Blog Day :6554Post No. :20400

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.

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.

If we liken this blog to a Train, and posts to stations, then important posts can be considered important stations. We in this blog consider century posts as important destinations. By that token thousandth posts are very important stations. Even among them, post numbers 5000, 10000, and their multiples are considered very very important destinations.

Last month on 11 March 2026, the blog reached the very very important destination of 20000th song post.

It was 29 days ago (on 9 January 2026) that we had reached blog song post number 19800. That song post also happened to be 300th duets of Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. If 300 duets of a pair of singers is an enormous achievement then what will we say about twice that number of duets ? 600 duets !! That is a mind boggling mind numbing number of duets. This feat is achieved by Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhonsle in the blog.

That occasion is here again. The occasion when we reach a blog century post and then start wondering which song to cover as the century song. This time, I had a genneral idea that which artists should figure in the sopng. Apart from that, I was just as unprepared for the occasion as I generally am whenever a blog century appears. Acting at the eleventh hour and 59th minute has become a habit with me it seems. 🙂

As it is, Blog century is a regular and recurring destination for the blog. after we arrive at a blog century, we do not take a pause rather keep continuing to cover more and more songs in the blog and before we realise, we are staring at the next blog century.

This has taught me a lesson that When you do not worry about the destination then you reach your destination almost painlessly and unnoticeably.When one thinks about it, one realises that we have had as many as 196 blog centuries already and now we are only blog century number 197, viz blog song post number 19700.

This blog century has been reached in 26 days, which appears quite a good pace for the blog at present. We cannot compare this rate from the last decade when we were clocking centuries in 16 days but then we were one decade younger at that time and we had far more energy.

Blog Day :

6300 Post No. : 19500

The previous post published earlier today was post number 19499. Eagle eyed regulars may have also noticed that today was 6300th day for the blog. So, going by past experience, they must be expecting the blog century post today.

They are not wrong, of course. When I noticed that we were approaching 6300th day for the blog, I decided to coincide that with blog century post. That meant I had to slow down from the usual rate of posts (3 to 4 posts a day) for a couple of days.

It is not the first time when blog century post has appeared on such a round hundred day for the blog. 18700th post had appeared on on 6000th day. Earlier 16900th post had appeared on 5000th day of the blog.

The blog keeps achieving various landmarks in due course of time. Some landmarks are more frequent than others. The blog completing a century of songs is the most noticeable and most frequent landmark. We have seen as many as 193 such landmarks. With this post, we arrive at the 194th blog century mark. Put simply, this song post is the song post number 19400 for the blog.

There are some other kind of century landmarks too that we achieve from time to time. One such landmark is century of songs by artists, or century of songs by guest contributors. As many as 85 artists (39 Music directors, 33 lyricists and 23 singers have touched century posts each. In some cases, these artists have even reached several thousands of posts. In other words they have achieved many centuries for themselves. For example, Lata Mangeshkar has more than 4000 song posts in the blog as a playback singer.
