Talking to Roshan some weeks back got us started talking about DD programs and then about some of those national intergrity songs/promos that they often played on television. Most people around my age who grew up in India will be able to relate to this. Since we couldn't switch channels then, there is no way you could watch TV and not see these. Starting from the vande mataram song in the morning to the weekly chitrahaars and 9.00 o' clock serials.

I felt very good discovering & watching mile sur mera tumhara and ek chidiya. I also stumbled upon an MIT version of mile sur mera tumhara. My favorite bit is the firang on the bike singing the part that a keralite sings on an elephant in the original song. I cannot find a video of "sun sun sun mere munne sun.." on the internet but do recall chiranjeevi, mammooty, and some bollywood folk singing supposedly to kids.
