Objection Tango!

The best song on love and rejection. Shakira puts it across very strongly..

It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't careIf I'm alive or dead


So objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother

Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away


Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about so


Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother


Objection the angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, no no no


I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to beAway from here


This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychoticTango is not for three
Was never meant to be
But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But don't you count on me
Don't you count on me boy


Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother


Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away Get away, get away,
hey hey hey get away he hey
I'm falling apart in your hands again get away he hey
I'm falling apart in your hands again
no way I've got to get away get away

The Multidimensional Term Called Love!

How do we define love... To be frank,all of us wud have heard of love, even long before actually experiencing it.. the pain, the happiness, the grief it brings, the seeds of care it embeds.. thanks to our hindi films! A two yr old kid knows what it is! For a two year old kid, it cud just mean a guy and a gal happily dancing together in the rain! As we grow older we look at the passionate part of it.. And when we r mature enough, we tend to understand the complexities of this delicate relationship comprising of love, care, selfnessness and passion, which put together brings the totality of life, and adds more meaning to our existence. If u like good cinema, u know.. those art kinda movies that talk about human relationships..u get to understand the different dimensions that love can take.. I was watching a movie called raincoat yesterday.. starring Aish and Ajay Devgan.. Such a slow moving movie, that u will need a lot of patience to watch.. The concept is simple but then it strikes a cord somehere.. Its about two hopeless people, who have miserably failed in their lives, in different ways, their dreams shattered.. but still do not want the other person to know that he or she is unhappy and life has treated him or her badly... u lie, because u love.. Its like u already are in a very bad shape, with no hopes of improvement left, but u still want to do ur best to make the life of the other person better, when u realise that the other person was lying and is actually in deep shit.. The director terms this as love.. good, isnt it.. There is another movie in which a conventional, married woman with a small kid falls in love with a muslim photographer during the time of a war.. Its just circumstantial, cus of the kinda protection he offeres her selflessly.. Nothin more.. But that doesnt mean that she is gonna leave everything behind and go after him.. Here the gratitude towards a person blossoms into love..Love is gratitude.. So love doesnt have a definition.. it can mean a lie and it can even mean being thankful.. And finally its not the dimension of love that comes across our way that matters, it may not be packaged the way we want.. but then its just a feeling that leaves a mark in our hearts forever, irrespective of the dimension!
