good morning..

After the usual morning chores I switched on the laptop at around 9. Opened few news sites, the updated blogs and my mailbox but before starting to read anything, i felt like listening to a morning song.. I typed vande mataram in 'you tube' and played the first link that popped up.

It was so soothing.. While listening to it, I carried on with my reading, replying, chatting, commenting etc.. I shared the video link with a few friends online as well coz I wanted them to hear it too..just like that... :) I am sure everyone has heard it before and liked it too. When I was a kid, this song used to be played every morning as the first thing when the transmission started on the Indian TV... ah! those days.

Back to today. After almost 2 hours I finally saw the picturization in this video.. it was playing in loops till then as I was busy reading other stuff... Its shot in mumbai.. of things that happen before the sun is up.. at local train stations and bus stops, of boiling tea & breakfast stalls, kids selling bunches of jasmine, the petrol pump, vegetables being stocked for the day's sale etc... and of the banner saying "mera bharat mahan" ... Its obvious that I liked the video as much as the song.

Let me just put it up here incase you want to listen to it and watch it too :)

A song, which deserved to be national Anthem!
but original one in Bengali is also equally good.
