I am very fond of music, particularly old Hindi film song, classical music and ghazals. While a student in Allahabad University ( 1963-67 ) I attended Prayag Sangeet Samiti for about 3 years ( where I learnt classical Hindustani music ), and became a good singer. I still sing sometimes ( hear me singing ‘Yeh zindagi usi ki hai’ in this post ), though at 77 I am now not so good as before. I prefer old Hindi film songs to new ones.
Here is a list of my favourite songs:

( I sang a few lines of this song at a wedding last December. It is given below)
