First of
all I got to admit this. I had no idea of what an English song was till that
very day. It was some day in July and I had been to Chennai to my Cousin's home
in Chennai. At that time all the channels showed only one news.
Michael
Jackson was No More; total city was sad and I knew nothing. Even at that moment
I didn't see the news properly. All I knew was, he is a musician and he is no
more. My meet with English songs happened because of my cousin only. He gave an
album of Michael Jackson's named THRILLER. You might have heard about it.
A big seller of all time. Then I found my way back home after my stay there.
Dad had always told me about his fond towards MJ.
You
know what, nothing seems important until we interest towards that particular thing.
I have never listened to his songs before. But it was one day and I started to
hear my first ever English song with concentration. Though I have heard many
English songs in the dance performances held in schools like Barbie Girl and so
on, I have never heard 'em alone. I mean, it was kind of new that I was
actually hearing an English song.
It
was like a strange feeling. But I became used to it. I was repeating the song
BEAT IT again and again. It became my favorite song. I even went to a
browsing center where USB drives are not allowed. But I sneaked my
USB in the port and downloaded the lyrics for that song. I was becoming a huge
fan of that song. I decided to by-heart all of his songs as a tribute for him.
I did many but his songs list was long and so I stopped.
When
I became his fan, I not only became a fan but became a die-hard one instead. At
that time it was the peak of Orkut Networking. I was very active in a community
(fan page according to Facebook) of Michael Jackson. Even if I do a password, I
have his name in the middle. Those days were only filled with him. I don't have
a single day when I haven't spoken or thought of him. My chit chats would be
only filled with Michael Jackson.
The
complete conversation between my friends and me would mostly be about him.
People would even get pissed or mad seeing me always blabbering things about
Michael Jackson. Those were the days I was just that madly in fanship. I always
"Shit! We missed him the days when he were alive." Then just after
the time began to roll, it was time for me to study for the upcoming
examinations, I mean the Public examination. Those were the days!
I
just can't describe my love for him in words. But anyways I did try.
