Ah Ganesh, the unsung genius composer, creator of incredible melodies and rhythms that almost never got picturized on the so called grade A stars of his time. His songs, buzzing with hummable and memorable tunes, played themselves out in B and C grade cinema halls, in productions that were considered of the same categories. Some of his songs escaped this banishment to the C grade world, and found a place on the radio waves, and in the mind and memories of listeners. Some such songs have remained in the memories; but then there are many other remarkable creations from him that await re-discovery by aficionados.
