.

Ramesh Stayed in on the job till Jackson and his family left Bahrain at the end of 2006. The Showbiz's most brightest and mercurial star never forgot his driver even after he left Bahrain.

"Even after he left Bahrain, he called me twice. The last call came when he wished me Happy New Year in 2007" Said Ramesh who currently working as a shop keeper in Bahrain and is home on leave.

Tuesday night was tough for Ramesh. The family gathered around the television set to bid adieu to the former boss, who was revered as much as he was reviled, as his funeral was broadcast alive to millions around the world.

"My son Tanuj was holding a few toys that Jackson gave me for him just before he left Bahrain. All of us watched TV and we were sad. I can't believe he is no more," Ramesh said, remembering how the strange star covered his face every time he stepped out with his children.

"If you meet my former boss you will be wondering is this the man in all sort of controversies? I never believed anything came in news papers and TV channels against him and I am not going to believe it either, those spiteful yellow tabloids who tarnished the image of this very good human, let alone his celebrity status, will be questioned by god tomorrow!" Ramesh's words got caught in grief and broken.

Martin Bashir – A moron behind MJ’s death!

Will I be punished for calling moron, a moron? Will I be put behind the bars calling a shameless megalomaniac in that term? If yes, I am ready whole heartedly to go to the jail to spend years; still if I get a laptop I will be calling him the same through all possible websites from the prison. He is not Martin Bashir he is Martin Bash-here!

Why do I have to hate this guy so much?

As everyone knows he is the one who painted Michael Jackson in filthy canvas. He is the one who ate, drunk and breath in Michael Jackson’s expenses for long 8 months for the sick documentary called Living with Michael Jackson which was viewed by 14 million in UK and 38 million in the US! He is the one who killed Michael Jackson!!

Martin Bashir is a British investigative journalist shot into fame by interviewing Lady Diana about her failed marriage with Prince of Wales for BBC in 1995. He came to wide prominence and grown as a celebrity journalist. He too had a small fan following, can be seen signing autographs in major celebrity events. In 1999 Bashir quit BBC to join ITV. ITV paid a huge amount of money for pulling Bashir into their side. As everyone expected Bashir has to show his metal very badly to claim his worth. He was in a tremendous pressure after few mediocre sensational news bits those fell flat. Then he came out with this idea of having interview with Michael Jackson in 2003 with the help of Uri Geller, MJ’s good friend and spoon bender. It supposed to be truth revealing documentary for MJ to show his innocence to the world about child molestation case, ironically, it became the reason for MJ’s downfall!

Uri Geller recommended the iconic pop star to the TV journalist. Bashir proposed that nothing be off-limits in this investigation, a proposal that was accepted by Michael Jackson. Little was known that this documentary would soon cause further scrutiny towards “Wacko Jacko” the name that represented the agonizing final part of his life!

Martin Bashir spent days and nights with King of Pop, he saw, felt and sensed MJ’s day in and day out. He literally lived in MJ’s expense. Knowing this journalist by his work with Lady Diana MJ just trusted this moron blindly and took him along wherever he goes. Concerts, meetings and fun filled journeys. MJ showed Bashir the amazing Neverland like never seen before! Bashir appreciated and promised MJ it going to be an eye opener for the world to know the King of Pop so close and personal!

Rest is history. Bashir’s documentary did exactly opposite to what Michael was expecting and hoping for. It fuelled the downfall of a greatest human being more than a singer, even faster. The documentary is still able to be viewed on YouTube. In these short clips Bashir’s ruthless and heartless attitude of journalism is revealed at the expense of the man who has been wrongly tarnished by the world. From MJ’s view it was like a desperate attempt to clear his name, but fait slapped him again by a fame gluttonous yellow journalist!

All love, charity and help that conveyed by Michael Jackson is conveniently ignored and edited by Bashir, instead he brought up, prioritized child molestation case! When MJ confessed about sleeping with kids but declined any sexual doings Bashir aired only MJ’s word of sleeping with kids! But that is not the main reason why Bashir’s interview is unforgivable. Watching the last part of the documentary is especially moving, as the ‘King of Pop’ has to explain himself regarding Bashir’s awkward questioning on Jackson’s children. Pleading that ‘love’ is being lost in the world, and his emotion perhaps cites his own childhood woes. It puts clearly into perspective, for anyone with a heart softer than a stone, the reasons for Michael Jackson’s special relationship with children. Bashir constantly asked about MJ’s numerous plastic surgeries, health issues, and didn’t leave without touching up on even his sex life! So this is what killed the greatest singer on planet. Constant loss of trust disillusioned Jackson with anyone close to him. After this tragic incident MJ frequently fired his housemaids and staffs, a sign of a man who entered in to a disturbed psychological status!

Martin Bashir earned a lot of money and fame by bringing down a man who always sung, wrote and spoke about love and affection. He literally dismantled the spirit of MJ, it’s only a matter of time before the body gives up. Michael Jackson’s camp responded with their own documentary “Michael Jackson Interview – the footage you never meant to see” Where MJ’s crews had recorded same interview with hidden cameras that even Bashir is not aware of. That is how the world came to know about a fox in a sheep’s garb! It clearly shows how Bahsir had edited and masked MJ's transperant answers and quotes, how he twisted the whole interview to turn against King of Pop! But still I doubt about its publicity and viewer ship that of compare to Bashir’s version!

Martin Bashir is an unethical journalist and an atrocious racist who love to do anything to glorify his own image and status, he is the one brought down Olympic Track Star Marion Jones, an American-African. And America is feeding his filthy belly by providing him a job in US network ABC. In fact it was United State’s favor to Bashir for killing it's own son!

Now Uri Geller says recomending Bashir to MJ was the biggest mistake he did in his entire life, and he considers it as a “betrayal”; perhaps I would say Martin Bashir was the epitome of canny, deceitful men that played a part in Michael’s downfall, and eventual death! Bashir has Michael’s blood on his hands, in his zeal to establish himself as prominent journalist he sacrificed a lovable human being.

The stain of MJ’s blood will never fade out from your hand Mr.Bashir, regardless of your constant approach to wash it off by saying “MJ is the greatest entertainer” after killing him brutally by your unscrupulous way of journalism.

The world that knows Michael Jackson will never forgive you! Never!!

Michael Jackson – Fake Mysteries!

It seems like Michael Jackson is making more news after his death than when he was alive. All sort of speculations, allegations and guess works are filling every Tabloid, Magazine and News paper columns! Thousands of journalists were going through mental depression because of lack of genuine news thread that capable to excite the public. Korean nuclear threat and Iraq blasts reached a point where it won’t strike an iota of emotions to common man’s mind while enjoying the bed coffee! Some jouro’s even thinking of a serious career change, few of them joined in world’s leading Porno magazines. I am sure they will shine in there because of the high imagination power and castle in the sky thinking capabilities. (My eyes got extreme round shape while reading the fake autopsy result that leaked out recently – highly inventive!!!) However Michael Jackson’s death turned out to be godsend for those depressed megalomaniacs!

Michael Jackson’s Nannies popped out from various pot holes from different corners, drivers, friends and even those who just saw MJ on TV too came out with stories. Those half baked narratives are missing on logic and fundamental aspects to make up a story too embezzled the central spreads and front pages!

As everyone knows Michael Jackson was broke in his late days, but then he was planning to have greatest come back with 50 concerts in UK, ambitious tour called as “make or brake tour”. Half fit MJ is any time better than those full fit buffoons who still rely on some stunt shows to stay in news lines.

There is strange news about Michael Jackson performing secret gigs for Arab Sheikhs (Kings) for $2.5M! One night concerts for millionaire Sheikhs and billionaire Russians in London can make MJ $2.5M richer! So what? MJ is an inborn entertainer and made chunk of money by performing in front of little audience, website that tried to tarnish MJ’s image even after his death by this piece of crap ended up rotten eggs on their faces! Add to their agony ultimately it worked in favor of King of Pop! The freaky web site creator never thought of having this boomerang effect when they published it! People around the world appreciated MJ for making smart money that too in too many digits almost every night!

Another column filler – Jackson accidentally killed himself!

Jackson's contract with the firm handling the 50-show tour stated that if the singer cancelled any concert, he would have to pay a penalty to the promoters. However, most contracts have a medical infirmity clause, whereby if a performer is hospitalized no penalty needs to be paid.

Author Gerald Posner says that a top member of the singer’s entourage has told him that Jackson wanted to cancel several shows without having to pay out his touring company.

Jackson intentionally took a large amount of prescription drugs to induce a trip to hospital, according to the advisor,

The advisor reportedly said: "Like a child who doesn’t want to go to school… Michael thought he could get away from his obligations if he had a 'note from the doctor'.”

Bullshit! I think this repporter should have gone to the school in order to avoid such an idiotic statement! If ever MJ wants to cancel a show it definitely can’t be the first show!!! He was practicing well and just waiting for the curtain raise with complete excitements of a 12 year old boy from Jackson five! It would have been made more sense if he swallowed those medicines between the shows!

Some speculations are utterly imprudent, One website has released a photo says “Jacko on Sunday” - three days after his death - although it does not show his face and there's no proof the snap is new.

Another says that the singer has been planning this for nearly a year-and-a-half and is now hiding in EasternEurope. However, there is no hard evidence to support these claims, reports the Sun. Another site has released a photo it claims is of Jacko, insisting the man who died on Thursday was the singer's body double with a terminal illness whose family will be looked after in return. Another one claims that Jacko's death is a stunt. "Once he is rested and ready will blow the lid off his own hoax and then embark on the most spectacularly lucrative concert tour in the history of rock 'n' roll."

Hopeless cases! No comments from my side!

Slightly believable story except MJ’s secret girl friend was from the King of Pop’s body guard Matt Fiddes.

"I never witnessed him actually taking drugs but I knew they were there and I confiscated packages, and Uri (Guru Uri Geller) did too," Sky News quoted Matt as saying.

"And Uri confiscated injection equipment from his room ... Uri would scream at Michael, you know, intensely, to stop doing this but we were getting pushed out.

"The doctor had such an influence over Michael that we felt our efforts were falling on deaf ears. As far as I'm concerned they have Michael's blood on their hands, they know what they've done and there's people out there who could have helped, could have stepped in but didn't do for financial reasons.

"We went to great efforts to keep the doctors away. But as soon as we said anything and it gets back to Michael, Michael would have a screaming fit that we were interfering with his private life, that he knew what he was doing and he was in denial," he added.

The 29-year-old further slammed reports that the Thriller hitmaker was gay, insisting that he met his secret lover on various occasions.

He said: "I'm not going to name who she is but I think the family were aware that there was someone special in his life who he loved and adored and had his ups and downs with. I don't know how long they've been a couple. I know she's been with him for some time in different capacities but...it's up to her if she wants it to come out or the family to speak about this very private information."

Matt, who owns a network of martial arts schools around the UK, further said that Jackson was far from taking hard drugs.

He said: "Michael Jackson was not a druggie. There was no cocaine or anything crazy like that. It was prescription drugs and painkillers from what I understand."

Speaking about the childe abuse claims, Matt said: "The guy was so naive and so trusting ... we never doubted Michael, we knew he was innocent right from the start and what the real reason was, as far as we were concerned, was financially motivated."

I remember Michael was admitting in a TV interview that he slept with kids. You can literally sense from his eyes what he wanted to convey. MJ said he slept with kids, but never ever looked them or touched them in sexually exploiting way. The world failed to understand this honest man, or the whole world is corrupted to digest his excessively childlike innocence!

We are coming in terms with the world without Michael Jackson, but realized now how strong his hold were in common men around the world, despite of race, colour, country, region, religion and language people just loved Jacko so much so a dozen of them committed suicide following the singer’s sudden demise! As many as 50 callers seeking help from suicide prevention hotline Lifeline Australia have told counselors that Jackson’s death on June 26 has left them distressed!

MJ's fans have bought almost 300,000 to 400,000 copies of his albums and 1.8 million individual digital tracks in the three days after his death!

MJ loved his kids so much and he was so protective about them, his son nick named “blanket” saw his dad collapsing to the floor in central hall, the kid ran to him to get over him thinking that Papa is playing with him! Jackson looked at his kid's eyes and touched his cheek with a painful smile before he closed his eyes slipping into unconsciousness and eventually to the ultimate sleep!

Thursday will be his final, grand journey from Los Angeles to Neverland. Friday will be the big public event, with fans able to pay their respects.

Michael always said "Neverland kept me young" It seems fitting. On Sunday there will be a memorial service for his family and close friends to mourn in private,"

Good bye Michael. One last time!

Michael Jackson – The truth behind Dubai controversy!

I must confess first that I am one of a billion fans of Michael Jackson. Why am I talking about Dubai controversy here, well you believe it or not, I was there in Dubai when MJ stirred this small controversy in a big shopping mall called Bar**** Centre by entering woman’s toilet! Probably I only can tell the world what really happened in there! So take my words; what I am going to write here is truth, only truth!

Michael has been going through unbelievable pain and self destructive journey. The major controversy that shut his career forever was the child molestation scandal. That haunted him like a ghost. Despite the court never charging him for the 1993 accusations, the media continued to hack at the singer. The complainants, Jordan Chandler (then 13) and his father Evan Chandler, refused to pursue the case, instead preferring to settle with $22 million in settlements. Michael Jackson, who faced a 25-minute strip search by the police during the case, was left distraught, tired and humiliated.

Media never let him go. Painted in a very unfavorable light the singer found it hard to stay away from the glare of the mad media. This is the man who entertained a generation with his ever die music albums, this is the man who invented new waves in pop music with high pitch singing style punctuated with squeals and titters, this is the man who stunned billions of people world wide with backward-gliding moon walk and feverish, crotch grabbing dance moves. Does he deserve all what he got in the bad light? No media respected him or give him a ear to listen; they even questioned his marriage with Lisa Marie Presley (Elvis Presley's daughter) dismissed as just another ploy to distract the world from child molestation scandal, in result a man who faced thousands of people on the stage world wide shrunk in to himself without seeing the day light. He spent lion part of his last days in his freakish Neverland residence indulging in a copious mix of drugs and self-loathing. The madness has taken over!

When I was living in Dubai I heard MJ had bought a plot in Bahrain, after a week or two a friend of mine informed me that MJ is in Dubai doing shopping. No doubt Michael Jackson is one of the easiest recognizable human being on the planet! His appearance rings a bell or two even among the farmers in remote villages of African islands. Nobody can blame him wearing “Parda” (A long religious dress for women in Middle East) to hide himself from the public eyes. And parda is most suitable and convenient dress ever one can get to hide. The small flap piece that covers half of the face will convert Michael Jackson to a complete woman, and nobody would dare to stare or suspect him especially in the Middle East, teasing women is a bigger crime than we all think over there, it can fetch capital punishment! MJ was shopping along with his two children, kids were wearing weird looking clothes to cover their faces as well, and now that is attracting some unwanted attention rather than distracting it! MJ is King of Pop and world renowned artist; agreed, but he too has basic requirements of a human being like me and you do. Naturally when he was wearing a female dress he should go to ladies toilet not gents toilet! A female shopper screamed when she saw MJ fixing the hair in front of a common mirror in the ladies toilet! Security personalities arrived almost immediately. Everybody surprised to see Michael Jackson in first place and that too in a Parda! Just like his tragic life, MJ invited something which he was trying to avoid desperately – the whole shopping mall stood around him; some of them are taking pictures with Mobile Phone Cameras. Police arrived instantly for MJ’s rescue; the female who screamed continued to make some more noise as if MJ had raped her. The Police in Dubai need special appreciation for calming the situation down, they spoke to the lady shopper in her own language. After a 10 minutes conversation she agreed on something and left the mall. MJ and kids were trying to get out of the Mall with the help of Police; suddenly the lady appeared again and asked Police an assist to get some lapse money from MJ!!! Now this is seriously funny. Can’t point a finger at this poor lady who has been wrongly convinced by someone that MJ is a soft target to blackmail! At least that is what she or the one advised her understood through the media. Police completely ignored her demand and took MJ and kids to safety.

It was like almost whole world wanted to have a little fun with Michael Jackson, they never let a single opportunity go without poking at him, and we made this legend’s life a living hell with constant ridicule, attacking, already broken man and questioning his very will to survive. A 11 year old from Jackson 5 gone through everything in a span of 50 years; fame, money, biggest embarrassment, romance, failure, scandal and destruction! It's also just pathetic how, on the day of his death, the world turns around and showers praises on a guy we loved throwing dirt at.

'I just want to say to fans in every corner of the earth, every nationality, every race, every language: I love you from the bottom of my heart. I would love your prayers and your goodwill, and please be patient and be with me and believe in me because I am completely, completely innocent. But please know a lot of conspiracy is going on as we speak,' pleaded Michael to the world when the child-molestation trail was on.

His 50 concerts in London were very ambitious even for Michael himself. I truly doubted his ability to perform well at this age and health condition, I am happy it didn’t happen, all those Tabloids in UK and US will be just waiting for the concert to finish to throw some more mock at him, MJ never would have survived another media assault!

I rate Michael Jackson above Elvis simply because of his power packed talent. The lonely King of Pop, who only in death found what he was looking for – some respect! I was happy to see finally some media is actually praising this man which they never did when he was alive!
