Things do not get any more rare than this.  Plus celebrations like today’s, also do not get any more better and rare.

Milestones is a habit now long forgotten on this blog. No, I do not mean to say we do not celebrate. But it has now become a matter of routine. However, a milestone such as today, came to fore after a journey of more than 17 years. And that too – we can just bask in this glory for a few hours more. Night will fall, the sun will rise, and this milestone will be left behind – forever.

In five decades of recorded data (1931-80), there is an estimated approximation – about 45 thousand songs, give or take. Beyond that, another 45 years of an industry that I and more in my category have not tracked sincerely. But taking just a crude estimate, let us say, another 40 thousand songs. We are talking of a huge repository that is about 85 thousand songs. I am sure, it is a number that cannot be matched by any other segment of the industry world wide. And if I take a look at the counter on the top of this article, a whopping 20+ percent of that repository is already showcased on Atul-Song-a-Day.

A moment it takes to absorb this. Time to ruminate, to contemplate and to let this number sink in inside.
