I See Your True Colours

This weekend just gone was the Young Jains 7th International Convention, BRIDGING THE GAP.

I feel completely humbled about how the entire weekend unfolded for the 150 people in the room. The presentations carefully delivered, the food prepared with love, the collaborative compassion from the team and the energy and atmosphere was all second to none. I'll write more and post videos in due course.

Here is a song played multiple times over the weekend. Listen to the words.

I grew up listening to Jacko

I remember listening to Michael Jackson's music literally every single day as I grew up in Nigeria.

I clearly remember the exact posters that I had stuck all over my wall, down the cupboard and on the back of the door.

I remember the small music notes book through which I taught myself how to play Beat It and Black Or White on the keyboard.

I remember the huge singles collection I built up with Stranger In Moscow being the most notable.

I love how his style and music has inspired many artists of today such as Akon, Britney, and others.

I love how Twitter has managed to get the news out even before the News Channels themselves. Twitter are reporting more tweets per second about Jackson than even when Barack Obama became President.

Already, in less than 24 hours, Amazon's best-seller charts in music is filled with Michael Jackson CDs. I can't wait to hear how many millions of downloads were bought from iTunes in the first 24 hours since his death.

People all around the watching the news and letting it sink in.

It's amazing how much one young 50 year old achieved in his life. 

It's definitely an inspiration to get up, live more and celebrate life.
