Today’s songs from a Mythological film ‘Gaj Gauri’ (1958). The cast of this film consisted of Sulochana (Latkar), Ratnamala, Shahu Modak, Anant Kumar, Nana Palshikar and a host of mostly Marathi artistes plus an elephant named Ram Prasad.
When the talkie films era came to India, the early filmmakers tended to make films on folk tales and mythological stories in the first decade, i.e. 1931 to 1940. In the second decade of 1941 to 1950 many religious films were made. Some of them like ‘Ram Rajya’ (1943) being an all India blockbuster. And the third decade from 1951 to 1960 achieved the peak for mythological films made, worth calling it ‘The Golden Period of Religious films’. As many as 124 such films were made in this decade. From 1961 to 1970 and 1971 to 1980 were ok, but 1980 onwards there was a decline in such films and mythological films became scarce except some dubbed films from the South, where such films are made even today regularly. The television became a competition to this as many dharmik serials were shown on TV.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –20
This post today brings us to the 900th song of Mukesh on the blog. This is a significant milestone, considering that the total songs of by Mukesh are just about one thousand. As we get closer to that number, the songs are becoming harder to trace.
Today, 22 July is legendary singer Mukesh’s birthday. (22 July 1923 – 27 August 1976)
And this is his 900th song on the blog. As such, it is a very special post.
There is a possibility that this could be his last century on the blog and that he is unlikely to reach the magical 4-digit tally. However, I shall leave no stone unturned to disprove myself. Long ago, I had even made a mental note and earmarked a unique song to post as his 1000th song on the blog, if we could manage to do so. However, it was covered by one of the editors. Can anyone guess that unique song ?

A Very Happy Holi celebration to all.
Well yes, coming at almost the end of the celebration day. But the greetings and good wishes are being delivered with a one year warranty, valid for a full year, till we come to the next instalment of this celebration.
Maybe many folks did not notice it, but this year’s occurrence of this festival of colours is likely the most rare and unique play out of the celebrations ever. At least I do not remember having encountered this version of the celebration ever in my life. And I would like to hear from the readers, if anyone else has. Like a few other things that happen once in life, this celebration of Holi is once in a lifetime experience.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –16
I begin this very special post with a video of Asha Bhosale ji on her own youtube channel.
A short video wherein she speaks about her first 3 songs in Hindi Films.
I tried to trace the chronological accuracy of the songs enlisted in the video. What I found was that the films mentioned seem to be correct, but she has sung two songs in her second film and so her duet in Lekh (1949) could be her fourth and she mentions it as her third.
Sometime later, I will try to trace the exact chronology, but what matters for this post is her first duet in Hindi Films.
A duet with none other than Mukesh.
I request readers to watch the interesting video as Asha ji talks of her initial days in the industry.
I wish the video was fully on Mukesh, but then she digresses on some other topic.
Anyway, her first interaction with Mukesh is quite interesting and only reaffirms and confirms the godly title given to Mukesh, “a noble soul”.
As is evident from the video, Mukesh right from his initial days had no qualms on worldly pleasures and led a simple, honest and righteous life. No wonder the voice emanating from such a noble soul continues to enthral music lovers all over the world to this day.
Coming to this post, I call it special as it is my 100th Mukesh post on the blog.

The Holy Festival of Chhathh Pujaa is going on at present. This festival is dedicated to ‘Chhathh Maiyyaa’ (Mother Chhathh) and ‘Surya Devta’ (Lord Sun). ‘Chhathh Pujaa’ is one of the biggest festivals of India which was confined to the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and some parts of Uttarakhand in the past. But nowadays now it is observed all over the country whereever people from these states have migrated for job and cannot make it to their native places. Moreover those who have settled elsewhere in India have started to observe it in their new residences instead of going back to their original native places on this occasion.
