- Quick...Now say this with all the style and attitude you got!
"Hello India.....Do you like Akon?
The crowd: yeah (loud)
Do you like the Black Eyed Peas?
Crowd: Yeah (again)
Do you know who's the Goadfather of them all?
Crowd: (muffled sounds)
Here comes WYCLEF JEAN!
Crowd: (loud cheering)"
Was at the Hard Rock cafe a couple of Weekends ago (didn't even know that one existed in Pune until then) for the VH1 initiative performance by Wyclef Jean. Had a great time. Although it was a very short performance, it packed a punch. Thoroughly entertainng. Started with his "Sweetest girl" track from the Latest album Carnival II - Memoirs of an immigrant. It was a treat for the crowd to go along with the chorus shouting "dollar dollar bill y'all....dollar dollar bill y'all". The girls got a piece of Wyclef when they joined him during his rendition of "hips don't lie". And of course there was also "gone till November" and a surprise jig with Aadesh Srivastava (Bollywod...huh?). Although it was a bit dissapointing that "maria Maria" wasn't on the charts that evening.
- Global recession, rising inflation, rising oil prices, the impending food grain shortage are all over the place nowadays. But this piece of news beats everything else hands down. Don't really know what to make out of it.
- Mumbai is cooler than most other place in Maharashtra currently. The rest of the state has been reeling under a heatwave. Pune was sizzling hot last week at a shade above 40.
