It is a privilege for those who were associated with India’s first talkie ‘Alam Ara’ (1931). Whenever the definitive history of Indian film industry is discussed, the names of Ardeshir Irani, Master Vitthal, Zubeida, Prithviraj Kapoor, W M Khan would surely find place in it. However, there were some lesser known persons associated with the first talkie. Sarvottam Badami was one of the lesser known persons who was associated with the first talkie as assistant to Ardeshir Irani in sound recording. I found his filmy career interesting.

Even as we have been celebrating the journey of this blog over 3000 days, there has been another journey that has taken place recently.
Avinash Scrapwala, our Nagpur-based Atulite, happened to visit Bengaluru earlier this week for a short trip with his wife. If you’ve read the post , you will notice a mention of his boarding the train at Nagpur at 10:10 hrs and expecting to reach at 06:40 hrs the next morning.

Readers of this blog might now be familiar with a certain pattern of posts on this blog.
While there are posts which focus largely on the song, or the film, or even personal anecdotes, one common pattern is the celebration of anniversaries and milestones, in a post.
The anniversaries are our way of paying tribute to the artiste concerned. Whoever the artiste, whether a composer or lyricist or actor, whatever his level of fame in the industry, we try to remember and honour him on his birth or death anniversary.

I joined the Blog sometime in July 2011 and I have completed 5 years of my association with the Blog. How the wheel of time passes so quickly! Atul ji, the founder of this Blog, must have also felt the same when he realised that this Blog would be completing its 3000th day today (4th October 2016).
Congratulations to Atul ji and his bandwagon for reaching another milestone of running this Blog for 3000 days. I had said in my couple of earlier write-ups as well as in the comments section in the Blog that it is not an easy task to run a Blog with a commitment to discuss at least one song per day. It is most gratifying to note during my 5 years of association with the Blog that Atul ji has almost adhered to that commitment. If one goes by the daily average of the postings of the songs, the Blog has attained over 4 songs per day. This is a unique Blog in the sense that it has not remained ‘dormant’ even for a day!

A few days ago when it was Lata Mangeshkar’s birth anniversary on 28 september 2016, I posted a Lata writeup, where I mentioned that we have been discussing a Lata song almost on a daily basis right from the beginning of this blog 8 years ago. I knew that we had more than 3070 Lata songs in the blog. I became curious to find out the number of days for which this blog is active. At first I decided to do the calculation manually, but then decided that I should let technology do the hard work for me. So, after some trial and error, I got just the excel formula that I needed. It was then that I realised that the blog was 2994 days old at that time. I mentioned this fact in the blog. I also realised that we were very close to 3000 days mark. So I contacted a few regulars of the blog and requested them for their special writeups on the occasion.

Today (4 october 2016) is a SPECIAL DAY.
Our Blog completes 3000 days on Internet today. It surely is a matter of Pride. In this era of short lived pleasures and shorter lived Blogs, to remain not only active but also to become famous Internationally in 198 countries of the world ( as per WordPress report) , for such a long period is indeed highly creditable. 8 years and 80 days, and still growing by leaps and bounds !

As mentioned in a few of my earlier posts I have been visiting Khandwa regularly from August 2015 onwards. In the past when I was staying at Kota (Rajasthan) I would pass through this place while going to Purna and Akola Junction from Kota, but I never got a chance of staying there and feel the ‘town’.
