This is my 1900th post on this Blog. This is the second fastest century. For the 16th century, it took me only 119 days, whereas today’s century took 127 days. For me, it is like a dream. I still can not believe that I wrote 1900 articles on this Blog alone. Add to it another 100+ articles on other blogs and sites. Add to it my 13 books published. Add to it scores of books mentioning me and referring to my writings. Add to it countless friends I have gained in the last 14 odd years. Add to it…..
The list would be too long. When I look back, I wonder how all this happened. After retirement, generally people find it difficult to spend time. Here I was, sometimes I had to strive hard to manage time to cope up with my work. At the age of 86 years, I could do all the above, in addition to my work as an Independent Director on the Board of Directors of two major Pharma companies. For this I thank The Almighty and pray that He continues to provide the required energy to me to go on further, till I am destined to be here.

This article is the 20400th song post in the blog.

Previous blog century (20300th song post) appeared on 30 May 2026. 29 days later, we reach the next blog century viz blog post number 20400.
It appeared like we reached the coveted summit of song post 20000 just recently. And now we havealready added another 400 songs to our tally.
In case of the previous century, the century song was identifed in advance. Here in this case, I decided on the song last evening, but when I looked at the songs that preceded the century song, I decided that the century song needed to sound as good as the songs that preceded it early in the day. So I have picked a song that I had earlier earmarked for some other special occasion. I decided that a century post is as special an occasion as any for that song.
This song is from “Apne Paraaye”(1980). This movie in a way is a throwback to those days of yore when story of the movie was taken from a novel written by an eminent littérateur and the movie made on the story would be faithful to the story line contained in the literary masterpiece.
“Apne Paraaye”(1980) was based on a Bengali novel, ‘Nishkriti’ (1917) by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay needs no introduction, of course. His stories have been made into a large number of well known movies in several languages. His story of “Devdas” itself has been made into over 20 movies in various languages, four of them being in Hindi alone.

My 200th post
So, with this post I complete 200 song posts on Atul Song A Day blogpost. This activity gives me immense pleasure at this point in life where one tends to take things little lightly. The first 50 posts were posted in roughly 8-10 years time, but the rest of them have been posted in the last 4-5 years. The first 8-10 years period was the time when I worked full time and would work till late almost everyday. Then, during the weekend it was completely family time. So to find time in such a busy schedule was very difficult. Plus, I had 4-5 surgeries on my feet, specifically from 2017 onwards.
But the last few years have been a bit easier in that I have stopped working full time and have taken a part time position which is located remotely and suits my timing and lifestyle. Therefore, the pace of writing posts has increased.
The 100th song I posted was sung by the legend Lata Mangeshkar. So my 200th song is also sung by another legend – Kishore Kumar.

This article is the 20300th song post in the blog. This article covers the 100th solo song of Lata Mangeshkar which is penned by Rajinder Krishan and composed by C Ramchandra.

It was in early may (5 may 2026 to be precise) when the blog reached its previous century (blog post number 20200). Today,we are still in the month of may 2026, and we find ourselves reaching next century (blog post number 20300). Two centuries in the same month ! It is like two full moon days in the same month. 🙂
It must be said that reaching two centuries in a month was fairly common for the blog, but the last time this feat was achieved was in February 2018. Prior to that it was achieved in March 2017 and January 2015. This was very common before that. There were as manty as 34 such occasions before 2015. The month of April 2013 was extra special. As many as three century posts were published that month (on 1 april, 14 april and 28 april)! Those were the days when we used to score centuries in 13 and 14 days. The fastest century in the blog is scored in 11 days (song post number 4600 on 9 september 2011).
25 days for a century at a rate of 4 songs a day is quite decent by our present rate of posting. Unlike in the past, most posts now a days are guest posts. It shows that the blog has now firmly become an online collaboration of likeminded music lovers.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part I
(Asha Bhonsle singing for Actresses whose name begin with the letter A)
Asha Bhonsle passed away recently and many people paid tributes to her in various ways. One tribute that caught my eye was a video that carried snippets of 35 Asha Bhonsle songs picturised on 25 different actresses. The actresss were well known and the songs were well known too.
