This song is a very popular song from my childhood. As happened with me most of the time, I would have no clue about such songs except the name of the singer. And with time I would forget all about such songs as they went out of circulation.

Here is yet another song from 1970s which I liked a lot those days, without having much details about it, except that it was sung by Kishore Kumar. It went “koyi maane ya na maane jo kal tak the anjaane, wo aaj hamen jan se bhi pyaare ho gaye”.
