Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan remembers Michael as an ‘exceptional artiste’.

Big B wrote in his blog that, "It was in the mid-70s that lightning stuck and from it emerged this grown up version of Michael Jackson singing, moving and dancing like he was from some other planet".

"Mesmerised by his brilliance in each and every department of music and performance, he changed the very psyche, of not just the kind of music he was making, but also the psyche of the listening audience. Nothing compared to him."

Pop legend Michael Jackson was the "incredible perfection that god could have possibly created" and a man who personified "the impossible", says Hindi film megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh Bachchan also remembers the days when he used to dress up small Abhishek like Michael and made him danced to the tune of his thriller.

Also when it comes to India, Michael Jackson was introduced to A R Rahman's Vande Mataram.

Once while listening to the song Ekam Satyam, he was very thrilled. In fact, when he put on the headphones to listen to the song, he started tapping his feet and tapping his band on his thigh in rhythm with the beats. He was enjoying himself. It was nice to see the way he heard the song.

Michael Jackson loves India in a way. One interesting thing about Michael Jackson was that he was vegetarian, and loved Indian food. He took an Indian chef to Munich. He loved Indian culture, Indian food and the song and dance in Indian films.

A.R.Rahaman said, "I am yet to find an artist with that energy, perfection and vision. He was one of the greatest musicians of our time.MJ for most of our generation was an icon who made uncompromising music."

Rahman met MJ very recently for the first time. “I met him personally after the Oscars in Los Angeles and we vibed very well. He said that he loved India and the Indian people. He said he heard good things about me and he was praising the chord progression of Jai Ho's chorus.”

Farah Khan: "I officially had no training in dance and whatever I learnt was from watching Michael Jackson by watching his videos, especially 'Thriller' over and over again. I consider him as my guru," one of the Bollywood best choreographers Farah Khan.

Farah Khan exclaims "went over to him, touched him, spoke to him and even clicked a picture with him. He asked me my name, my profession. It was a surreal experience. I was shivering throughout the night. I will always cherish that picture," Farah told CNN-IBN.

Shilpa Shetty said, ""He was an icon who lead an extraordinary life. I admired him for constantly reinventing himself and for converting me into a pop lover after 'Thriller'. His music will immortalise him."

World Griefs the Death of Michael Jackson at Age of 50




All the world is in grief after the death of Pop sensation Michael Jackson. Lately even Barack Obama, the president of America also called him as, 'Spectacular Performer.'

The King of Pop is also known as "natural heir to Elvis." His death at the age of 50 has really sadened his fans world over. The 50 year-Old's history has been filled with bizarre behaviour, sex scandals died of cardiac arrest.

Previously his wife Ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley pointed out that, she predicted Jackson might die in the same, sudden manner as her father, Elvis Presley.

Jackson’s death, just weeks before he was due to start a 50-date tour of the UK, has sent shockwaves around the world.

Rev Jesse Jackson was among those paying tribute to the music icon.

“He tried so hard to get back and he was ready,” he told US channel CBS.

"I can't stop crying over the sad news. I've always admired Michael Jackson – the world has lost one of its greats but his music will live on forever.As a friend of Michael's for the past 35 years, I call on people from around the world to pray for him and his family." said Rev Al Sharpton, civil rights campaigner

Jackson was famous for his moonwalking and thrilling onstage performances. An estimated 750 million records worldwide has been sold. He has revolutionized pop music and winning 13 Grammy Awards. In 1982, he enjoyed phenomenal success with his hit album “Thriller” before going on to release “Bad” in 1987.

Jackson died less than three weeks before he was due to launch a series of comeback concerts in London, and his lasting appeal -- despite being a virtual recluse since his acquittal of child abuse charges at a 2005 trial -- was underlined when 750,000 fans of all ages bought tickets for the sellout gigs.

Jackson was in full cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived at his rented mansion in the Holmby Hills neighbourhood of Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon, with his personal physician trying desperately to revive him.

Police said they were seeking to question Jackson's personal physician, identified by news media as Houston-based cardiologist Dr. Conrad Murray.

Doctors conducted an autopsy on the body of Michael Jackson on Friday but could not immediately determine what killed the "King of Pop," amid reports he had been injected with a narcotic painkiller shortly before collapsing.

While US celebrity magazine Life & Style said a source told them that the eccentric artist had been popping pills, including anti-anxiety or sedative drugs Xanax and Zoloft and painkiller Demerol, for weeks before his death and that an overdose of the deadly cocktail could have caused respiratory and cardiac arrest, TMZ, the US celebrity website that has developed a reputation for showbusiness scoops, said a family source told them that Jackson receives a daily injection of Demerol and on Thursday he received a shot at 11:30 AM, shortly before he complained of breathlessness and collapsed into a coma, probably a result of massive cardiac arrest.

According to Uri Geller, Jackson's close friend, stress over the upcoming UK tour could have prompted Jackson to take a fatal overdose of drugs. "Stress is a killer, any doctor will tell you that. I think the anticipation of this mammoth challenge that was coming upon him, doing these 50 concerts, wanting to be close to perfection when he was going to be on stage, put him under huge, huge pressure. That could have done it, though this is just my opinion," Geller said.

Records reveal years of financial troubles for Murray, who practices medicine in California, Nevada and Texas; his Nevada medical practice, Global Cardiovascular Associates, was slapped with more than $400,000 in court judgments, and he faces at least two other pending cases and several tax liens.

The news of his death as of now is not yet confirmed.

Family members are feeling confused, upset and angry by the lack of information about those who were around the pop superstar in his final days, a person close to the family told The Associated Press.

William Carey: Missionary-Evangelist

William Carey
1761-1834

English Baptist missionary to India. Born in England in 1761. Pastor before going to the mission field, he spent an active forty-one years serving the Lord in India, including translating the Scriptures.

"Shoemaker by trade, but scholar, linguist and missionary by God's training," William Carey was one of God's giants in the history of evangelism! One of his biographers, F. Dealville Walker, wrote of Carey: "He, with a few contemporaries, was almost singlehanded in conquering the prevailing indifference and hostility to missionary effort; Carey developed a plan for missions, and printed his amazing Enquiry; he influenced timid and hesitating men to take steps to the evangelizing of the world." Another wrote of him, "Taking his life as a whole, it is not too much to say that he was the greatest and most versatile Christian missionary sent out in modern times."

Carey was born in a small thatched cottage in Paulerspury, a typical Northamptonshire village in England, August 17, 1761, of a weaver's family. When about eighteen he left the Church of England to "follow Christ" and to "...go forth unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach." At first he joined the Congregational church at Hackleton where he was an apprentice shoemaker. It was there he married in 1781. And it was in Hackleton he began making five-mile walks to Olney in his quest for more spiritual truth. Olney was a stronghold of the Particular Baptists, the group that Carey cast his lot with after his baptism, October 5, 1783. Two years later he moved to Moulton to become a schoolmaster — and a year later he became pastor of the small Baptist congregation there.

It was in Moulton that Carey heard the missionary call. In his own words he cried, "My attention to missions was first awakened after I was at Moulton, by reading the Last Voyage of Captain Cook." To many, Cook's Journal was a thrilling story of adventure, but to Carey it was a revelation of human need! He then began to read every book that had any bearing on the subject. (This, along with his language study — for at twenty-one years of age Carey had mastered Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Italian, and was turning to Dutch and French. One well called his shoemaker's cottage "Carey's College," for as he cobbled shoes along with his preaching he never sat at his bench without some kind of a book before him.)

The more he read and studied, the more convinced he was "the peoples of the world need Christ." He read, he made notes, he made a great leather globe of the world and, one day, in the quietness of his cobbler's shop — not in some enthusiastic missionary conference — Carey heard the call: "If it be the duty of all men to believe the Gospel ... then it be the duty of those who are entrusted with the Gospel to endeavor to make it known among all nations." And Carey sobbed out, "Here am I; send me!"

To surrender was one thing — to get to the field was quite another problem. There were no missionary societies and there was no real missionary interest. When Carey propounded this subject for discussion at a ministers' meeting, "Whether the command given to the apostles to teach all nations was not obligatory on all succeeding ministers to the end of the world, seeing that the accompanying promise was of equal extent," Dr. Ryland shouted, "Young man, sit down: when God pleases to covert the heathen, He will do it without your aid or mine." Andrew Fuller added his feelings as resembling the unbelieving captain of Israel, who said, "If the Lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be!"

But Carey persisted. he later said of his ministry, "I can plod!" And he was a man who "always resolutely determined never to give up on any point or particle of anything on which his mind was set until he had arrived at a clear knowledge of his subject."

Thus Carey wrote his famed Enquiry Into the Obligations of the Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathen. In this masterpiece on missions Carey answered arguments, surveyed the history of missions from apostolic times, surveyed the entire known world as to countries, size, population and religions, and dealt with the practical application of how to reach the world for Christ!

And he prayed. And he pled. And he plodded. And he persisted. And he preached — especially his epoch-producing message, "EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM GOD. ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS FOR GOD." The result of that message preached at Nottingham, May 30, 1792 — and all the other missionary ministries of Carey — produced the particular Baptist Missionary Society, formed that Fall at Kettering on October 2, 1792. A subscription was started and, ironically, Carey could not contribute any money toward it except the pledge of the profit from his book, The Enquiry.

It was in 1793 that Carey went to India. At first his wife was reluctant to go — so Carey set off to go nevertheless, but after two returns from the docks to persuade her again, Dorothy and his children accompanied him. They arrived with a Dr. Thomas at the mouth of the Hooghly in India in November, 1793. There were years of discouragement (no Indian convert for seven years), debt, disease, deterioration of his wife's mind, death, but by the grace of God — and by the power of the Word — Carey continued and conquered for Christ!

When he died at 73 (1834), he had seen the Scriptures translated and printed into forty languages, he had been a college professor, and had founded a college at Serampore. He had seen India open its doors to missionaries, he had seen the edict passed prohibiting sati (burning widows on the funeral pyres of their dead husbands), and he had seen converts for Christ.

On his deathbed Carey called out to a missionary friend, "Dr. Duff! You have been speaking about Dr. Carey; when I am gone, say nothing about Dr. Carey — speak about Dr. Carey's God." That charge was symbolic of Carey, considered by many to be a "unique figure, towering above both contemporaries and successors" in the ministry of missions.
