WHAT IS THE SOUND OF INDIA? | Vir Das | The Field Dream | Episode 3

[@thevirdas]

I humbly ask that you share your India sound below here....and that you share this video!

[@TitoSumit]

the sound of farting shamelessly, sorry Vir couldn't help it 😂

[@kuriakose]

Cooker’s seeti

[@insiyaamet1778]

The sound of tailor's stitching machine

[@charushilaa5458]

the sound of ghunghroos while i perform kathak is the first thing that popped in my head

[@kuriakose]

Chaiwallah and Idli/dosawala in the train early morning.. you know what I mean

[@drazikenn]

I've already said it that I'm enjoying this more than some episodes of any Netflix series!

[@PankajKumar-ej5dt]

Then there's is some mental issue with you.

[@drazikenn]

@@PankajKumar-ej5dt oh ok. anyway did you have your dinner?

[@Choubeyji07]

Got goosebumps at the end man ❤ I'm from jharkhand and my sound of 🇮🇳 is the old sad songs playing in auto and local bus of kumar sanu 😄 whole bus vibing to jeeta tha jiske liye reminds me of home! 💕

[@shahzuhaibhussain6539]

Loud Speakers, ear bursting bass and these sad songs in public transports🤩 Some uncle shrieking on phone "Hello awaaz aa raha hai" Ek aisi ladki thi jise mai.... Love my country 😂 ❤

[@insiyaamet1778]

I already know this video is going to be amazing. I mean this series as a whole is everything. Idk vir how are you handling everything but i trust you n your team. I just hope your field dream comes true. I live in udaipur(raj.) But if this event happens i ll try my 200% to be there.🎉

[@kishanpandya5919]

JUSTTT GIVE HIM A STADIUM ALREADY!!!! 😩💓

[@MonkwithaLens]

Man, I am hooked to your work and this idea of a stadium show is just exhilarating. I am from Sikkim and the one sound that I'd like to share is the sound of a Buddhist prayer wherein you'd have a set of instruments playing. While this sound is so comforting when heard in a monastery in the morning, it feels like a nuisance when the same sound plays in at 4 in the morning when you are trying to get some sleep. The difference in how you feel about the same sound at different times is fascinating to me.

[@rajatnagi]

Vir, you are just creating something different here, I already feel so invested in this show even when it's not actually been written. Can't wait to see it. Power to you bro ❤❤

[@ananyasen2162]

I have checked every day (sometimes twice in fact) for the past 20 days to see if episode 4 was out. Vir I know you're on tour (and I came to watch too!!) but I need to know the next chapter in this story!

[@nageshpanchal7287]

I am personally inspired by your passion. We are running an NGO named Mera Gaon Meri Dunia. I left each and everything to start this NGO and left with 0 balance in my account. I really connect with the passion and your courage. I am not having money but love to support you with back-end work or anything i can support. Having experience of 08 years of running an org.

[@insiyaamet1778]

Vir.....i am already crying man. You have already started accomplishing to insert the thought the sound in our head. ❤(i just hope this idea doesnt get copied now)

[@sahhilkhan4716]

You don't really know what kind of love I feel for you man

[@avvinash49]

Exactly bro I don't know how but I do feel the same for him. He is such a charm...

[@shahzuhaibhussain6539]

"Tu hi jag data, vishw vidhata.. Tu hi to hai Radha ka Shyaaam.. Hey Raaam, Hey Ram" My sound of india 🇮🇳 is the sound played by my school bus driver every morning and that melodious voice of Late Jagjeet Singh ❤

[@dyurules]

My top 3 Indian sounds are: 1. Tum Dil ki dhadkan mein rehte hoo inside an auto 2. Tubewell water rushing in through the pipe thingy. Also submersible motor starting up 3. This one is like a pungent smell which I hate to like, sugarcane mills! Something you can relate with fully: Surjeet ma'am shouting in the English period "is this a fish market?" Best of luck man!

[@moviebhaiya8779]

I've never been this excited about someone elses dream 😂❤️

[@sahilgupta6804]

Vir mere bhai...Tere stadium show ka intezaar hai...

[@dhruvvora2458]

Hey Vir…, I am a student in Chicago, and this video made me live the feeling of home again, I’ve been really home sick lately and this video made me feel like I’m home again. Thank you so much for this, can’t wait for the show. Lovee you man❤️ you are an inspiration❤️

[@ashutoshpanwar]

Not only the SOUND tells you where you are but also especially in India it tells you what time of the day it is. Great concept, love the way you narrate it. All best for the project.

[@thrashthokchom6620]

if there is a sound of goosebumps that's what it is. THANK YOU for doing the show.

[@siddhanshuagarwal8257]

"Only a sound and a smell can take you home..."💓

[@SruthiSatya]

My sounds might connect to most.. the sound of a ceiling fan! Can't sleep without it even if there's AC running.. and the sound of Bajaj chetak. My dad rode it when he was alive and I could say he was gonna come home even before he took a turn to our street. The sound of a metal hand grinder when my grandma used to make breakfast/lunch/dinner. She used to smash garlic and ginger or pepper or whatever that needs to be smashed! I know I am gonna have tasty food when I hear that sound coz I know for sure that she's cooking. The best 3 sounds of my life 😊. Ok, now I am crying. Thanks a lot man!!

[@niki-eb9is]

My God, this man is something else. I literally have tears in my eyes listening to him describing the concept, describing INDIA in such a beautiful way❤❤❤❤❤❤❤SO SO SO MUCH LOVE VIR

[@sumanpaul6198]

This man is on a mission to remind everyone what India is all about. ❤

[@dearheart1492]

I love this idea. I totally get it. I'm American and travel to India a lot. The sounds are so distinct. As my partner over there says whenever I comment about the different and loud sounds coming over the phone "Welcome to India!"

[@Giveuspeace]

You left me crying. I have spent collectively 5 years in India 🇮🇳 I was mostly near the Bengal sea in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. I could tell the time of day by the sounds. The fishing boats coming back, the calls to prayer, the sound of women sweeping then splashing water, the sound of pressure cookers whistles and grinders as they prepare dosa and lunches. The cows starting to roam the streets, the crows and dogs barking at invaders like monkeys or a stranger in the lane. Then the temple drums with the milk man on the bike ringing his bell. Motorcycles leaving to take children to school or to go to work and rickshaws horns . The whirls birds song and of corse the sounds of A/C. Everyday brings unexpected sounds of weddings funerals or other functions not to neglect the hundreds of festivals. I love India 🇮🇳

[@vineetakunder8499]

Only a sound and smell can take you home...rightly said...the sizzling sound of my Mom's tadka in kitchen and the aroma of the garlic, curry leaves and hing...that is home😊

[@TakliBansuri]

the Delhi metro, it's different pitches and arrivals, when it opens its doors and heaves, breathing out people and AC air alike, and the little pings when it closes to move again. Every station sounds unique be it the abandoned power plants at indraprastha or an ever alive kashmiri gate. Among all these the one vishwavidyalaya where the sound of Rickshawallahs vying to take you to your destination remains my pick. It always takes me home to a sweet time.

[@waywardwanderer6502]

Am from kerala. Of Some sounds that are very close to me 1- the sound of my mom putting mustard and curry leaves in oil while preparing chutney for breakfast dosa, the whistle of the milk cooker. Takes me back a lot. The sound of morning school buses outside our houses taking kids from the lane. The sound of the horn of the fishsellers old cycle or scooter. The sound of a newspaper falling infront of our home. And many many more. And how can i forget the old malayalam songs of the greats like yesudas and ks chithra playing on the home stereo and the humming from different members of our home.

[@jobole]

I love how the humble tanpura plays in the bg when the whole concept is being laid out. Makes the whole dream more pious.

[@ariapalvarri9249]

Simply Brilliant and Extraordinary Sounds that will forever echo in our mind and heart...Vir Das thank you in advance

[@saishanagpaul1797]

This reminds me of Sound Trippin'. Sneha Khanwalkar traveled across India- recorded regional sounds and made some beautiful music.

[@darpanmajumdar6947]

Thank you for sharing.

[@devyanivadawale3357]

honestly, i had claimed my support from the beginning, but i was not very sure about what exactly the show could be to garner a response like this. now ive watched this episode and oh my god, there is nothing else it could be. holy shit, i have goosebumps. india /is/ a sound, and that sound /is/ home and there's nothing else a cricket stadium exemplifies more. this is all almost as if by design, oh my fucking god

[@SumantSalphale]

I had tears in my eyes. I am so fucking grateful that I get to live in the same time as you do Vir 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️let’s fucking make this happen….

[@roshanbisoi3584]

I'm so invested in this, now I've my task list ready for Vir's show.

[@vivekagrawal2154]

Those big ass truck horn sounds on highways... With the 2000s' Bollywood melody and the highest frequency that a human ear can hear.. that's an Indian sound.

[@neer11]

So beautiful. I still remember the sound of stadium when sachin made 200 in Gwalior. Interestingly enough visuals are fading.

[@HelloJackHey]

tears .. . goosebumps .. . waiting . ..

[@riyaaggarwal6532]

Fell in love with India again❤

[@jaikundaliya7078]

Every video of this series is sure to give u those goosebumps 😌❤

[@kaaditya1]

I think Indians who are currently outside India would like this more, It’s hard to be emotional about home when you are at home. It’s only when you are outside that you feel that sound

[@akashsharma6214]

Now this is a kind of sound that I would like to WATCH in a stadium. Eagerly waiting for the dates.

[@Oba936]

Indian poetry has the ability to grab you from halfway around the globe and push you nose first into that beautiful world of yours. I really hope everyone can see it for the love that it is. I wish you all the best in this wonderful adventure of yours to create this fantastic poetic journey through your part of the world.

[@shobhitverma8071]

GOOSEBUMPS... That auto/tempo sound around 12:30-1pm lying in my bed, i was at home! Yes the MSD worldcup winning shot is a bit hazy but "DHONI FINISHING OFF IN STYLE" Never goes away.

[@homosapien5476]

All the very best Vir. From Surat Gujarat. And my india sound would be jugaadi mindset that we apply everywhere

[@sidhantdas9789]

I know typing a comment is quite inconsequential and not even sure if it matters but from a person in Canada whose grown up in India with its unique essence I’m sooooooo soooooo excited to get tickets for this once in a lifetime history creating show ……

[@khizarbilal8388]

Friggin briliant concept Mr. Das.... not to take away from other very talented Indian comedians but only you Mr. Das can pull this off.

[@vaxni]

Wow many sounds gave me goosebumps already

[@powerofone9595]

One of the most important videos..and the feeling to this to happen..and the feeling of when it will happen and how will this show go...its amazing how u all making the videos..

[@maanavibedi18]

Your mind is beautiful. SO heartening as a fellow artist. You have my complete support. The sound of India...is the birds, the utensils banging next door, even the pressure cooker, the constant construction no matter where you are, the dogs, people screaming while on a call, and like you said the calls of bangaar wala....the rain for me is a soothing one and is the rustling of leaves at night...annoying honking is obvious in bombay but hey even split ACs have a humming loud compressor sound and it exists even today! (they say silent ACs, but they mean while youre inside the house!)

[@nimamistry91]

I'm an NRI but the sound (and smell) that takes me back to my grandfather's house in Gujarat is the crackle of burning wood which we used to heat water for bathing. Looking forward to seeing the show online some day 🙏🏾

[@shreeyaverma8826]

this man is a visionary and will go down in history as one of the greatest comedians India has ever had! Rooting for you Vir!

[@meghnabisht9499]

Damn!! This is too good. The concept..your thoughts...your words. Everything. Made me think of one such sound that I always remember is the sound of sugarcane juice machine bells. I don't know if you've experienced it. But there's always similar bells on that sugarcane juice wala machine street side stalls pe. No matter if I can see the stall or not ,but i can always remember that sound ❤

[@PrabhDeepMusic]

YESSSSSS! Inspired.

[@okokok-1]

The sound of India for me is the voices of the many sellers ,lattu (spinning top) sellers in the bogey of the train when the train stops at a station, I stopped travelling in trains at a young age so listening to any sounds of the train or station just gives me goosebumps and reminds me of India. I will irritate my sister to take me to this show when it happens because there is no way on earth im missing this, loved the thought and creativity behind the show

[@pravneetkaur2010]

For me the sound of india is constant commotion...There's always one sound or the other....And my most fav is the hearty laughter....People laugh their hearts out....And after a point we have laughed so much, that we lose our voice but we are still rolling and laughing

[@simranchawla9310]

I don't know why that AC compressor sound took me back to my own home, literally had tears, because it reminded me of every single member of my family.

[@anshumanpanda39]

You made me feel what I was intending to feel in a long long time. It helped me, helped me to begin coping up again, and I am writing this after revisiting this video after a week, you gave me a different perspective... I know you are humble who just wants to make a dream come true... And as someone who supports dreams be it childish or elon-muskish, I want to tell you and I want you to know... You are doing great. You might or might not be inspiration for millions, but remember this, you have inspired me to wake up and do chase my dreams. I'll reach out to you, five years down the line, again in this very comment section, provided the video is still available, and make sure to show you, *You have inspired me*.

[@sreerajkaranamkattil4930]

👏👏👏🙌❣ Sound of India .... Beautiful topic and it will be executed perfectly ... God bless u Sir

[@lubhanimishra5652]

The idea is amazing Vir! You already made me fly and made me cry! ❤🎉

[@akashkamal2815]

Vir das in wankhede is the best thing ever

[@m.krishna2297]

The most goofball and eccentric artist I have ever seen..You carved out your own niche in the Indian Standup comedy era... Eagerly waiting

[@goodvibeframes]

You truly have touched lives with your craft Vir. True to the name. Keep going and we will always keep looking up to you. Love you man.

[@insoserious]

When I went to India in 2006, it was to perform a children’s theatre show called Rainbow Fish. My team has spent 2004 and 2005 touring the show around parts of Europe, Asia, s well as performing it back in our home country of Singapore. Now, in Singapore, we have this bird that everyone has heard but very few ppl have actually seen. We hear it at 5.30 in the morning and when you hear it you just think “fukkkkkk it’s time to get up for work/school. Nooooooo….” But when you DON’T hear it, you miss it. All the time I was traveling for work, I didn’t hear it. But whenever in returned to Singapore and heard it’s unmistakable cries in the morning darkness, I knew I had come home. That bird is the koel. Or as we call it, the “uwu bird”. And the only other country I have traveled to where I could hear this bird, and feel like I was home…is India

[@insoserious]

(But also, the sound of India for me is the voice of Lata Mangeshkarji…. And every shopkeeper going “come in madam, this is your shop, we have more colours in backside”)

[@amitbahreja9642]

This thing is getting better and better, hope you get to do a show in Wankhede even though its tough to crack

[@jesslin2008]

The early morning sound of the broom sweeping the roads, the song that played at a temple nearby at 6 a.m. Also blowing air into a chulha using a pipe, the sound of powdering things in a big mortar.

[@SAGE1991]

you know when that guy said "there should be a musical performance to level up the audience but not that kind of a musician who takes away vir das's limelight"., and watching ending of this video about sounds or more indian sounds, My mind immediately thought of this musician named tushar lall. He has a band where there are all the indian instrumental musicians and fusing with all the cinematic sounds of violins, cellos etc. and all his songs (covers & originals) has very homely indian vibe with international touch. I mean I have seen people saying they got goosebumps listening to his arranged songs. I think you should definately check out his work if you want a musician about sound of india. I think he will be perfect.

[@yashghugare7680]

💯

[@aayushi3962]

I’m ready to be a part of this history that’s being made ✨

[@Kookka_]

Love you India. Love Vir and his dream🏟

[@rakshaarun9201]

I’m from Bangalore and my India sound is our house help clammering the gate to put the rangoli, washing vessels and talking loudly with my grandmother I know it’s 6 am in the morning, there’s constant honking and the sound of lorries pass through I’ll know it’s 4 am, I can go on! This is sooooo bang on vir!!! I had tears as I watched it, this has been my life, I’ve moved houses to do away with all these sounds, seeking peace and quiet, but no, not in this country man!!! Can’t sleep without a sound bothering you 😑

[@amitsingha3015]

Loved this episode....we are with you Vir..

[@parasshah195]

Love the dedication and work that y'all are putting into this!

[@rawasmemes2313]

What a mad Brainstroming... Its Lovely to follow the journey of a show writing... Lovely keep going..

[@radhikazanwar3031]

It is the sound of that continuous metro work in pune that makes us feel home

[@sreetamaghosh516]

Hi Vir 🙋! I'm from Kolkata, don't generally come out in the comment section, bt ur show moved me, so I'll give you an input, I don't know if it's the sound of home or my city but being an insomaniac, I've often heard the sound of azan around 4 a.m., it's like a very distant and faint hum, bt you can hear it still, I have often tried to strain my ear to hear it clearer 😅 bcoz it gave me such an otherworldly and ethereal feeling, it was both soothing and mysterious at the same time and reminded me of Coleridge's Kubla Khan 😌😊!

[@shadeen680]

Oh God Vir, I want you to do this.🎉

[@samatha6311]

Great idea, I remember the sound of mom waking up early and doing housework. I used to wake up daily listening to her work sounds.

[@gauravsahai3807]

I know that this might never happen, but if the show is around sounds and music, please consider Tushar Lall to be a part of your show. He's a musical genius and sincerely underrated. But I believe, he can tune into the frequency of the idea and produce magic.

[@shivamchopra4130]

I’m from Lucknow & we have parshad elections this week. It seems like there is a festival, as we hoards of people on bikes going through small lanes in our colony shouting slogans in unison, songs being played on old loud speakers….

[@aritraakhastagir4737]

All the best Vir!! You're about to create history here... looking forward to watching you perform ❤️

[@richardsforrest]

Brilliant idea! Really looking forward to the show.

[@dingtonia]

This THIS!!! You’re a genius.

[@Giveuspeace]

There's peace in the chaos. India's a rhythm to enjoy. Once you get in it it's hard to leave. Silence is a killer.

[@mansiagrawal2763]

Goosebumps. India Sound for me is, your parent's words when you pass 10th Standard!!!!!! When you get into IIT!

[@bhatakti_bindu]

my heart is thumping. WHat are you Vir what are you.

[@vennelaperumandla5587]

Hii vir.....Wherever i am if i ever close my eyes and hear a song(dont know exact lyircs but)from the ghmc truck which comes by our street early morning during 6.30 am to pickup garbage...that damn song ... that's an alarm to my ears every single morning... its my sound...and i feel i m home in my bed.. waking up..

[@Jaiknom]

Revealing your concept is like a trailer for a movie, and it makes you even more excited for tht movie, and you'll know how many people resonate with your concept, everyone will love it, do it!

[@siddhiaware]

Stilll waitinggggg.. Is it coming or not?

[@sakshibhatia3282]

omg. You are taking us back to us. The collective us. Vir, this is what we need. To be able to... Come together. Sounds awesome!

[@YuvrajSamal]

Two sounds that were constant every morning were early morning 7-8 clock sabjiwala and a presswala who used to live next to our house used to play Bhojpuri bhajans every morning loudly and by loudly i mean very loudly

[@sweetnsour824]

For me it was the "bhopu" of the rickshaw. The rickshawala would honk the horn when he came to pick us up for school. This was most alerting sound of my childhood which indicated to me "get set and go" type feeling. I must have been in like 1st grade or something.

[@sachinpadwal]

for me it's the sound of om. Usually when I m wake late at night at 2am, the temple beside my apartment has on its speaker in very low volume but you can hear it only when everything and everyone is asleep. That is peace for me. om chanting in the background at 2am also the dogs barking.

[@swathichaganty1997]

This was beautiful! I am bawling!

[@kala4823]

I'm so glad that I'm a part of it

[@ayushmaheshwari7723]

This has to happen! Genuinely!

[@rajatbakshi510]

The sound of indian railway, metro, the sound and smell of wheat flour chaki shop, the sound of cows wearing a bell when you pass by a dairy, the sound of a fan omg so many freakin sounds all around us which is so deep rooted in india.

[@dhaaranipushpam5461]

For me the sound of southern Tamil Nadu is the sound of the sea with a buzzing noise from the thermal station near by and the sound of the cars passing by fast in the bypass road.

[@kuriakose]

Super excited!

[@rheashah3181]

Such a beautiful and brilliant concept!! Can’t wait to see this show happen!!

[@khushali_8396]

A sound of that makes me feel at home whenever I visit Mumbai - "Pudhil station Bandra, next station Bandra, agla station Bandra."

[@atminsheth3653]

Every morning onn summer days , I will be sleeping on the terrace, the sound of birds chirpign and the morning shares of rikshas and bullet going around the streets to delever milk and other things will wake me. You connect right away vir thank you1!

[@27855269]

Literal GOOSEBUMPS!!!!😮
