Mile Sur Mera Thumara…

Anybody who lived in the late 80’s and early 90’s in India could never have missed this song. One of my all time fauvorites, the lyrics are still etched in my mind even when i heard this song nearly after a decade. (although i don’t know the meaning!). In those days cable connections were rare and everyone was confined to the good old Doordarshan and this song would be played myriad times everyday. It beautifully portrayed National Integration. The song had totally around ten languages and had many of the leading personalities of that time from various fields .
Watch the original version of “Mile sur…” HERE
(The video quality is very bad…). If anybody finds do tell me where i can get hold of a good print of this video.
While i was searching for this song in Youtube, what i found was another version of “Mile sur…” and what a surprise !!! This was made by some damn cool Indian students at MIT. It beautifully reflects their nostalgia and passion for the country. All this have been shot in the MIT campus in Cambridge and some other scenic places in the US of A. The ending part wherein the robotic arm waves the Indian flag is really excellent.
There are also many other crappy versions where people have simply tried to imitate but this one really is the pick of the lot. Do check out some good chicks in the video!!!
