% Note: I think this a bit mature song, in the sense that to *really*
% appreciate it, and specially for us men (:-) ), it does take time
% to realize the depth of emotions, simple straightforward
% emotions, no mincing the words. Please. no flames on this, there
% sure are sensitive men around, but life does bring turns in our
% life, that make us look at old artifacts in our treasure-trunk
% and look at it with a new adoring, love and amazement, a new
% sentiment grows. Here is the song, of the same class as "meree 
% saaNsoN ko jo mahakaa rahee hai" (minus Mahendra Kapoor :-)) )
