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.

Today happens to be the 24th death anniversary of one of the absolute geniuses that our Hindi film industry has ever produced. He was a colossus, especially as a singer, and there is certainly no way that this blog would let such an occasion, sad though a death anniversary always is, to go unnoticed.

Atul is aware that this particular cabaret song and dance is one of my favorites, performed by the very lithe and graceful Faryal. It contains most of the peculiarly Indian cabaret traits that make me love them so: male background dancers, a fake Sheikh or two, a Boss lurking in silhouette, and a lively band clad in frilly outfits. So how perfect for it to be the 4700th song posted on this brilliant blog!

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. 😀

Even as I type out this write-up, my fingers are trembling. And I am not exaggerating! I have written over 50 write-ups for this blog so far and yet I find myself struggling to put down my thoughts coherently for this particular piece. It is not as if I have writer’s block (which I may also well have) ; it is just that the occasion seems to have got the better of me. I find myself totally inadequate to the occasion, and although I’ve just started, I have this nasty foreboding that I am going to make a mess of this, I am going to end up “choking”. I am suddenly beginning to empathise and sympathise with the South African cricket team. 😀
