I Hate This Part Right Here

Continuing from the last thread…This is also one of my current favourite songs….I hate this part right here…by Pussycat Dolls…

Largely due to the lyrics…

We’re driving slow through the snow on 5th Avenue
And right now radio’s all that we can hear
Now we ain’t talk since we left, it’s so over due
It’s cold outside but between us it’s worse in here

The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

I can’t take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don’t wanna try now
All that’s left’s goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can’t take your tears
I hate this part right here

Everyday, 7 takes of the same old scene
Seems we’re bound by the laws of the same routine
Gotta talk to you now ‘fore we go to sleep
But will we sleep once I tell you what’s hurting me

The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

I can’t take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don’t wanna try now
All that’s left’s goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can’t take your tears
I hate this part right here

I know you’ll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothing’s wrong
But there is no more time for lies
‘Cause I see sunset in your eyes

I can’t take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don’t wanna try now
All that’s left’s goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

That I gotta do it,
I gotta do it,
I gotta do it
I hate this part
I gotta do it,
I gotta do it,
I gotta do it

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can’t take these tears
I hate this part right here

Heartless

As many would know already, the party scene is quite grand in Sydney. Parties are on every night…and go on till very late. At times this comes as great surprise to Indians new to Australia. In India, there is a ban on pubs to run past midnight. In Sydney, parties normally start warming up at midnight .

I haven’t been out a lot in the past couple of months. Not really a new year’s resolution, just haven’t had the chance. Owing a lot to the partying before, I have become a huge fan of RnB (Rhythm and Blues). Some of the artists currently hot in my playlist are: The Pussycat dolls, Rhianna, Chris Brown, Craig David, Jordin Sparks, Kate Perry, Shontelle, Ne Yo, Wyclef,  and Kanye West.

If you haven’t, please get hold of Kanye’s new song: Heartless

The lyrics of the song (courtesy Lyrix.com)

In the night I hear them talk, The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road, He lost his soul,
To a woman so heartless…How could you be so heartless?

How could you be so, Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo…You need to watch the way you talking to me yo
I mean after all the things that we been through….I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know some things you things that you aint told me
And yo I did some things but thats the old me

And now you wanna pay me back…You gonna show me
So you walk round like you don’t me…You got them new friends
Well I got hommies…But at the end its still so lonely

In the night i hear them talk,The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road…He lost his soul,
To a woman so heartless

I just like the song…does not imply or suggest anything else…not at this point in time anyways

1 second of fame

I was deep into a conversation with my Dad. About life in general, work, what lies ahead….family….and so on…Suddenly he said…”Oh yeah…I forgot to mention, your snap was on television”….and I am like…”WHAT??”

Apparently this was on a programme, titled “Housefull” on Zee TV Marathi (8th Jan 2009). Curious I asked them, what was it about. Although I should I guessed. Housefull normally showcases new plays, playwrights and whats happening in general in the theatre scene in Maharashtra.

Mahesh Elkunchwar was being paid a tribute in the “22nd Arvind Deshpande Smruti Mahotsav (Festival)” produced/sponsored by the “Avishkar” group. I have mentioned before that Mahesh Elkunchwar is my grand-uncle on my father’s side.  I am sorry to say that there was little/no information available on Arvind Deshpande. I will have to some more digging and I promise to have someone knowledgeable (mostly my Dad) to fill me in on this. The Festival itself is said to run from the 6th-10th of Jan in Mumbai (not Pune, I stand corrected) at the Yashwant Rao Chavhan Theatre. They are to showcase numerous of Mahesh-kaka’s plays.

While this tribute comes as no surprise, since he is one of the most well known playwrights in Marathi Theatre, it always is heart warming to see people rekindling his magic on stage. While we all Elkunchwars feel proud and are in awe of his achievement, my parents just got a tinge of pride to see his snap with me on the Tele. Take a peek for yourself…This was taken at his residence some 3-4 years ago or so.

Thanks Dad for uploading this video. I am sure Lucky (the neighbour’s dog) and their squeals of laughter and pride when I come on, do not interrupt the user experience . I hope you watch the video, and if you are keen on knowing I appear for 1 second…between seconds 57 and 58 .

It is funny, to even think about this, but I am curious to know if they asked for his permission to display these snaps.I would be most surprised if they did. I guess, they could have used so many snaps…I just tried to Google Mahesh Elkunchwar under images and got a lot of good snaps. I saw some of them in the video….this one with me and him…appeared third on the list …. I guess I am partly to blame as I put it up on my blog before….and as far as I remember I don’t recall seeking his permission either That doesn’t mean this was “ok”.

Taken out of context, snaps could be shameful and disastrous in the tabloids. I am not a famous personality caught doing suspicious things on camera. He is one though….thankfully…neither is he…in this case and well…. I am not flinching one bit. May be my only concern was that the snap could have been a touched up a bit …I am not as dark as I seem in that snap….come to think of it, neither is he .

I hope one day, people will look at my snap…and the person next to me…will well up with pride….for now…I will take the other stance….cherish my 1 second of TV fame…congratulate Mahesh Kaka….and well…bask in the glory of being an Elkunchwar
