Usually, on this blog, we find ourselves digging through the dusty bins of the 1940s and 50s, looking for a rare Geeta Dutt or a forgotten C. Ramchandra gem. But every once in a while, a song comes along in the modern era that feels like it was written with a fountain pen in a rain-soaked balcony, far away from the noisy “reels” and “trends” of today.

In the world of Hindi film music, we often talk about the “Golden Era” as if it were a closed chapter. But every so often, an artist emerges who reminds us that the spirit of that era—the focus on baat (the word) and ehsaas (the feeling)—is very much alive.

Today’s song is a viral miracle. It’s titled “Chor“, released in early 2024 by an independent artist who goes by the name Justh. This song is by the artist whose journey is as unconventional as his name. Justh (who keeps his legal name private, asserting that “Justh” is a word he has given meaning to) was once a Chartered Accountant. In interviews, he mentions that he didn’t “shift” careers as much as he finally found the correct vehicle to express his thoughts about the universe. He draws deep inspiration from the honesty of legends like Rabindranath Tagore, aiming for an art that is “truthful” rather than just “impressive.”

We normally have a feeling of nostalgia towards the films we watched in our youth. We always love their music, their artists and the general experience we watched while seeing those films in the cinema halls of yore. Sometimes, in newer films, we see tributes being paid to them. Occasionally, we find the tributes a bit insipid leaving us uninspired. However, once in a while, a song makes you really feel good and enjoy it while giving you a feeling of nostalgia. Today’s song is one such song.

It has been a while since my number of posts on the Atul’s Song A Day Blog have been sitting at a Dozen. The Thirteenth post has taken a while. The number 13 is it Unlucky. Let us see what is the reason for this.
The number 13 is considered unlucky in many cultures (especially in Western countries) for a combination of historical, religious, and cultural reasons that reinforced one another over centuries. Here are the main sources of the superstition:-

This song post marks the 18400th song in the blog as well as 1001st song of Geeta Dutt in the blog.

Today’s special post marks the 18400th song to be posted on the blog. It is being posted on 20th July 2024 which marks 52 years since the honey voiced Geeta Dutt left for her heavenly abode, too early at the age of just 41 years old leaving behind three children and a legacy that can never be forgotten by music lovers.

This post also marks her 1001st song to be posted on the group. We normally combine artists century songs with the blog’s century songs but we had erred in counting Geeta Dutt songs in the blog and She was already on 1000 songs. So this song is 1001st song of hers (sort of like a shagun) to mark the 18400th song on the blog.

Geeta Dutt is the fifth playback singer and 10th artist to complete 1000 songs in the blog. Lata, Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar are the other playback singers with 1000 plus songs in the blog. Two music directors duos (Shankar Jaikishan, Laxmikant Pyarelal) and three lyricists (Rajinder Krishan, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Anand Bakshi) are the other artists with 1000 plus songs in the blog.

13th March 2023 proved to be a very special day for the Indian diaspora all over the world. It was the iconic Academy Awards aka Oscars night and all eyes were glued onto the stage awaiting the results. Indian film industry saw three nominations from it’s side and its winning two that night was something we will always remember.The Oscars are considered to be the top awards in the world by many. In my opinion, It is primarily an American Award primarily about American films and aimed at the American audience. In fact, most of the jury is also indeed American. Since, some time, it is however seen as aiming to be more ‘inclusive’ with one seeing awards beyond the usual suspects. We are seeing winners from around the world and artists of all kinds of backgrounds. Usually there are many entries sent from around the world for various categories and obviously it is not possible for all to make it to the final selections or winners. But whoever, reaches there is definitely something special.

It has been a while since I have been meaning to write my eighth post for the blog (technically ninth, the first one didn’t appear due to being a Pakistani film song!). Eight is considered a very round number and It would be a good idea to get out of its loop fast (has been long enough since my last post came in 2019 before the pandemic!!).

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

It is so heartening to see our beloved blog reaching yet another big milestone of 15000 songs being posted! Over a decade plus of hard work by all involved has made this possible but above all it has been Atul ji’s steadfast disciplined hard work which has led to it. I first of all congratulate him for this achievement. Your dedication, hard work and encouragement is always inspiring us. I have run out of hats to raise for all the wonderful work you have been doing here on this blog. May God always bless you and give you strength to achieve all your goals in your personal and official life.
