Question remains on why Michael Jackson changed his skin

As people in the world mourn the death of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, only a few would question openly why Jackson, a black man, later changed his skin to white. But that question has actually been asked privately by almost everyone who loves his songs.

Jackson was born black. He became a musical star when he was only 11 with his brothers. The news of his death has become front-page stories in many countries in the world. Commentaries here in the United States said his achievements in music have well surpassed Elvis Presley. Jackson was truly global and omnipresent, across genres and media platforms.

The difference between Presley and Jackson is that the former was white and the later was black. Jackson's greatest achievement, perhaps, is that blacks were finally being marketed to the mainstream in music.

The first Jackson 5 album was released in 1969 on the Motown label, which carved a place in history by making black music safe for white people to enjoy.

However, people noticed that as Jackson's fame spread wider, his appearance became whiter.

Jackson himself said he had vitiligo, a disease that produces white splotches on the skin. His supporters also defended for him, saying that his skin color had nothing to do with his race.

In 1991, his song "Black or White" was released. The lyrics of that song repeatedly assured his fans that "it don't matter if you are black or white." The song was widely explained as a way for Jackson to show he wanted to cross the race boundary and many people wondered if the song title applied to Jackson himself.

Some alleged that Jackson changed his skin color because he was ashamed of being black, but he himself had never said much to the reason why.

Those who knew him well say he always maintained his black identity. As a trailblazer for a new breed of global multimedia stars, he helped create an era in which race was a piece, rather than the definition, of a person.

"I think that Michael really, in his career, just transcended race. His work and his life was sort of about un-defining race," said Bill Bottrell, who co-produced "Black or White" and worked closely with Jackson from 1986 into the early 1990s.

"He obscured the issue, or obscured it at least as far as he was concerned, or just transcended the issue," Bottrell said.

"I watched him with his friends, they came from all walks of life. He certainly surrounded himself with lots of African Americans, also a lot of white people, including me," said Bottrell.

Reena Daruwalla questioned Jackson's intention to change his skin color in the website: When a person who has spent incalculable amounts of time, energy, effort; to say nothing of actual money in getting from Black to White, one does indeed raise the eyebrows. If it actually "Don't matter if you are black or white," why try so hard to achieve Caucasian looking facial features?

Daruwalla continued that the change in skin color may well be the result of an actual and ineluctable illness rather than something achieved by design; however admittedly repeated procedures of plastic surgeries to achieve distinctly non-African American looking nose, cheekbones, chin, brow bones, lips "does not sound like a person who is particularly unconcerned with his racial characteristics."

But some Chinese Americans who joined a discussion over a local radio program in Los Angeles held that it is understandable for Jackson to try to achieve Caucasian looking. Jackson faced tremendous pressure and hardship on his way to the King of Pop at a time when racial discrimination existed and still exists.

They said time has changed. Now Barack Obama was elected the first African American president in U.S. history, and Oprah Winfrey does not have to worry about her black skin. But 20 or 30 years ago, a person's color did matter.

It was reported that workplace discrimination based on color or skin tone is still a problem in the United States. The number of complaints filed with the U.S. courts and administrative agencies is growing.

Such unlawful conduct is predicated not on a person's specific race or nationality, but on the shade of his or her skin, often involving disputes between people of the same race and among individuals who act on cultural biases based on whether a person's skin tone is lighter or darker.

माइकल ज्याक्सनलाई सम्झँदा !!
कति नेपालको राजनीतिको मात्र कुरा गर्नु, आज कुरा गरौँ एउटा त्यस्तो पात्रको, जसले विश्वका सबैलाई आफ्नो तालमा नचाएका थिए। हजुर, आधा शताब्दी लामो जीवन बिताएर आजै बिहान निधन भएका माइकल ज्याक्सन त्यसो त आफ्नो जीवनको उत्तरार्द्धमा आएर निकै विवादमा परे। तर रंगभेद कायम रहेको त्यो बेलाको समयमा गरिब कालो परिवारमा जन्मिएर देशको सीमा नाघेर विश्वभर अंग्रेजी पप संगीतलाई लोकप्रिय बनाए उनले। विश्वलाई सांस्कृतिक रुपमा अमेरिकीकरण गराउने अभियानमा उनको प्रभावलाई कम आँक्न मिल्दैन। असीको दशकमा नेपालमा पनि निकै लोकप्रिय थिए उनी। हाम्रो घरमा माइकल ज्याक्सनका फोटोहरु मात्र छापिएको एउटा म्यागेजिन थियो। असीको दशकमा हामी त्यो हेरेर निकै दंग पर्थ्यौँ।
कसरी नाच्ने होला है त्यस्तोसँग ? हामी अचम्ममा पर्थ्यौँ।

उनको बहुचर्चित थ्रिलर एल्बमको म्युजिक भिडियो पहिलो पटक मैले एमटीभीमा हेरेको थिएँ। त्यो हरर मुभी स्टाइलको म्युजिक भिडियोबाट निकै आकर्षित भएको थिएँ म। भीसीआरमा रेकर्ड गरेर त्यो म्युजिक भिडियो अनगिन्ती पटक मैले हेरेको थिएँ।

मोस्ट वान्टेड भन्ठानेको त सुटुक्क सुनुवाईमा रिहा भैसकेको

नेपालका अदालतमा स्वच्छ रुपमा न्याय सम्पादन हुन सकिरहेको छैन भनेर त न्याय क्षेत्रले नै भनिरहेको कुरा हो। यसमा सुधार गर्ने आश्वासन, प्रयास जारी छ भन्ने गरिन्छ। तर आज पत्रपत्रिकामा छापिएको एउटा खबरले भने त्यस्तो प्रयास अझै पनि अपुग भएको स्पष्टै भएको छ।
कुरा काठमाडौँका चर्चित डन राजु गोर्खालीको हो। नौ वर्षअघि रोयल डिस्कोमा तरबारले हानेर बेबिलोन डिस्कोका सञ्चालक राकेश लिम्बुको हत्या गरेको अभियोगमा प्रहरीले उनलाई मोस्ट वान्टेड अपराधीको रुपमा राखी खोजतलास गर्दै थियो। प्रहरीले प्रत्यक्षदर्शीहरु पनि प्रशस्तै जुटाएको थियो। राजनीतिक दबाबलाई पनि पटक्क नटेर्ने प्रहरी अधिकारी भनिने एसपी नवराज सिलवालको नेतृत्वमा आइतबार साँझ प्रहरीले कमलपोखरीबाट उनलाई गिरफ्तार गर्‍यो। तर उनीहरु त्यतिबेला तीन छक्क परे, जब थाहा पाए कि यी मोस्ट वान्टेड भनाउँदा त तीन महिना पहिले नै अदालतमा साधारण तारिखमा रिहा भइसकेका रहेछन्।जुन मुद्दामा मोस्ट वान्टेड भन्दै पक्रिएको थियो, त्यो मुद्दामा जिल्ला अदालतले उनलाई पहिले नै साधारण तारेखमा रिहा गरिसकेको हुनाले अहिले सार्वजनिक अपराध मुद्दा दायर गरी छ दिन हिरासतमा राख्ने म्याद थपेको रहेछ। कारण- पक्रने बेलामा प्रहरीमाथि हातपात र अपशब्द प्रयोग गरेको।
आजका पत्रपत्रिकामा उल्लेख भए अनुसार प्रहरीलाई समेत थाहै नदिई काठमाडौँ जिल्ला अदालतमा सुनुवाई हुँदा न्यायाधीश हेमराज पन्तको इजलासले प्राप्त प्रमाणका आधारमा उनलाई साधारण तारेखमा रिहा गर्ने आदेश दिएको रहेछ।
यही कान्डमा अर्का अभियुक्त उमेश गुरुङ यही मुद्दामा जन्मकैद भुक्तान गरिरहेका छन्। सहअभियुक्त चाहिँ जन्मकैदमा मुख्य अभियुक्त चाहिँ साधारण तारेखमा रिहा।
हत्या २०५९ माघ ४ मा भएको थियो। तर गोर्खालीले माघ ३ गते नै ५ बजे गोरखा एयरलाइन्सबाट सिमरा गएको टिकट प्रमाण देखाएछन्। त्यहाँ पुगेर बिरामी भई कलैया अस्पतालमा उपचार गराइरहेको कागजात पनि देखाइदिएछन्।
अनि डिस्को मै काम गर्ने त्यत्रा मान्छ्ले दिएको उनीविरुद्धको बयान ? त्यो त तलब नबढाइदिएकोले त्यसो भनेका रे, उनले बयानमा त्यसै भनेछन्।
अदालतको प्रक्रिया लामो, झण्झटिलो हुने गर्छ। तर कान्तिपुरमा छापिएको समाचार अनुसार यसमा त ‘जाहेरवाला पक्षलाई नझिकाई एकै दिनमा सबै कानुनी प्रक्रिया पूरा गरिएको’ रहेछ।
खासमा उनलाई प्रहरीले पक्रेर अदालतमा पेश गर्नुपर्ने थियो। तर प्रहरीलाई थाहै नदिई उनी त अदालतमा पेश भइसकेर पनि साधारण तारेखमा रिहा भएर अझ प्रहरीसँग लुकेर बसिरहेका रहेछन्।
गज्जबै छ है नेपालमा पनि। कुरो सुन्दा नि अचम्म लाग्ने।

मुटुभरि माया..

प्रिय,

तिमीलाई मुटुभरि माया !

तिमीसँग छुटेको झण्डै दुई दिन भएछ। क्षण प्रतिक्षण तिम्रो यादले सताइरहेको छ। तिमी र म चार महिनादेखि कस्तोसँग जोडियौं भने बिहानै उठेर तिमीलाई म 'शुभ प्रभात' भन्थें। शुभरात्रि नभनी निद्रा लाग्दैनथ्यो । सपनाभरि तिमी नै तिमी हुन्थ्यो। मेलापात चौपारी जताततै तिमी नै तिमी।

तिमीसँगको सान्निध्य अब टुंगिएको छ। छोटो समयदेखिको लगाव भए पनि त्यसले गहिरो गरी मेरो मुटुमा छाप छोडेको रहेछ। नजिक बस्दा भन्दा टाढा हुँदा झन् धेरै तिमी याद आइरहेकी छ्यौं। मैले सोचेको पनि थिइँन् तिम्रो र मेरो प्रेम यति छिट्टै छुट्छ भनेर। हुन त प्रेम टुट्दैन, माया मनमा छ तर हाम्रो भेट अब त्यसरी भइरहने छैन। तिमीमार्फत् कति धेरै प्रियसँग भेट हुने गरेको थियो, अहिले पनि सम्झिरहेको छु। फरक यति हो- अब अर्कै बिसौनीमा मैले ती सबै प्रियजनलाई भेट्नेछु।

कुनै काम हाम्रा बानी बन्छन्। अनलाइन हुनासाथ तिमी मेरो कम्प्युटरको पर्दामा आउथ्यौं। तिमीलाई म हेरिरहन्थें, कहिले सुम्सुम्याउँथें। तिमी आँखा झिमझिम पारेर मलाई जिस्क्याउथ्यौं। हाम्रा ती प्रणयपूर्ण दिन सम्झँदा अहिले पनि म भावुक हुन्छु। साँच्ची यो संसारमा तिमी जति प्रिय अरु कोही छैन भन्ने लाग्थ्यो मलाई। समयले सबै कुरा परिवर्तन गर्‍यो। अब तिमीलाई म मनमनै मात्र माया गर्न सक्छु र त्यो माया अरुलाई गर्नेभन्दा भिन्न हुने छैन।

म सम्झन्छु भ्यालेन्टाइनस्डेको दिन, तिमी र म कत्ति साह्रै जिस्केका थियौं । तिमीलाई हेरेर म दंग पर्थें । मलाई हेरेर तिमी। सबैजना त्यो दिन व्यस्त थिए। कसैलाई फुर्सद थिएन। धेरै कम मात्र कार्यालय आएका थिए। मेरा केही साथी प्रेमिका भेट्न छट्पटाइरहेका थिए। मैले उनीहरुलाई बिदा गरें। तर म भने तिमीसँगै बसिरहें। तिमीलाई हेरिरहें। शायद् यस्तै यस्तै अरु धेरैलाई भइरहेको हुन सक्छ। मैले भने तिमीलाई बेहिसाब माया गरेको रहेछु।

एक दिन म प्रातः भ्रमणका लागि निस्कन लागेको थिएँ। अँध्यारै थियो, तिमीलाई सम्झें। बिजुली बालें। कम्प्युटर खोलें। तिमी कम्प्युटरको पर्दामा मुस्कुराउँदै आयौं। अर्को साइटमा एकैछिन छिरें। त्यहाँ एउटा राम्रो फूल फुलिरहेको थियो, त्यसलाई टिपेर ल्याएँ र तिम्रो चुल्ठोमा सजाइदिएँ। आहा... तिमी कति राम्री देखियौं। एकैछिनमा पूर्वी आकासमा लालिमा छायो। बालसूर्यका कलिला किरण धरतीमा आए। ती प्रिय किरण मलाई सुम्सुम्याउँदै अघि बढे। तिमी पनि कम्प्युटरको स्क्रिनमा मुस्कायौं।

यस्तो त कति पटक भयो भयो। कति पटक तिमीलाई हेर्दाहेर्दै म निदाएको छु। तिम्रा कलिला हात सुम्सुम्याउँदै म तन्द्रामा परेको छु। कति जरुरी काम तिमीसँग बस्दाबस्दै छुटेका छन्। शायद यसैलाई प्रेम भन्छन् क्यार !

समयको खेल हो। सम्बन्ध सँधै बनिरहँदैनन्। क्षणक्षणमा बदलिइरहन्छन् ती। आज मेरो सम्बन्ध फेरिएको छ। तिमी केबल मेरा सम्झनामा छ्यौं। तर मैले शुभप्रभात भन्ने वा शुभरात्रि भन्ने अर्कै आएकी छिन् । तिमीले छिट्टै चिन्नेछ्यौं तिनलाई। तिनी भर्खरै कम्प्युटरको पर्दामा देखिन थालेकी छिन्। उनी पर्दामा कतिबेला झुल्किने होला भनेर प्रतीक्षा गरेको झण्डै दुई दिन भइसकेको छ। तिमीलाई छाडेको र उनलाई प्रतीक्षा गरेको समय उतिउति नै भएको छ। कस्तो बैचैन समय। प्रतीक्षाको घडी यस्तै हुन्छ।

एउटा कुरा निश्चित हो अनलाइन पत्रकारिता तिमीसँगको मेरो प्रेम पहिलो हो। त्यो प्रेमका मिठासपूर्ण सम्बन्ध म कहाँ बिर्सन सक्छु र ? त्यसबाट मैले सिकेको त्यो प्रेम दोस्रो प्रेमका निम्ति पूँजी हुनेछ। यो अनुभवका निम्ति तिमीलाई लाखलाख धन्यवाद।

म अलि फरक छु। माया गर्दा म पूरै मुटु दिन्छु। तिमीलाई त्यसैगरी दिएको थिएँ यो मुटु। अब भने यो मुटु अर्कैतिर है।
                                                                                                                       उही तिम्रो…................

Maoist for powerful People’s Representative Assembly

June 19 - The Unified CPN (Maoist) on Friday prepared its model of new constitution with “People's Representative Assembly” having the ultimate power.
Maoist Spokesperson Dinanath Sharma said that the politburo meeting that convened in the capital today discussed the party's concept of the new constitution.
The Maoists in their earlier model had mentioned about the presidential election through the direct electoral system and the elected president enjoying the ultimate executive power.
The new concept also mentions that the judicial body will be elected by the people's representative assembly.
As per the new concept, mixed electoral system will be adopted by electing representatives from all class, sex and region.

When I dream

A lifetime of worry and regret,

filled with fears and unfulfilled dreams not met.

Not yet, no safety net, losing life's bet

and nothing to show for it

but tears and my sweat.

Hurtin' back, heart attack.

No one cuttin' me no slack.

Cuz' I'm a woman, on top of that-

I'm Black, to be exact!

And what if I did dream of being something else.

What to do? Too late now anyway...

this is the card life dealt.

Oh but if I'd kept my eyes closed

just a little while longer. I would have been stronger.

Yeah, and I would have believed all the dreams

yet to dream and I'd discover that

I could have been so much more...

Press Chautari Nepal chairman Shambhu Shrestha submits memorandum to PM Madhav Kumar Nepal demanding guarantee of press freedom and security to journalists, among others, at the PMO, Singha Durbar, Wednesday June 10

‘Revoke action against Katawal’

POST REPORT-

Constitutional experts on Wednesday advised Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal to revoke the Maoist-led government's decision to sack Chief of the Army Staff Rookmangud Katawal.

The prime minister had invited legal experts and senior lawyers at his office on Wednesday to seek advice on whether or not to roll back the previous administration's decision to sack the Army chief.

"All legal experts said the Maoist government's decision was illegal. They said the new government can correct the decision," a Minister who attended the meeting told the Post. The lawyers' team comprised Nepal Bar Association Chairman Bishwo Kanata Mainali, senior lawyers Radhe Shyam Adhikari, Harihar Dahal, Badri Bahadur Karki, Agni Kharel, Bhimarjun Acharya, Shambhu Thapa, Tika Ram Bhattarai, Surya Dhungel and Lalit Bahadur Basnet.

They said as the coalition partners had boycotted the Cabinet meeting and rejected the Maoist proposal, the Pushpa Kamal Dahal-led government had turned into minority one when it decided to sack Katawal. They added that the decision was unconstitutional as it was unilaterally taken and was not implemented through the recommendation of Prime Minister. The Cabinet meeting scheduled for Thurdsay is likely to endorse the President's move to reinstate the Army chief.

मेरै गोरुको, बारै ट्क्का, छोडेन भडुवाले लेडे ढिप्पी।

प्रडो पाजेरो, माडेको घरमा, नेता बिक्यो पैशाको लागी
लाज सरम, सबै चपाए, नेतालाई लाग्यो भोक मारी।

बनाउ नेपाल, सुन्दर सान्त, बिश्वमा नेपाली चिनाउन
नगरी युद, भैइ एक जुट, बनाउ हामीले नेपाल।

सबैले भनौ, जय२ नेपाल, नेपाली सब समान
हातमा हात राखी, कसम खाई, बनाउ हाम्रो नेपाल।

Lifestyle of Neplease : in Sydney,NSW

Sydney is Australia's biggest, oldest and most exciting city - and one of the great seaports of the world. It is also the nation's most popular tourist destination.

Founded just over 200 years ago as a British penal settlement, Sydney has grown rapidly to become a glamorous international city boasting the best the world has to offer. The city now embraces a rich multicultural community that totals almost four million people.

Sydney, the capital of the Australian State of New South Wales, is a safe, fresh, friendly destination with a warm, sunny climate that makes a visit perfect in any season. In fact, at least 240 days of sunshine a year means your visit will be as bright as the sparkling, ever-visible harbour.

Sydney's magnificent harbour is clearly the focal point of Sydney's appeal and the relaxed, outdoor lifestyle of its fortunate residents.

Each day and night, visitors and residents alike board cruise boats, commuter ferries, and sailing boats to enjoy the harbour's incredible beauty and the unparalleled views of two of the world's most famous attractions - the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The Opera House is acclaimed as the most outstanding building of the 20th century, and when you cruise past its huge billowing sails hovering above the water, you will surely agree.

After photographing the Opera House, you will join trading vessels and luxury cruise liners from around the world as you sail beneath the vast arch of the nearby Harbour Bridge, which itself provides breathtaking views of the harbour.

The wildlife at Sydney's world-class Taronga Zoo, perched high above the harbour, also enjoy fabulous vistas. A spectacular cable car ride from the fern/ wharf leads to exhibits showcasing Australia's unique wildlife, including kangaroos, cuddly koalas, emus, wombats and kookaburras, as well as the world's most exotic animals.

But the harbour view to beat all harbour views can be enjoyed from the top of Australia's highest lookout - Sydney Tower - which soars above the city's striking skyline to provide a sweeping panorama of Sydney's waterways, attractive suburbs, wide open spaces, lush gardens and Australia's famous beaches.

The most famous beach of all, just 15 minutes from downtown Sydney, is Bondi Beach where, on a hot day, more than 50,000 sun-seekers will gather to bask in the sunshine, cool off in the crystal-clear surf and enjoy a colorful selection of beach- side cafes.

But you don't need a hot day for an excuse to swim at Sydney's great beaches. The ideal climate makes swimming possible all year round.

Another popular trip is by ferry or high-speed jet-cat from Circular Quay in the city centre, past forested headlands, and on to the pretty seaside suburb of Manly, another favorite playground for Sydneysiders. Here, you will find big uncrowded beaches, lively promenades, even more lively outdoor entertainment and restaurants offering cuisine from every corner of the globe.

Sydney boasts a diverse ethnic population, with people from around 160 countries now peacefully settled throughout the city. This has created a rich and colorful lifestyle envied around the world......

'Nepalese students involved in sex trade in Australia'

As large number of Nepali students flocked to Australia, reports said many of such students were suspected of being involved in sex trade.

Nepali Embassy in Australia recently wrote to foreign and finance ministries suspecting that girl students from Nepal were involved in flesh trade to meet their cost of living in Australia, reported the Annapurna Post daily.

In the letter Nepalese ambassador to Australia Yogendra Dhakal, has urged the government to take this issue seriously, as it could take a worse turn in the wake of the global financial crisis.

In the letter, the embassy has suggested the government to bring regulations for education consultancies in Nepal, orient Nepali students properly and ensure that they have funds required for the completion of studies in Australia before giving a no objection letter.

According to the embassy, there are about 17,000 Nepalese students in Australia. Hundreds of people who were working in good positions in Nepal have also gone to Australia seeking diploma in different courses in the pursuit of PR, said the report referring the letter.

I LOVE U SO MUCH

What I Love About You......

The sparkle in your eye,

The warmth of your skin.

Your breath on my neck,

That quivers within.

The touch of your hand,

The smell of your hair.

The kindness in your smile,

That strength in your stare.

Your kiss on my lips,

Your body near mine.

The stroke of your touch,

That feeling inside.

The sound of your voice,

Compassion in your embrace.

The serenity in your stride,

The power in your face.

The calming of your presence,

The beating of your heart.

The promise of tomorrow,

That we may never part.

The beauty of your kiss,

and that magic in your touch.

It is for all these reasons and more,

Why I love you so much.

ALWAYS FOR THE FIRST TIME.....**

Always for the first time
Hardly do I know you by sight
You return at some hour of the night to a house at an angle to my window
A wholly imaginary house
It is there that from one second to the next
In the inviolate darkness
I anticipate once more the fascinating rift occurring
The one and only rift
In the facade and in my heart
The closer I come to you
In reality
The more the key sings at the door of the unknown room
Where you appear alone before me
At first you coalesce entirely with the brightness
The elusive angle of a curtain
It's a field of jasmine I gazed upon at dawn on a road in the vicinity of Grasse
With the diagonal slant of its girls picking
Behind them the dark falling wing of the plants stripped bare
Before them a T-square of dazzling light
The curtain invisibly raised
In a frenzy all the flowers swarm back in
It is you at grips with that too long hour never dim enough until sleep
You as though you could be
The same except that I shall perhaps never meet you
You pretend not to know I am watching you
Marvelously I am no longer sure you know
You idleness brings tears to my eyes
A swarm of interpretations surrounds each of your gestures
It's a honeydew hunt
There are rocking chairs on a deck there are branches that may well scratch you in the forest
There are in a shop window in the rue Notre-Dame-de-Lorette
Two lovely crossed legs caught in long stockings
Flaring out in the center of a great white clover
There is a silken ladder rolled out over the ivy
There is
By my leaning over the precipice
Of your presence and your absence in hopeless fusion
My finding the secret
Of loving you
Always for the first time.

Andre Breton

When I See..........

When I see the flowers blooming
I want to enjoy and keep smiling
But I am frightened at the same time
That it will wither away in the course of time

When I see the poor people laughing
I want to sit and laugh with them
But I am frightened at the same time
That it may not last for a long time.

When I see someone dancing and joking
I want to dance and joke with them
But I am frightened at the same time
That their enjoyment must end after some time

When I see the drops of rain on the ground
I want to swim in that beautiful lake
But I am frightened at the same time
That it will dry away after some time.

When I see Cattle grazing around
I want to keep on looking leaving my work behind
But i was frightened at the same time
That they must return to their shed after some time.

When I think of all those things
I feel that I have started to understand life,
It’s strange period of time when,
Happy and sad moments come like two sides of a coin......
