In this blog I have posted songs that fall into various categories. These days I am finding that there are some songs of a certain (artificial) category namely “songs that I thought were already posted but I was wrong”.

I like to listen to old songs as is obvious from the songs posted here. But what about the present generation ? They obviously listen to the contemporary music. But it is for people like us to make them aware of the musical treasures of the old movies.
