I receive hundreds of farmaishes for songs that are not yet posted in this blog. Many of these farmaishes are for songs that are well known and/or relatively easily avaiable. Sometimes though, there are farmaishes for songs that are very difficult to find. There are cases where the farmaish giver was desperately seeking the song for years and even decades without success. It is highly satisfying for me when sometimes I am actually able to locate these elusive songs after some nice detective work.

One of my major sources of discovering “new” songs is the farmaishes that I get from my readers. These farmaishes have enabled me to enrich my knowledge of old movie songs considerably and that has enabled me to share those gems with my readers.

I have posted as many as seven songs from “Kashmir Ki Kali” (1964) and one may be excused for assuming that there may not be any more songs left to be posted from this movie. But then one would underestimate the calibre of music directors of those era, if one made such an assumption.

I can watch songs of a movie any number of times. On the other hand, I find watching the same movie a waste of my time. Perhaps I have become “mature” with time. As a sign of this “maturity”,I would rather spend three hours trying to get the lyrics of a song right than watch the movie containing this song which may take less time.:D

O P Nayyar, who ruled the roost in Hindi movie music scene in 1950s and 1960s had lost much of his ground by the end of 1960s. But I find that the music that he created in his last few movies was perhaps as outstanding as any music that he created in his earlier more heralded music. It is another matter that the music of these movies were not lapped up as much as they should have been for various reasons.
