Michael Jackson wanted to live for 150 years.
He appointed 12 doctors at home who would daily examine him from hair to toenails.
His food was always tested in laboratory before serving.
Another 15 people were appointed to look after his daily exercise and workout.
His bed had the technology to regulate the oxygen level.
Organ donors were kept ready so that whenever needed they could immediately donate their organ . The maintenance of these donors were taken care of by him.
He was proceeding with a dream of living for 150 years.
Alas ! He failed.
On 25th June 2009, at the age of 50, his heart stopped functioning. The constant effort of those 12 doctors didn't work.
Even, the combined efforts of doctors from Los Angeles and California too couldn't save him.
The person who would never put a step forward without the doctors suggestion for his last 25 years, couldn't fufill his dream of living 150 years.
Jackson's final journey was watched live by 2.5 million people which is the longest live telecast till date.
On the day he died,i.e. 25th June '09 at 3.15 pm, Wikipedia, Twitter,AOL's instant messenger stopped working. Millions of people together searched Michael Jackson on Google.
Jackson tried to challenge death but death challenged him back.
The materialistic life in this materialistic world embraces materialistic death instead of a normal one. This is the rule of life.
Now let's think.
Whom do we want to impress by showing expensive house,car and extravagant wedding ?
Do you remember the food items in the wedding reception which you had attended couple of days ago?
Why are we working like an animal in life ?
For the comfort of how many generations do we want to save?
Do you spend some time with yourself, family or friends in the week?
Do you spend 5% of your earning on yourself?
Why don't we find happiness in life along with what we earn ?
Conclusion : Spend some time for yourself. We don't own any property,its only in some documents that our name is written temporarily.
When we say “ this is my property ”, God passes a crooked smile.
Don't create an impression on a person seeing his car or dress. Our great mathematicians and scientists used bicycle or scooter for commuting.
Control life or else life will control you.
The things which really matter at the end of life is contentment, satisfaction and peace.
Sadly, these cannot be bought.

Funding Requests


I would like to request for help to be assisted for the sake of my mother's health. She is sick with chronic Asmatic condition which makes her life difficult with prolonged cough. We wish to request for help to relocate her from our rular areas which is very cold and difficult for her to survive. All the triggers of her condition are present in that area. Helping her out to relocate will be the number one help. Thankyou in advance for your kind gesture towards a sick mother.

She was kind enough to share with us her background as a Pharmacist, her passion in relation to physical and nutritional health, as well as her personal story of how she was able to make significant changes to both mind and body. Her dedication and passion to help others to lead a happy and healthy life are admirable and I hope that you enjoy this episode as much as we did learning all we could about Susanna and her work

Book Suggestions

"C is for Carnival"

D is for dance! E is for emancipation! From A to Z, this is a rhyming alphabet book that celebrates Canada’s Caribbean Carnival. This engaging and educational book features a diverse cast of children in vibrant costumes as they ‘play mas’ while dancing to Soca and Calypso music. A glossary at the end makes it easy for readers, including parents and teachers, to review what they have learned.
