Why did this make me cry??? (nice happy video)
 

We were goofing around the office today ordering pizza and somewhat sent this link. It made me cry... (it is not sad...):o

That was beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes as well; but in a good way.

Wow... wouldn't it be WONDERFUL to travel around and share smiles and laughter through dance??!!??!!

:):)

It is very sad -- mostly the music -- and it was weird to see Mumbai in one of the early shots.

I stopped watching 20 seconds into it.

Mari, if you feel better and can get past the frames from Mumbai, it is really very beautiful. He is joined in his happy dance by groups of strangers in 42 different countries. I don't start choking up until he's dancing with the kids in Rwanda and the people in Ireland...

I visited Mumbai (Bombay) in 1996 for a few days, and so seeing that in the beginning gave me a bit of a jolt too... but the video is really much more than that...

Words to the Song in the Youtube clip
 

Hi,
OK, I tried again and got to the 2 minute mark this time.

Translated into English, it is not a sad song.
I'm curious why it sounds sad to me.



The song was written by a poet from Bengal -- Rabindranath Tagore -- won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature.

The music: Garry Schyman
The voice: Palbasha Siddique -- a teenager in Minnesota

Apologies.
I'm sitting here on the computer goofing around even though I have been sleep deprived for the past week or three.
