5. A Song For Everyone Who Used The Sector-62 Metro Lift
Its June 2026, its time leave this rented house and move to own house. So packing up things and digging up things from the past. Here is my cassette collection. Like most countries India stopped producing cassettes around year 2007. And rethinking how a tiny collection got so big, I remembered a song which i am playing for every person who visited sector 62 metro lift at least once or more (second last video on this page).
Pirated cassettes - they were everywhere at that time. They were poor in quality, some ttmes contain 1 less song or 1 more song depended upon the reel left by pirate company. They cost Rs 20 to 40. Original cassettes - they were not cheap at that time and cost around 100 rs and more if company used imported reel from japan generally Rs 150.
My brother and I are still one of the greatest fan of (Sir) Rod Stewart from india and this collection proves it. Check that simplest way to find if a cassette is pirated or not - there will be no album name on cassette if cassette is pirated.
Ye song meri generation per to bilkul fit hai per baad mein sab kuch internet per as gaya. Logo ko kisi ek song ke liye radio ny kholna padta ya wait karni padti. Streaming sites per bohat kuch hai. Ye song mere khandaan mein mujh per aur thoda bohat mummy per fit hai, aur koi itna serious ny hai music kolekar. Mera bhai aksar 150 rs ki naye naye artist ki cassette lata tha us time jo aksar barbaad hi jaate the. Hamara bohat budget ny hota tha aur mahine mein ek do cassette hi kharid pate the hum dono bhai.
I related this song to sec 62 metro lift because everytime i went thete, i have heard only one music in lift and it is the instrumental of this song. May be lift compny got license for this song only. Everytime i hear this song or instrumental, old memories refresh. Again song is called Yesterday Once More.
Another beautiful song from same album. It is an instrumental called Heather. Then Close To You and Sing A Song. Sadly, their carrier ended soon due to sister's poor health.
