A wonderful, but scarcely heard melody this one. As I am scouting for more songs composed by Usha Khanna, I came across this gem of a song from the film Flat No. 9, in my collection. As I heard it again, after a long time, I simply had to send it in for posting right away. We have already discussed three songs of this film, and each one is turning out to be a melody that should have commanded more popularity and listening time on the radio waves. Alas, there are obscure films and unheard songs that are almost lost. But play them, and the music lover’s heart will fill with appreciation, and also wonder, ‘where was this song so far’.
