  5. Today i want to share a personal moment with all of u - especially old Hindi song lovers. & to my deterrents - No! It has nothing to do with CWs.

    When i was in my late teens, my friend's father decided to buy her a music system. I accompanied tjem to the shop. Those days such friendships existed.

    As we were looking at records - i kept glancing at Gaman. Uncle said - Beta lo na! That was enough for me to possess my first & lone record.

    As soon as we went back - i played Gaman first & Aaja Sanwariya filled tge whole house. What a magical moment! I looked up to c a smiling Uncle - completely in sync with our music & our world!

    Alas! Uncle left us soon - in an accident. Forget me - even his family had no chance of saying Good Bye!

    Gaman has remained my lone record. Never owing a record player - i oftten visited homes with players to listen to it.

    Today, Uncle has been gone for exactly 40 years. My friendship is still strong. So is the music & the special moment!

    Here is to all of u - who love Gaman & Aaja Sanwariya!
