Voice of a nation...
'Mile Sur Mera Tumhara'
Time was when
Doordarshan
was the only channel available
on television sets in India.
Time was when nobody complained of
"nothing interesting to watch"
even as they were served the staple
news bulletins, serials and cultural programmes.
Time was when
one song
comprising all the regional languages
of the country was hummed and strummed
in every nook and cranny.
Time was when
'Mile Sur Mera Tumhara'
with a bandwagon of super stars
from tinselville,
arts and sports from every state in India,
walked straight into the hearts of millions.
The song created by the
Lok Seva Sanchar Parishad in 1988
written by Piyush Pandey
and composed by Louis Banks
and
P Vaidyanathan
kindled patriotism in hearts young and old.
It was six minutes of bliss
that spread the message of unity
in diversity through faces known and unknown.
An eye opener to the cultural background
of the states of India,
the song comes back in
a new avatar as
'Phir Mile Sur' 22 years later starring
the popular faces of the day.
But
many wonder
if it will recreate the charm
of the original song.
"Can anyone from our generation
forget the song easily ? "
"The more I heard it,
the more I fell in love with it.
Listening to the song now is a
walk back in time to the good old days of the past,"
Patriotic songs
that grew as popular in that time were few.
The song arrived at the right time
and instilled patriotism in a whole generation
with a horde of stars.
"It's been long since
I watched the video of the song
but
how well I remember a young Kamal Hassan
walking by the seashore!"
"Not to forget the divine voice
of Balamurali Krishna.
It was a one of a kind song.
I am not sure if the second part
will be as delightful
because
'Mile Sur...'
brings with it a treasure trove
of memories of the bygone era
which the new one might not give us."
There's only one person
from the 1988 song
who'll feature in the 2010 version of it
- Amitabh Bachchan.
This time,
it's a family affair for him
with son Abhishek and daughter-in-law
Aishwarya too rubbing shoulders
with a host of new age stars from different walks of life.
"A song like this is the need of
the hour when the values of patriotism,
harmony and national integration need
to be reinstilled in young Indians.
It'll be great if television channels
besides Doordarshan and FM radios
start telecasting the song at a crucial juncture
like this when the threat of terrorism
is looming large over the nation.
It'll also go a long way in instilling communal harmony,"
'Phir Mile Sur'
can match the charm
of these lines of the mahout
in the 80s song.

Mile sur mera tumharaa,Let's wait and watch if
Thoo sur bane hamaraa....
sur kee nadhiyaan
har disha se behkee saagar mein milee.
Baadalon ka roop leiker
bharse halke halke...
Mile sur mera tumharaa.. thoo... sur bane
hamaara..
Mile sur mera tumhara...
Chaain taraj tahin nyay taraj
ek but baniye saayen taraj
Tera sur mile mere sur de naal
milke bane ek nava surtaal
Mile sur mera tumharaa....
tho sur bane hamaara..
Mohnja sur tohi desa pyara
mile jadein geet ashaanjo madhur tarano
bane tadein
Sur ka dariya bahte saagar
me mile badlaan da roop leike barasan
holle haule
Isaindhal namm iruvarin suramum namadhakum..
Dhisai veru aanalum
aazi ser aarugal Mugilai mazaiyai pozivadu pol isai ...
Namm isssaiiii....
Thik thakida thathikakidA...
.thaka thimi thaka junu
Nanna dhwanige ninna dhwani-ya,
seridante namma dhwaniya..
Naa swaramu nee swaramu sangammamai,
mana swaram ga avatarinchey
Ninde swaramum ningalude swaramum
otthucheiyum Namudeya swaramai....
Tomaar shoor moder shoor srishti koroor koi ekshoor[2]...
Sriishti karoon woi katha
Toma mora swarer milan srishti kare chalbochatano
male sur jo taro maro, bane aapno sur niralo
majhya tumchya julta tara
madhur suranchya barasti dhara
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
tho sur bane hamara tho
sur bane hamara
tho sur bane hamara
'Phir Mile Sur'
can match the charm
of these lines of the mahout
