“Bathroom singing” is quite a popular hobby with many people. One reason for bathroom singing is that it is the only place where one could sing without being disturbed. Another esoteric reason is to tell people that you have occupied the bathroom. This is useful in case the door of the bathroom does not get locked ( especially useful for those staying in hostels).

I am sure no one recalls this 1978 movie called “Tumhaari Kasam”. In fact I do not think this movie was ever released in the parts of the country where I was growing up in 1970s. But I recall having heard this song and liking it.
