I have been blogging about Bollywood songs for some 22 months now. All these days, I have been given farmaishes to post certain songs. Then on some occasions, I have been sent clips of songs to identify. And luckily I was able to identify those songs with their movies, singers etc.

In the past, I had posted a song from a little known movie called “Nayaa Ghar” (1953). At that time I was given farmaish for two more songs of this movie. But those songs were as elusive as the movie was obscure.

In this blog, I post songs that I categorise into different categories. Among them, there is one artificial category of songs (not yet formalised). These are songs that were very popular in its days during my formative years. I enjoyed these songs a lot without having any clues about their details. After that these songs would be forgotten with time. After a passage of three decades or more, I would stumble upon them one again. And this time, I would get to know these songs better. As far as I and several followers of this blog in my age group are concerned, these songs were immortal songs. As least they will remain so in our psyche.

Bollywood movies of the past may have been differentiated on the basis of their budget into A grade, B grade, C grade etc, but there was no such differentiation in the quality of music in all these movies. Even C grade movies used to have outstanding music. But the music of C grade movies suffered mostly because of lack of exposure since records of these songs were hardly made. And record players were in any case unaffordable for most music lovers.
