Hats off to Matt !

Did you get that forwarded video long time back , with a guy offering 'free hugs'?
If you did and if you liked it , then you will defintely like Matt Harding's "Dancing" video .

The first thing about the video that captivated me was the carefree way with which Matt dances with various famous places all over the world in his background and the people around him who dance along with him in a funny childish way. Tthe idea of making such a video is simple so creative. The background music (I saw the 2008 version) of the video was mesmerizing and guess what, the lyrics were taken nowhere but from a poem "Stream of Life" by
our own Shri Rabindranath Tagore!!!

For some reason this video gave me goosebumps! Watch it to feel it for yourself - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY

P.S.Thanks to Kee for introducing me to this...Saw this one on her videos on orkut.
BTW Matt is no great media person or art directr or something. He was just another computer game creator of a geek who happened to realise better ways of living ! Love his attitude !
