MTV, an indian boy with tray
hey guys!

:)

I would like to found out if somebody remember this spot kind of short video they used to play at mtv. It was a movie with a little boy walking trouhg the streets, carrying a tray and saying something like "my name is...". Does anybody remember this? can you get me some link to this? THNXXXXXXXX's

vote QUIMBY!
         
wow, if you're talkin' about what I think you're talkin' about, you have a good memory. They played that just as MTV2 was taking off..
         
Not sure if this what you mean :

dr: siraj Jhaveri - mtv "chai boy"

He's worked with Radical Media and Shelter Films in the past. Siraj came out of the MTV promo dept.
         
Sweet! That's the one I was talking about, at least, though wasn't it longer? That really is a classic, though not as widely seen as their 80's promos.
         
thnx~ geniuos! thnx again
         
anyone know the song that's playing in the background? I want to play it at my wedding.
         
Siraj Jhaveri's website says this was made in '97 (check), and is :45 seconds long - so this is the correct length. I love the Internet, and this promo, really. It's been keeping me entertained for a couple days.. (Someday I'd love to get in the head of Abby Terkuhle, who supervised excellent MTV work in the 90's..)
         
finalstarman: e-mailed Siraj, he told me it's "Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani" - a Bollywood tune from the 70s. Apparently it's from Jawani Diwani, and was written by R.D. Burman.
         
The mp3 is available here".

The rest of the songs in streaming audio is available here.
         
thanks for finding that out! I've listened to it all day. that energy is something lacking in most western music.
