If anything I find a better connection between the airtel jingle and Sergei Prokofiev's 2nd movement in Lieutenant Kijé suite (called 'Romance'). This was incidentally, also noted by someone in a NDTV message board where they had opened a topic on India's best composer. The source was however mentioned as Sting's 'Russians', which uses Prokofiev's piece with complete credits :-)
