Chat mangni pat shaadi

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.

“Pyaar Ka Mausam” (1969) is a movie which was released during my pre teen years. I never saw the movie because my elders were of the type who rationalised that movies was bad for kids. And as a result I spent much of my childhood deprived of Hindi movies.

There are a few milestones in this blog that I eagerly look forward to. One of them is the obvious milestone of century songs. Every song that marks the completion of a century is a special song for this blog and we celebrate it by discussing a special song on that occasion. There have been 44 such occasions for this blog.

Typically our readers send us farmaishes of songs and we in this blog struggle to fulfil all these farmaishes. And it is my fond wish that a day will come when the shoe will be on the other foot and our readers will struggle to think of songs as farmaishes. 😀

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.

A hundred songs ! Given that the film industry generates many thousands of songs every decade, a hundred songs is a small number. But these hundred are special. These hundred belong to a very exclusive set of a total of 185 songs. And this exclusive set is the musical fortune, each song a jewel studded with priceless gems. Available for the pleasure of all, yet this treasure is a mine of gold and diamonds. Priceless, for this is all that is. There cannot be any more additions to these jewels. Yes, I refer to the recorded legacy of Saigal Saab – a list of 185 recordings in all. Of these, 110 belong to Hindi films, 37 are non filmi songs, in Hindi / Urdu. Of the remaining, a set of 30 recordings are part of Bengali cinema, and the remainder are in other languages (Punjabi, Tamil, Persian). So yes, this blog now hosts 100 of the total of 147 renditions (in Hindi/Urdu) by Saigal saab. An important accomplishment and an occasion to celebrate. Congratulations all.

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.

Another one of those songs that must find its due place on this blog. This is a gem of a Talat rendition, that has been a favorite of mine since childhood. As I listened to it again today, I checked and realized it is not yet posted. And so here it is, a very melodious and hummable soft creation that simply steals into your heart.

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. 😀
