Mukesh and his NFS – 15
At the outset, as I post the last of the 4 available private songs (out of 6) which Mukesh sang in Delhi in 1939-40, I take this opportunity to once again profusely thank Shri Pawan Tanay ji for uploading these priceless gems on his youtube channel.
Had it not been for his generous gesture, these 4 private songs would have also remained only in print with no access to sound bites of a 16-year-old who would soon turn into a legend.

Mukesh and his NFS – 14
We come back to arguably the most nostalgic songs that Mukesh sang in his life. I say life and not singing career because he recorded these half a dozen songs before he set foot in Bombay in 1940-41.
A young boy, 17 years of age managed to record 6 songs in Delhi and have them released on discs. How he pulled this great feat is not documented.
