There are many reasons why I love the internet, and the following story is simply one of those reasons!
It all started out this morning when I saw the new Airtel 3G Voice Calling advertisement for the first time, and instantly fell in love with it. And being the twitter addict that I am, the first thing I did was tweet it!

Here is the advert:
Over the next 20 minutes or so, I watched the advert on loop, and besides the awesome concept and brilliant execution, what really touched me was the background music. I messaged a few symphony addicted friends of mine, asking if they recognized the music, but each person gave me the same reply-
NO! A small ray of hope came from my mom who said she remembered hearing this track somewhere, but couldn't remember exactly where.

Baah! I had to find out more about this song, by hook or by crook. The first thing I did was use to brilliant service
Youtube2MP3 to get the track from the advert. Next up, I googled around a little and found
this post that linked to a wide range of music recognition sites. I instantly started trying them out... but alas:

A check back on twitter revealed that people were suggesting methods to find the song. The most interesting tweet was by
@dpreacher (
Diabolic Preacher \m/).

Now I was totally stuck, with no leads on the song at all... and desperately hoping that one of my leads (
including a post at WatZatSong ) would provide a lead. About 15 minutes later, I had a new reply on twitter :

Boo Yeah! There it was.... the exact same song used in the advert. Incase you are wondering,
Ludovico Einaudi is a bigshot Italian composer/pianist and
I Giorni (
translation: The Days) is a track from his 2001 album of the same name. From then on, all I had to do was find a download for the song and download it (
I almost never buy music online... sue me!:| )
Here is the song:
A comment seen on Youtube is very apt for this song:"
I'm sure this song is in god's playlist."
Thanks to the internet, a few really helpful tools, and some awesome people (
ofcourse, special mention of @dpreacher), I found the brilliant song that I may never have found otherwise!

Thanks to everyone involved in the process, from friends to fellow tweeps, to the amazing guys over at
Shazam, besides the other tools which (
didn't work for me but) seem awesome, and ofcourse the ever so powerful
Google for strengthening my faith in the Internet as a community! :)
