What Yunus-bhai has shared with us in truly invaluable. It is indeed an extremely rare treasure, a great find.

Fans wait, perhaps camping overnight, just to get an autograph from their idol. And here we get to see the very song-books of Rafi-sahab, to view the very script of the words and lines he sang, to see what he saw and read as he rehearsed and sang.

I remember waiting to get an autograph from Chuni Goswami (star soccer player of Mohun Bagan and captain of the Indian team) --- he kept repeating "Deechhi, Deechhi" ("Giving, Giving" in Bengali), and kept walking upto a car, entered and drove away!

My daughter woke up at 2 AM, left home at 3 and drove to the station to take a train to New York, and lined up at 5 AM outside a book-store in New York, where President Clinton was scheduled to arrive for a book-signing of his autograph being released. She stood in line all morning, and it was only at about 2 PM that she finally got to enter the store for him to sign the book she'd bought. We even got to see her on TV, saw her waiting in line, when a news broadcast covered the book-signing.

And here we are gifted with a pics of Rafi-sahab's song-diary. Thanks, Yunus-bhai! A great discovery and a very, very special treat for all of us!!!!!
