Mowgli[The Jungle Book] used to be my favorite serial while growing up Those days we were pretty much at the mercy of Doordarshan. How we would wait for the day and time, prepare, finish up homework. Now, there is on demand tv, almost 24 x 7 sprout, pbs kids, cartoon channels. And if that doesn’t satisfy the apetite, there is always youtube.

My older daughter loves the title song, she got hooked on to it the first time she heard it. Though she does not seem to like the serial itself. She is kind of scared at the animals and characters. Plan to introduce this to her a little later, may be a year later.

Her favorite line is – phool khika hai phool khila hai. No clue why!
Enjoy!

Here is the lyrics…

Jungle Jungle baat chali hai, pata chala hai
Jungle Jungle baat chali hai, pata chala hai
Arre chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai phool khila hai
Arre chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai phool khila hai

Jungle Jungle pata chala hai
chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai
Jungle Jungle pata chala hai
chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai

Ek parinda hai sharminda tha woh nangaa,
ai isse to ande ke andar tha woh changa,
Soch raha hai bahar akhir kyon nikla hai
Arre chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai phool khila hai

Jungle Jungle pata chala hai
chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai

Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai Pataa Chala Hai
