this is 20100th song post of the blog

If we liken this blog to a Train, and posts to stations, then important posts can be considered important stations. We in this blog consider century posts as important destinations. By that token thousandth posts are very important stations. Even among them, post numbers 5000, 10000, and their multiples are considered very very important destinations.

Last month on 11 March 2026, the blog reached the very very important destination of 20000th song post.

Today’s song is from a social film- actually a Love story- Jawani ki Reet-1939.

The year was 1939 and the British Government had declared war against Germany and Japan, as soon as the WW II began. All countries ruled by Britain were – willingly or unwillingly, drawn into the war efforts and its effects. The war began in the month of September and soon various restrictions came into operation – like rationing, blackouts, shortages etc. The film industry which was still under its development stage suffered. It also realised the importance of remaining united as one industry. However, all that came after 1 or 2 years. In 1939 there was not much effect seen on the film industry.
