One of the under-rated fallouts of moving is that you unearth things long since given up as lost or stolen. This tape turned up in a discarded Amazon.com box - a weather-worn TDK D90 with the soundtracks of SDB's Angaarey and CR's Raj Tilak, both recorded off the respective videos, back in 1999.

I remember posting this song on ATMJH sometime in the same era... a triumphant redemption for an otherwise pedestrian soundtrack. I won't write much about it here (having waxed about it in the aforementioned ATMJH article, to be found at
https://members.tripod.com/~ATMJH/461.html). Suffice to say it is one of
CR's signature-driven best.

(not sure about a word in the firsy antaraa... sages and savants, please correct).

zi.ndagii kii naav chalii jaaye haule haule re
dil ye meraa Dole

aaj na jaane \-2

pa.nchii do deso.n ke bhuule anjaane, bhuule anjaane
abhii mile abhii uDe kaun des na jaane, des na jaane
ek to puuchhe
ek to puuchhe, kaun ho sa.nge(?), ek na mose bole

dil ye meraa Dole
zi.ndagii kii naav chalii jaaye haule haule re
