Today morning ....
Jayesh brushed memories when he played "Ek chidia... anek chidia...", "Mogli song" and later the big one "Mile Sur Mera Tumhara". I was under blanket listening to first two. When the third one started... I being out of Maharashtra and at Bangalore where you can find people from all over India speaking different languages...felt like watching the video. Came out of bed and started watching the different people singing "Mile Sur Mera Tumhara". These songs were the first one's we have seen on DoorDarshan. They did fantastic job of bringing the differences together and giving us the sense of togetherness in diversity. Years after that today I watched the same video and couldn't control myself. Suddenly after few minutes I went into blanket again with tears in eyes. Am I watching the same India. What we did in all these year to strengthen India. Is our condition much better or worse. I am not the one to answer these question nor does my conscience. But I cry only when I feel helpless and hopeless. I am still wondering what we have gained or lost. But one thing is for sure the India is not the same.
