Sureshji passed away a year ago. Not a day goes by when I do not remember him.

A few yeas ago I remember him telling me that he is going to put all his collection on the Internet Archive. It turns out that he did. For three years he worked tirelessly to upload it all. Here is the link

Sureshji's collection on the Internet Archive

He has uploaded 633 GB of data, 2,187 images, 1,693 audio files, 434 texts and 379 videos.

The black and white photo magazines you have been enjoying came from his collection.

Here is another one.

NOTE: I have downloaded the whole collection and made two backup copies.

The USENET group RMIM connected Hindi music lovers from all over the world in the early internet days.

We also had meetings where people exchanged stories, viewpoints and had quizzes. We also sang songs.

Here is an example from 2017.
