Sargam notations for the song Jaane Kya Baat Hai

Singer : Lata Mangeshkar
Lyricist : Anand Bakshi
Music : Rahul Dev Burman
Movie : Sunny (1984)

This is another masterpiece by RD.  Producing notes for this song was not easy as the song includes lots of murkis.  I have tried my best to write notes as close to the original song as possible, taking first note as “Sa” on my F# flute.
