It has been mentioned by several readers that Dev Anand appeared almost immortal to them and it was inconceivable to them that he could ever die. But time and tide waits for none and everyone has to succumb some day. Dev Anand breathed his last on 3rd of december 2011 at the age of 88. He led an active life till the end. His zest for life and his youthful exuberance is something that is difficult to emulate for most people. With time , he had lost weight and had shrunk as was bound to happen, but his mental faculties continues to be sharp and he could still walk on his feet. Most people can only dream of such physical fitness if they ever live up to that age.

Every now and then, we lovers of this blog like to get together in this space and celebrate a milestone or landmark that this blog has achieved.
It may be a landmark to celebrate a particular artist’s hundredth (or even thousandth) song on this blog. Or it may be a landmark to celebrate yet another “century” on the blog song-count itself.
Recently, as we have now got multiple contributors to this blog, we have also celebrated “centuries” by contributors.
Each one of these milestones always gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Welcome all readers to another century celebration. With this post, this blog now has completed publication of 4900 songs, which is a remarkable feat by many standards. And this milestone is yet again marked with the consistency and continuity that has been unbroken for more than three years now. Much more than the number and the content of the posts, it is the perseverance and commitment to this effort, that are the outstanding qualities of maintaining the healthy pace of growth on this blog. And I present all kudos and praise to Atul ji, for spearheading this effort. A singular effort that is unparalleled in the cyber space. Heartfelt greetings to Atul ji and all readers of this blog, and best wishes and all my support in the cause of what this blog is attempting to accomplish.

In this blog, we discuss songs of yesteryears. Many of the songs are well known and some are in fact so well known that they have become part of day to day life of people.
But there are many songs which are lesser known and then there are songs that have been forgotten.

On the morning of the 14th of August 2011, a Sunday, when I casually checked Facebook, I expected to see the usual stuff. Typical (sometimes philosophical or witty) status messages or photos posted of a friend’s holiday trip.

With this post, we are celebrating the 4300th song on this blog. Keeping a fairly sharp pace, at the rate of about 6 or 7 songs per day, we reached this latest century milestone within 16 days of touching the 4200 mark. Congratulations to all.

When a cricketer hits a fast paced century (in any form of the game), that is stuff for headlines. Newspapers will carry that item on front page. (Btw fastest century record is held by Shahid Afridi, scoring an ODI century in 37 balls; for test cricket Vivian Richards with a century in 56 balls.)
We have stuff for a similar headline news on this blog. We have a new record for the fastest century of songs. Welcome to the 4200th offering of what is increasingly becoming a misnomer, Song-A-Day blog. With an average of over 7 songs posted per day, the musical journey from 4101 to 4200 has been covered in 14 days flat. This beats the previous record of 16 days. Congratulations ALL. 😀
