Nigam rendered this (Al)katchy track

Mobile phones are ubiquitous now, but in the late 1990s (when yours truly was preparing to take the school-leaving exams), they had just been launched.

At that point, Sameer penned a track that could have become, to use the mobile phone-using generation’s lingo, a caller tune.

Half-a-dozen minutes and 10 seconds long, it was titled What Is Mobile Number?

It was the shorter of the two Son(u)gs rendered by Alka Yagnik and Mr Nigam*.

Anu Malik composed it.

(*Note: Yoon Hua was the longer of the two – it was seven minutes and 42 seconds long.)
