  1. I am privileged to find this notation of yours. Song is one of the greatest from Mannade with equally good lyrics. Regards. I am MLN Shenoy retired . Obliged, if you can tutor the song “ Tum Gagan ke Chandrama ho “ from film Sati Savitri. I searched notes for this song but no where I found. A great lyrical song my favourite one. Waiting. E mail.
