Dr. Conrad Murray Charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson

I just saw it in BBC world news as a breaking news that Dr. Conrad Murray has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson. Details are still not very clear and we will find more information in the next few minutes. Now, CNN gave the same breaking news. So, it is confirmed that Dr. Conrad Murray has been charged with manslaughter. This news will surely cause a lot of media storm today and tomorrow. Earlier, we heard that Dr. Conrad Murray would plead not guilty. We also saw report that the children of Michael Jackson would testify for the doctor.

Now, CNN is giving detailed coverage to this item. CNN is showing footages from the court room. There is a huge presence of media outside the court house. It is perhaps a shocking news to the millions of fans of this pop legend. It is not that the doctor killed him but perhaps gave wrong drugs which are dangerous. It is to be noted that the doctor was close to the singer. So, the death investigation of this pop legend has taken a dramatic twist. The doctor neglected his duty but perhaps with no ill intention. 

Michael Jackson funeral ticket: What to Do?

It seems that everyone wants to have a Michael Jackson funeral ticket. At least, Google Trends suggest it to us. So, if you can get one then you are lucky and then you do not need read my entry. Instead, celebrate for getting a ticket. However, if you are a lucky one then you can continue reading my entry. I know that you are upset and unhappy. Well, try to think that your idol Michael Jackson was doing in the days of his life. According to Media reports, one of the things that he did in his few days of life was to read the poems of Rabindranath Tagore, a Bengali poet.

So, why not do the same thing? However, before everything, do you know who was Tagore? If you want to know about him then I have to direct you to Wikipedia’s entry on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabindranath_Tagore

I have plan to write about these two figures: Tagore and Jackson. Anyway, I am really curios to know that why the King of Pop became interested to read poems of a Bengali poet. Well, Tagore liked to think himself as a world citizen and his poems reflect universal values and spirits. That is why he got Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.

I think that last year, Matt Harding caused sensation with a dancing video in Internet. The song of the video was based on a poem of Tagore.

I am giving here translation of another very beautiful poem of Tagore:

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action ...

Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
