Log book
There are some random informations about this blog that I will post here. One such information would be to inform my readers in advance in case I am not available for a few days.
So here goes:
18 august 2010: I will not be available to post new songs tomorrow i.e. 19 aug 2010. On 20 aug 2010, I will post less number of songs than my usual 6-7 songs. From 21 aug 2010, I hope to be able to resume my usual rate of posting. In brief, I will be busy for the next two days.
23 sep 2010: I may not be able to post on this day, though I will try to post at least a token one or two songs.
26 oct 2010: I will be unable to post any songs today. I will be back on action from the next day.
22 Nov 2010: I will be unable to come anwhere near internet on this day. I will be back from the next day onwards.
27 Nov to 29 Nov 2010 Though I am within striking range of internet, but I will not be able to post songs during these days. I will be back with a vengeance on 30 November.
Dec 1,2010I will not be able to post on dec 1, 2010. From dec 2 onwards, I will be back to my usual routine.
Jan 15,2011 I have not been able to post songs at my desired rate for the last few weeks, but be rest assured that I will be back with a vengeance, perhaps in a couple of days time.
March 12,2011I may not be able to find time to post songs today.Reason- there is a cricket world cup match involving India today in my town as all cricket lovers are aware. 🙂
Nov 1, 2011I have been out of action for a couple of days. I hope to be back in action, starting from 3rd of november.
Feb 12,2011I will be travelling by train for much of the day, so my postings will be subject to availability of internet connectivity. But seeing that I will be travelling to the western parts of the country, I hope to get good internet connectivity duing my journey and also at the destination, where I will spend the next one week.

My difficulties for this website probably stem from my inexperience with this site but none of the songs I search gave results. The songs are the usual popular ones, so I cannot imagine that they are not featured here. Unfortunately, I do not know the name of the film and ditto with music director.
The songs are:
Diwana Mastana hua dil (sung by Asha and Rafi)
Sawan aaye ya na aaye (ditto)

Welcome to the blog. The rules and regulations are all unwritten and informal but the contributors, being regulars, know them. We are all likeminded music lovers. I have lots of unused lyrics contributed by contributors still lying with me. So being patient and understanding while I try to cope up with the backlog is a required quality to have for my contributors. Moreover, in case I have received the same lyrics from more than one conributor, then the contributor whose name goes un mentioned should not take it to his/her heart and should not suspect any unterior motive on my part. I respect and value all my contributors. We all contribute for the cause of music voluntarily and not because we expect anything in return.
