As a kid I also used to listen to this program. I don't remember how i came to know about it but i used to religiously hear it every week at around 830 or 9 PM

May his soul RIP

Never got to like his way of announcing (as if talking to a child) in the program. But admired his long term commitment to the countdown program and role in making film music popular with the listeners. The world of films is so fascinating - it spawns so many diverse and niche careers.

RIP Ameen ji.
