Miley Sur Mera Tumhara..

To the NRI, life now usually has a plethora of memories associated with their lives in India, oftentimes with a sense of deja-vu, and quite a few times, tinged with the sense of patriotism that, dormant when they were in the country, has bubbled up to the surface in all its unhindered fountain-like glory.

So it is, that today I felt the need to look up on that old classic filler song video, Miley Sur Mera Tumhara. You know, the one where various people would sing in their native tongues, but the words effectively meant - You and I, when united, become One.

Googling for that classic video actually yielded quite a surprise...enterprising MIT desis coining their own version of the vid, MIT ishtyle...
With kudos to their enthusiasm (after all, it is a rather elaborate recreation of the video) and preferring to ignore the "Americanization" of the video with shots of the Boston area, I do have to say it made for some rather really interesting viewing.

See for yourself. (Warning! The videos are atleast 10 meg in size...)
