I obtained a personal digital copy of 'ek anek' video when I first found a copy online. I watch it from time to time and continue to be amazed by how good it is.

The 'saregama...' vidoe goes something like this: There is a child playing with a baloon. The baloon bursts with a bang and the child starts crying. The camera moves to someone who witnesses the incident. He walks over to someone who was not at the scene and narrates the incident with embelishments (the soundtrack for the narration goes: "Saregamapa, pa-sare, da sa ri..."). He says that he witnessed a child walking with *two baloons* and how someone threw a stone at the baloon and how it burst and how the child cried and then the police arrived,... The second party now walks to a third party and narrates the story (again to notes of "saregamapa") adding more embellishments. In the end the story becomes how someone was shot and how sirens whistled and how several people were killed.

Of course, I don't remember more than the gist of the cartoon and am making my own embellishments in this narration. :-)
