Mile sur mera tumhara - Two versions
The original one
And the new one from MIT folks
And here is the lyrics
Mile sur mera tumharaa,
Toooo sur bane hamaraa....
sur kee nadhiyaan har disha se behkee saagar mein mile.
Baadalon ka roop leiker bharse halke halke...
Mile sur mera tumharaa..
too... 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....
to 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..
Mile sur mera tumhara to....sur bane hamara...
Mile Sur mera tumharatho sur bane hamara tho sur bane hamaratho sur bane hamara
Will try and put full commentary of this song next time

Reactions on Tata Nano : Comments :"The world is jealous" !!
REACTIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD ON THE PEOPLE'S CAR
It Costs Just $2,500. It's Cute as a Bug. And It Could Mean Global Disaster. ........
The most hotly anticipated auto show of 2008 isn't the one set to begin in Detroit next week. It's the New Delhi Auto Expo, which opened in India three days ago and managed to beat Detroit to the punch by a week -- and $2,500.
That's the sticker price of the most eagerly awaited new car in decades: the Indian-made "people's car," dubbed the Nano. It's the brainchild of Ratan Tata, scion of the massive Indian conglomerate known as the Tata Group. He had long dreamed of giving middle-class Indian families a safer alternative to piling mom, dad and the kids onto the only motorized transportation they could afford: a motorcycle. True, the car doesn't meet U.S. safety standards. Still, by putting distribution in the hands of its dealers, taking advantage of cheap Indian labor and using lower-cost materials, Tata Motors has driven the price of a car down to levels never seen before.
This is good news for the millions of people in the developing world who never imagined that they could own their own car. But it's a problem for the rest of us.
It's a problem for Detroit, which is racing to enter India's booming small-car market but will now have to completely revolutionize its production and distribution to compete. It's a problem for America's beleaguered auto workers, who will become even more expendable as Detroit moves its manufacturing efforts to India and other Asian countries. And it's a potentially gigantic problem for the environment. India's urban roadways are already choked with traffic, and the air quality of its major cities is ghastly. If millions of Indians and Chinese get to have their own cars, the planet is doomed. Suddenly, the cute little Nano starts to look a lot less winning.

And this one comes from NewYorkTimes
.....
So while we admire Mr. Tata’s business and engineering acumen in creating the Nano, we ardently wish that he would focus his talents elsewhere: creating transportation that is both affordable and doesn’t emit ever more greenhouse gases. That would be something for the whole world to celebrate and buy.

The $2,500 Car: An Environmental Nightmare?
http://abcnews.go.com/Business/GadgetGuide/wireStory?id=4113059
And here ToI summarizes it all
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-2693551,prtpage-1.cms
Snippy sarcasm and grudging admiration greeted the Indian debut of the Tata Nano in the world's most mobile society, where there are nearly twice as many cars as families. It seemed that American reporters were present in droves at the event, judging by the coverage the buggy received here. It made news on almost every media outlet, including the evening network news watched by more than 30 million viewers, causing one wag to remark that the US was hit by the "El Nano" effect. "It can seat five people...if no one breathes," ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson said sardonically against the footage of the event. Time dubbed it an "upstart econobox." And Popular Mechanics headlined its story "Nano Is the $2500 Car That Might Change the World," before the reporter hits the brakes.
My comments : Let me research on it... Till then, Its cool, its compact, its dream come true, its affordable (well, wait till you get to hold the keys..),it is ENGINEERING, INDIAN ENGINEERING

Cricket Sledging
The best of sledges-Review-Sunday Specials-Opinion-The Times of India
A Graceful One
During a county game, the legendary W G Grace was clean bowled by a rookie. Grace was man enough to stand his ground. "They came to watch me bat, not you bowl," he said.
McGrath vs Sarwan
Sarwan and McGrath went eyeball to eyeball in Antigua in May 2003. Sarwan, on his way to a sublime second-innings century that eventually helped Windies chase a record 418, was taunted by McGrath, "So what does Brian Lara's arse taste like?" To this Sarwan said, "I don't know. Ask your wife." McGrath went mad with rage. "If you ever f*****g mention my wife again," he said, "I'll f*****g rip your f*****g throat out."
McGrath Vs Brandes
Long before that exchange, Zimbabwean pacer and chicken farmer Eddo Brandes was once unable to get his bat anywhere near McGrath's deliveries. Frustrated that Brandes was still at it, McGrath went up to him and said, "Why are you so fat?" Brandes replied, "Because every time I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit." That had even the Aussie slip cordon in splits.
Rod Marsh vs Botham
When Botham took guard during the memorable Ashes series in 1981 at Headingley, Aussie wicket-keeper Rodney Marsh welcomed with, "So how's your wife and my kids?" Botham replied, "Wife's fine, but your kids are retarded."
Ormond vs Waugh
During the '94 Ashes in Australia, England's James Ormond had just come out to bat. Mark Waugh, fielding at second slip, greeted him by saying, "Mate, what are you doing out here, there's no way you're good enough to play for England." Ormond, who was clued in to the debate in the Australian media over who was the better player between the twins Mark and Steve, replied, "Maybe not. But I'm still the best player in my family."
The Red Cherry
In the middle of a county match between Glamorgan and Somerset, Glamorgan pacer Greg Thomas beat Viv Richards and had the temerity to inform the legend, "It's red, round and weighs five ounces." The next ball was smashed out of the ground, into a river. Richards said, "Greg, you know what it looks like. Now go and find it."
Healy Vs Ranatunga
During the '95-'96 Australia-Sri Lanka series, Aussie wicket-keeper Ian Healy made a comment which was picked up by the host boadcaster Channel 9. It was a particularly hot night in Sydney and Arjuna Ranatunga called for a runner. Healy told him, "You don't get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat, ****."
Waugh Vs Parore
Mark Waugh was standing at second slip and Kiwi keeper Adam Parore, who was relatively new to international cricket (this was the '97-'98 series), came to the crease and played and missed the first ball. Mark Waugh said, "I remember you from a couple of years ago in Australia. You were shit then, you're f*****g useless now." Parore, who had all the personal details of Waugh, replied, "Yeah, that's me and when I was there you were going out with that old, ugly slut and now I hear you've married her."
Merv Hughes Vs Cronje
During the 1993-94 series between Australia and South Africa in South Africa, Australian pacer Merv Hughes was being carted all around the park in one of the tour games. Cronje hit a number of sixes off Hughes. After another one landed out of the ground, Hughes walked up to Cronje, stood still and let out a fart and said, "Try hitting that for a six." It was five minutes before Cronje and the Aussies could stop laughing.
Steve Waugh vs Parthiv Patel
Sydney, 2004. Steve Waugh's final test. Indians were pressing for victory. As Waugh fought a grim battle to stave off defeat, Patel couldn't stop saying, "Come on, just one more of the famous slog-sweeps before you finish." Waugh, who was visibly annoyed, said, "'Look, show a bit of respect. You were still in your nappies when I made my debut 18 years ago." Parthiv must have been delighted when Waugh perished to the slog-sweep, to be caught by Tendulkar at deep mid-wicket off Kumble.
