Former Voice star Christina Grimmie shot dead outside Florida concert

A gunman opened fire at a Florida concert venue as singer Christina Grimmie signed autographs for fans after a show, killing the onetime star of The Voicebefore shooting and killing himself, officials have said.

A publicist for Grimmie, Heather Walsh, said in an email early on Saturday that “we can confirm that Christina has passed and went home to be with the Lord”. The Orlando police department also confirmed on its official Twitter page that Grimmie had died.

Police said that the 22-year-old singer had performed with the band Before You Exit at The Plaza Live in Orlando. The concert ended about 10pm, and Grimmie was shot as she signed autographs for fans at a merchandise table.

Grimmie’s brother immediately tackled the gunman, who then shot and killed himself during the struggle, police said.

The gunman was not identified, and police have not said why he attacked the singer. An investigation is continuing, but police credited the singer’s brother with preventing the gunman from hurting others.

Grimmie, who was born in New Jersey, finished third during season six of the US series of The Voice, competing on the team of Maroon 5 star Adam Levine.

She began amassing a following on YouTube as a teenager, gripping online viewers with her powerful renditions of hit songs. Several of her videos on YouTube have garnered millions of views.

When reports of Grimmie’s death first surfaced, #PrayforChristina was the top trending hashtag on Twitter. After her death was confirmed, #RIPChristina became the top trending hashtag as Grimmie’s fans took to social media to express an outpouring of grief.

The Voice paid tribute to Grimmie on its official Twitter page: “There are no words. We lost a beautiful soul with an amazing voice.”

Grimmie had posted a video of herself shortly before the concert was scheduled to begin, encouraging fans to come see her perform.

Levine posted a photo of himself with Grimmie on Instagram, commenting before her death was confirmed: “I’m sad, shocked and confused. We love you so much Grimmie. We are all praying hard that you can pull through this ... this just isn’t fair.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in 2014 that Grimmie moved to Los Angeles in 2012 after joining Selena Gomez on tour to focus on her singing career.

“I’m done being surprised by cool things she does. She’s very talented and she’s worked incredibly hard; it’s a dangerous combination,” her brother, Mark Grimmie, told the newspaper at the time.

Colors of Life

Have you even watched colours of life I have watch plenty of them
In each and every incidence that happened in my life or in your life
Each person seems like posses some quality in their thinking and life
Each has it's own beauty and each has it's own strength
But when I watch it carefully I shocked to see it's weakness
How much hard it struggled to hide but each have weakness
Which manage to come in light after some time of our life
We don't which colour to choice because each has weakness
It will stand with us with it's strength but we always feel it's weakness
In our life we see plenty of colours but when we like one
We feel that we know perfectly well benefits and short backs of colour
We will feel sure that we know that colour has some weakness
Which hurt our heart but still we feel it has some weakness
We thought that we have some weakness which we will adjust in heart
But there are plenty of colours which we really like from heart
From those colours we see some weakness which are just part of heart
Each colour have some type of feeling which are touching for heart
And so engrossed in that beauty of that colour we just ignore other part
Or may be if I say truth we don't have enough brain to understand fault
So we assume in our life totally wrong and different fault
Then we choose that colour as our life's part but sadly we never
Have enough strength to understand truth about colour or it's fault
So we assume something and then we have wonderful start
Our beginning of work we may get shocked when we saw that
The colour which is too different from the colour which we think
Colour which we chosen from brain as well as our heart
So when that colour turn out to be totally wrong we find it hard
To adjust with that colour at all but question is that do you think
That colour is so bad and ask your self can't you change that person
And adjust with that person's thinking and thoughts because if you
Change that colour what guarantee you have in your heart
That you can adjust with other colour and it's all fault because
You can understand any thing but problem arises when you need
To understand other person's mind and fault because they are
So hidden inside that person and inside that person's thought
That some times even that person don't understand the fault
So in life we can never understand that person's thinking and fault
Because if they are hidden in their mind what chance we have
To understand their thinking as well as their all type of faults
So when we took some person on our side never feel confident
That you will win that war because unless you fully understand
You can never understand that person's skills which will used in war
In life on every spot we just feel that we need to understand
Every one who stood with us in each and every type of war
But we can't understand a person until that moment when
Things turn the way when they are not good at all and
Some person on some moments act perfectly in every war
While some person are so sweet on happy times and turn
Their back as soon as they saw problems were falling on all
They just can't manage problem is worst weakness of person's life
But you can handle it but question that will that person try it
So in our life we all want person not so weak but if that one fight with it
That person can become most strongest person in your team.

Alone in our life

When I sit alone on roller coaster I feel some one is beside me
When I am laughing in happiness it laughs with me in life
When I cry in sorrow it stand beside me it gives support in it's way
But I don't  know what it is? then I think it must be part of my heart
That sit beside me because I never want to be left alone I am standing with me
So this is our life we need to learn stood with our self in our whole life
We can meet some friends or enemies but they are just few minutes
Guest in our life some will help us and some try to destroy our life
But they are all just guest in our life we think those who relate to us
Are some part of our life we feel that are some thing than just guest in life
Even after hearing from lot of people we come alone and go alone in life
Still we every day believe some people are important and valuable in life
And then we get involve in them so much that we forget our own life
We began to think those person are just important for our life
And then we make mistake of forgetting our identity in our life
We forgot every thing taught to us by every person in our life
Slowly we just feel people those who surround us are real part of our life
But sadly in our life we just never understand this truth of our life
We always think that our life is nothing but just people around us in life
More people stood with us and we have more success in our life
But do you think just big line of people can change your life
But many times we get convinced by this concept of our life
That everything we do is just for people who are part of our life
On each and every day we just spend in finding what will those people like
And what will those people will do in their life but sadly one thing is true
We don't need those all people in our life they will just stay with us
For few moment and afterwards they just left our life so we spend
Our every moment on some person who finally going to leave us in life
Why should we have change our life just for those who never really
Become that important in life because at one problem you see one person
But other person is with you when another problem arise
Which is indicates that those person are not going to be same every time
So no one is special and no one is ordinary in life because who will help us
Is depend on some one who is unknown to us called god by all in life
Even those who don't have time to think about god in life
Still god gives them equal chance in life so it doesn't matter what you do
But be sure of one thing crime will stay in life with you
Since god has given every one equal chance in life but no mistake
Will go unpunished in god's rule this is what I think but you can have
Your own thinking and your own rule because no rule is perfect
In life since we never know what is our life's true and original rule
We all have to find real rules but one thing is common in them all
That we always stood alone in our life on each and every moment of world
Because this is truth of life may be we get some person who stood by your side
But always remember they are just those people who luckily walking
Same road with you in life they may stay with you on your whole way
Still they are just guest in life they are those guest who come to your house
And then become inseparable part of your life after all they cry with you
On each moment of trouble and smile with you on each moment of fun in life
So after all in life when we die we are going to go alone out of  life
And then we just miss them all if we get too attach to your life
So it's better to be prepare because we have to learn to live alone in life
And I tell you if you understand your self properly then
You can enjoy both thing staying alone and staying with other's in life
It seems so unfair that we just manage to stay in one form in life
And never manage to live in other form of life after all in life
We always think just live in one form is enough for our life
But we have to learn to live in both the form of our life
And this is necessary and most required in every part of life.

Weather

When the cold wind touches me in winter I feel it's so cold and harsh
I want a warm for my heart because I think with warm will please my heart
I want sun to watch and suddenly sun became dearest to my heart
I want it's heat and every thing from heart it warms me up from my heart
At that moment I feel so sure that I need heat from each part
When the warm wind touches me in summer I just feel it is necessary for heart
I fall in love with sun so much that sun began to appear in my every part
At that moment in the sky we just search for sun and sun become
So necessary for me that I go out every moment and search for sun
When sun goes behind the cloud and enjoy each moment of joy
I feel as if sun is taking away all pleasure with me and moment of joy
And sun is taking away with me all sort of fun and I feel so angry at cloud
That it just took away my precious sun and beauty of that sun always
Lift up my heart and on each and every day they lift up spirits of heart
But then after some days sun comes once again at home or may be I should
Say I return from holidays to my home because sun hardly left my home
But then once again I see the heat of sun which comes and irritates me
And slowly reduce all sort of fun because due to which we feel so exhaust in world
Then on every moment we feel up shift from our heart
On each and every moment that sun kills our fun and which was part our life
And always like to enjoy every moment and all sort of fun and this is
What is happens when sun always exhaust us on each and every moment
And then on our face and body we feel sweat is rising instead of life and fun
On every day of life we enjoy each thing and we began to feel cold weather
Is gift god and fun so we want that sun to hide behind cloud and
Once again enjoy life with why god have gifted us with so harsh weather
Some times things are so cold and some times they are too hot with sun
Non of weather is nice and full of fun which we can easily enjoyed
In every weather seems to have some side effect on every person's life
If only god turn it into some thing pleasant it may please our life
Many people seems to think just these mood swing happen due to weather
And it's bad effects on our life but do you really think this is true
Can weather effect so much to mankind then why some people remain
Smiling even in hot weather you can see in that heat working and
At same time enjoying and laughing many worker while at same type
Other lot of same group complaining regarding god and nature
So truth of life is that we can enjoy every part of nature if we try little hard
We can always manage to win heart of all sort of person
So this is our life which is so strange that we can able to enjoy
As we wish from weather may weather are not that extreme these are just
Fault of our mind as well as fault of our destiny and our nature
How angry we may get at that nature but still after some days
We just can't enjoy opposite side of nature after all nature is some thing
Which always remain same we can never going to change destiny of nature
It will remain that way nothing will effect it if you call it nice or call it worst
May we should learn this things from nature look at this nature
It does everything as you wish and never think about talk of other
After all nature is doing it's duty and we just blame it for our fun
We all know that nature is not at fault but blaming other is human nature
And many people just imitate other person's thought just to start conversation
So many times I found myself saying it so hot is this weather to just
Start and then enjoy with some one a conversation how strange is that
Even to begin to talk we need our weather still we spend lot of hours
Behind blaming the heat or the cold in our nature or weather.

Parallel Lines

Saket was working hard to get his promotion.Each year it was a struggle to him.His family accepted that he would get promoted at least this time.He always tried hard.But every time some one else would take that promotion away from him.But this time he was working very hard.There was his younger sister's photo on his table.He was looking at it.Suddenly he felt that his hand was moving.He could clearly see that his hand was going towards that photo.But he could not stop it.His hand went to that photo and thrown away that photo.It made a loud voice.Suddenly all his colleagues started looking at him.Parag"Saket why did you throw away that photo?"Other colleague"Look at the mess you have created.Are you out of your mind?You will have to act carefully in this office.""Some body call the peon.""I just don't understand.How careless one person will be?"Then peon came,when he saw the mess.He was very angry and upset.Peon"It was not my duty to clean such mess."Parag "So you want extra money for cleaning it? Then may be I just go tell the boss how many times you went outside to talk to your friends and drink a tea."Peon was scared after hearing this.Peon"No sir.I was just joking."Then he quietly cleaned the mess.But there was anger in his eyes.Finally he dumped the broken frame on Saket's table.Saket didn't say anything because he was very confused.It was his hand.But still it didn't feel like his hand.He felt that as if some one else had taken control of his hand.Even now he was afraid to use that hand.Then Parag patted on his shoulder "What happened Saket take it easy?Many times such things happened to you just ignore it."Parag was very supportive to him.Saket always thought of him as a younger brother.He was five years younger than him still he was going to be on promotion list with him.Some times Saket began to hate all his colleagues.He could read in their eyes that he was failure.They all just pitied him.He just wanted to be felt alone.But after that frame whole office was carefully watching his activities.He was very scared that he would make some mistake and in nervousness.He made a lot of mistakes in his work.Finally Boss called him"Saket what wrong with you?You never made so many mistakes.Do you not interested in working in this company?Just tell me on my face after making so many mistakes how do you expect me to tolerate you?You are turning in to a liability for the company.If you want to keep this attitude it's better you shall search for another job..."After that for many hours Boss continued insulting Saket.But Saket could not hear him at all.His all attention was on his feet because he was making noise with it.He wanted to stop but just couldn't.Thankfully the Boss didn't notice it.
               After this incidence Saket hurriedly went to home.When he reached home,he was quiet relaxed.As soon as he entered his wife began to ask about his promotion.After all she got promoted two years ago and she was expecting promotion this year also.She had such prosperous carrier and she was not as educated as Saket so she expected him to be promoted very soon.She didn't want her husband proved to be loser.Ritu wanted her husband to be winner.Even outwardly she showed that didn't care but inside house.It was different story.Ritu"What happened to your promotion?Why do you not getting it?What do that boss want?""How do I suppose to know?I tried my best.Now if my luck is not ...""Now stop this negative thinking.If you say 'no',you attract wrong thinking.Stop thinking that way.Always say you will do it and see change in your future.Your negative thinking is standing between you and your future..."After that she continued her lecture.This was the way in which Saket's everyday was passing.First his boss then his wife throughout the day he was just receiving one lecture after another.No one was happy with him.Saket just wanted to be left alone.Ritu's talking was making him depress.It was upsetting him more today.Especially after the incidence in the office he was scared about his emotions or his control on his body parts.He couldn't forget when his hand moved by some other power in the room.As if he lost all his control over his body.If that power appeared here and he hit Ritu.It would be end of his future.Ritu should create a drama and left him.She would take children with her.He couldn't live without his children.Ritu"Are you listening to me?Why did I marry such man who has no backbone?Disgusting!!"After insult him like this she finally left the room and Saket thanked his luck.Then his children came running towards him.He started playing with them and forgot all the stress.But after few second they also ran away to play with their friends.Finally Saket was all alone again.His kids also preferred their friends over their father.Saket started looking at fan and continued looking at ceiling.On that moment he was looking at the fan with same attention which an artist give to picture of Mona Lisa.   
            After some time Saket went into his room.He was very angry with his life.He came home.But he was not even offered a tea.He slept on his bed.Form there he could clearly see her sister's photo.This had started because of her.At first Saket was best in his office.Ritu was nothing in front of him.But his sister was diagnosed with cancer.He liked his sister.In old age his parents tried to do their best for their daughter.But she was impossible to be cured.He tried to help her every way.But it was very depressing to him.He always put his family before his career.Ritu didn't like it.In that period he lost his promotion.Ritu started insulting him.It was worst time of his life.But until his sister died.He lost all his family.His parents were just couldn't bear to see their daughter suffering.Their health was suffered.Finally Saket had to arrange three funerals.This had affected Saket.But Ritu was not much affected by it.She thought that after these crisis were over Saket would get promotion.But Saket couldn't manage to get back to the position in which he was before.After that Ritu started making his life miserable.Now everything was changing for bad.He just trapped inside this mess.
          Suddenly Saket felt that he was no longer controlling his body.He could see he was moving.He went to the cupboard.There were many beautiful saris.But he selected the sari Ritu was wearing on wedding day.He wanted to stop himself.But he just couldn't like a robot.He carried on doing the thing which were ordered to him.He started cutting in to pieces.He was very confused.His hands were cutting it.The beautiful border was tearing by his hand.He just couldn't stop his hand.While doing it many times he hurt his hand.There was blood on that sari.He just had to stop himself.But he didn't find his way.Then suddenly his hand was deeply cut and once again.He had his control.But by then whole sari was spoiled.Saket didn't know how did he was going to face Ritu.Then he heard a scream.Ritu was standing at door.She started crying after seeing the condition of sari.Ritu"How did you do this to me?Don't you understand importance of this sari?This was a sari I was wearing on the day of wedding.If you don't understand importance of marriage,why did you marry me?""Ritu I am not doing it.It is happening automatically."After hearing this Ritu started laughing hysterically."You first tear this sari.Now you are saying you are not doing it.I don't see anyone else in this room.""No.I don't mean that.I have done it with my hands.But they were not in my control.""Just shut up.I had it enough.I am not staying with you."She started packing her bags.Saket started pleading with her.Ritu"I am going."Then she started putting children's clothes in the bag.Saket "You can't take children with you.""Of course I am taking them with me.""You can't do it."When he said this sentence.He suddenly felt that he had float out of his body and he could see the things but couldn't control them.He clearly saw that he slapped his wife.He started beating her.Ritu ran away out of the room.He knew he was doing a sin.He was taking those steps which were taking him away from remaining of family.But he just continued throwing thing in Ritu's direction.In heart Saket thanked God that children were not at home.
               Ritu had ran away from the house.After some moments Saket's leg hit to the door and once again he came to senses.For many hours no one came in the home.Finally Ritu came with her brother and his friend.Her brother wanted to argue with Saket.He even started swearing and cursing.He hold Saket's shirt.But Ritu stopped him.Ritu started collecting her clothes and ornaments etc.She took her each and every valuable.When finally she gathered everything.She hurriedly left the room Saket didn't say anything.He couldn't even trust his speaking ability.Saket didn't want to do anything now.
                After that Saket just slept in his room.He was very scared to go out.When for few days Saket didn't go to office many times phone rang.But Saket didn't pick it up.In office work was clearly affected by Saket's absence.Boss always took Saket for granted.He started getting angry when he didn't come.Then he told staff to phone him.When no one could contact him.Boss personally tried to speak to him.Finally Boss decided to search for his friend in staff.Boss"Parag ,Do you know why Saket is absent?""May be he is leaving company?"Parag knew surely that was not the case.But he decided to use this situation for Saket's profit.Now Boss was very scared that he might lose his valuable employee."But I thought he is happy here.""He was not promoted for seven years.""Okay,Okay.I will give him promotion this time."Then boss ordered his secretary to make necessary changes."Now go and told him not to join another company.""He has not gone on leave for many months.""Okay I will give him seven days leave.Now go and tell your friend not to join another company."Parag was very happy.His small lie made big difference in his friend's future.He tried to call Saket.But when Saket didn't pick up the phone,Parag decided to visit his home.
                  When Parag rang the bell for some time the door didn't open.Then Parag started knocking on the door.Parag even began to screaming Saket's name.Many neighbours came out to see what happened.Parag was about to go in direction of that neighbour.When Saket opened the door Saket was looking at his hands and feet.At first he didn't even move to let Parag enter in his house.When Parag told him to let him come inside.He finally moved away.As soon as Parag entered in the house,he shocked to see it's condition.There were no lights in the whole house.Just a table lamp was there.In it's light the house looked more depressing.Even in that light Parag could clearly see that the house was messed up.Parag"Saket where is your family?"After hearing this Saket literally started crying.Then suddenly he started screaming on Parag.  Saket"I think you shall have to go out of here Parag.""What?Are you telling me to get out of your house?I thought that we are friends.I even convinced Boss to give promotion by telling him that you got nice job in big company and now you are throwing me out of your house.Where is your family?And who scattered all things?""My wife left me because it's too dangerous.Staying with me might got her killed.I am killing people unknowingly.""What?Whom did you kill?""I have not killed any one.But a spirit is entering in my body and it will kill any one.I lose control on my body when it entered inside me."After hearing this Parag just wanted to run away from there.But he never believed on ghosts and he was not going to start it now.Parag"Tell me everything."Saket told Parag everything from beginning to end.Saket"I think I am posses by some spirit.""And I think you need a psychiatrist.""You think I am mad.""No I think you are stressed and you need counseling."Saket was in such confused state that he could have agreed to Parag's any opinion.Parag thanked god that he came there.If someone suggested an exorcist,Saket could have willingly agreed to it.
                When they went to psychiatrist at first,he told Saket to tell his problem.After listening to him,he explained"Saket is suffering from Depresonation Disorder.This has happened because of he stress.He suffered during his sister's sickness and afterward.""But Boss is giving him promotion now.""That is not his problem for both.Ritu is an ambitious girl while Saket is not that much ambitious.Saket wanted a peaceful life and Ritu wanted successful life which created stress for both of them."Saket"So what will cure me?""For some days you shall have to stay here.Then I will suggest further things."
                    After some days Saket joined office.For some time he kept Parag always with him.But in few days he gained his confidence and started working hard.After that Saket was most relaxed person in the office.Many times he even joked about his failed marriage.But Parag could see the pain in his eyes.One day one colleague asked Saket "Do you miss your children?""Of course.They are my children.I miss them a lot."Parag didn't want that subject to be talked about because he was scared that it would create bad affect on Saket.But before Parag interfered Saket pointed him to stop and the colleague continued "Can't you patch up with your wife at least for sake of children?Now that you are promoted to such big post.She may come back."But Saket just said"Two parallel lines can't touch each other."And went out of the room to hide his tears.

Wish

When I want to wish I always wish for moon and stars
Whenever I think of God I always look at sky
Many times I began to think was it my mistake to wish the sky?
Because I get many things from ground then why I feel
That god is staying in sky there is drop of rain which comes from sky
So may that is why I always have all hopes from sky
But they are made out of water which is on the ground so
Ground is suddenly become more important that sky but then
Once again I think about sun which always make it work to create the rain
So once again all hopes of finding god on ground seems to vanish
Once again in sky but then one again I look at those mountains
Then once again I began to think may god is on the earth
Look at those beautiful trees and nice sort of nature
I just feel if god is not hear why so beautifully decorated earth by nature
That beauty look like some thing out of heaven if heaven is created on earth
God must be near some where some times in that beauty we want to s  earch god
So that is why we always gives nice things like beautiful flowers
Or many things made by our efforts and made by our mind and art
So beauty is some thing god really want we always seem to think
But do you think it is true for god's heart do you think god really
Stay in beauty and god just feel attracted to beautiful things
I just don't agree about these thing from heart because
Many times when god came on earth god likes to stay away from beautiful part
God never liked to stay palaces or greatest place in fact many times god prefer
Simple and less so then why do we think beauty loved by god so
So I seems like we are forcing our views and liking on god
We all love beauty and we all want to gift all those things which
Are dear to our heart so we always gifted beautiful things to god
On each and every day we always gift things to other person which
Are dear to our heart because gift is something which is a thing precious to our heart
We always only gift those things which are dear to our heart because
This is rule of life that you must every day gift things which are dear to heart
So we gift those beautiful things to our dear god when we even don't
Where god stay still we just assume some place and I think
And I may be to please our heart god may some that places for us
But I have just one question can god dislike some thing because they are hated by us
I don't think god can do it because god may like those thing we like
Because in those things we have our love god just want pure feeling of love
But when it comes to disliking hate will enter in game so may be god
Accept what we like but god never accept in life what we from our heart hate
God will sure accept those thing not because of beauty but because
Of our faith and love but god will hate ugly thing just because we hate them
When we keep them away from god may be we will feel that
We have done some thing wonderful but do you think god like it
God likes it's all creation  because after all god is god
Human being may become bias but it is not in capacity of god
God just have in this world all nice and good things god never have
Anything bad in his mind or he never think bad thing
God never like to punish you until god is forced just because
God don't give good luck every time don't think god don't have hold
God will may change your luck one day when it is unknown to you
But never think that he change your luck just because you gifted to him
God is some thing to whom feeling mean everything and
This is my view but I think god never want costly thing
Normal simple worship or even just good nature is enough for him.
