60 years of Indian Independance.

India turned 60 today. And while there is lot to be achieved and there is a lot more to be done too. But nevertheless, one cant help feel jingoistic right now. And whenever I get into this mood, the one song that never fails to get me goosebumps is Mile Sur mera tumhaara... So sharing the lyrics with all of you in the hope that the years bygone and the patriotism never dies... Amen!

(Hindi)

Mile sur mera tumharaa,
To sur bane hamaraa....
Sur kee nadhiyaan har disha se behke saagar mein milee...
Baadalon ka roop lekar barsen halke halke...
Mile sur mera tumharaa...
Toh... sur bane hamaara...
Mile sur mera tumhara...

Kashmiri

Chaain taraj tahin nyay taraj
Ek but baniye saayen taraj

Milke bane ek nava surtaal

Mile sur mera tumharaa...
To sur bane hamaara..

Sindhi

Punjabi

Badlaan da roop leike barasan hole hole

Tamil

Isaindhal namm iruvarin suramum namadhakum...

Dhisai veru aanalum aariser aarugal

Mugilai mazaiyai pozivadu pol isai...
Namm isssaiiii....
Thik thakida thathikakidA.....
Thaka thimi thaka junu

Kannada

Nanna danige ninna daniyu,
Seridante namma daniyu..

Telugu

Naa swaramu nee swaramu sangammamai,
Mana swaram ga avatarinchey

Malayalam

Ente swaravum ningalude swaravum
Otthu chernnu nammude swaramai....

Bengali

Tomaar shoor moder shoor srishti korook oikyashoor...
Tomaar shoor moder shoor srishti korook oikyashoor...

Assamese

Srishti hok oikyatan

Oriya

Gujarathi

Male sur jo taro maro, bane aapno sur niralo

Marathi

Majhya tumchya julta tara madhur suranchya barasti dhara

Hindi

Sur ki nadiya har disha se behke saagar mein mile...
Baadlo ka roop leke barse halke halke...
Oh...Mile sur mera tumhara tho....sur bane hamara...
Mile Sur mera tumhara
To sur bane hamara tho sur bane hamara
To sur bane hamara.......

slowly merges into the tune of Jana Gana Mana, the Indian National Anthem
....jaya he jaya hejaya jaya jaya he

Yes $wraj, advent of the cable television may have made a lot of choices available to the viewer but give me a DD with "Mile sur mera tumhara", "Baje Sargam","Ek titilei", "Chitrahaar", "Nukkad", "Buniyaad", "Ramayan" etc and I will still end up being hooked to it... Good old days those were.
