In olden days, if you heard a song and liked it, then the only way you came to know about the details of that song was if that song became popular. In case one heard a song that failed to take off in the popularity stakes, then there was no way to find out the details of that song. And the feeling of desperation to find out the details of that song is something that many of us have experienced.

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’.
