Mile Sur mera tumhara was re-launched today. The ragas of this song are ageless. As I was listening and feeling a deja vu, few interesting things happened. My two children 4 years and about 6 year old, very quietly sat down to listen to this, unprompted and listened to every moment of this. I was heartened to see, that some basics of ours have not changed.
But something did change. As the song kept going on (and it is a fairly long one), the channel running it had to take an advertisement break. A harsh reminder to the fact that we are now in 2010.
