Another one bites the dust.....

The king of pop is no more.......this was the headline that was beaming across all news channels and newspapers..........special pieces were written....all the stuff that you associate with the passing away of a celebrity was there...but i was doing my own thing that i do when a celebrity passes away.......i sit down take a glance at the life that was and then think about.....what was and what could have been.........and in this case what could have been simply outweighed what was!!

In most celebrity cases this observation holds true.........a meteoric rise.....but sadly it all ends in seclusion, pain and a haunting memory of the glory days. So what is the reason? do fame and fortune make a person blind, do the glittering lights make the view of the future a bit obscure???

Do people forget that every rise has an inevitable fall.......that one day youth and charisma will abandon them......does the spur of the moment take away the ability to look beyond today.......or may be its just that today feels so good that they forget that there ever will be a tomorrow may be a bit different from today........ i am no dark soul advocating that no one has a right to enjoy their good today .....all i say is ..if in the glory of today people don't forget the qualities that got them there they would never have to worry about their tomorrows .....

Humility, hard work and the dogged pursuit of their goals .....and most importantly being yourself and remembering where you came from..............the ones who have not forgotten these live on today happy and satisfied even though they are no more the centres of the universe yet they have created their own happy worlds.......nothing can match the glory, glitz and glamour of the hay days .......but nothing is more painful than a cold secluded rot either!!!

And as i end this piece im thinking .....and all that comes to my mind is "another one bites the dust"
