Mega milestone.
Mega event.
And a Mega Rare song being discovered.

Given the age of online proliferation and sharing, it is a great event that one chances to discover a film song that one does not even begin to imagine may even exist.

Of course yes, the song is identified and listed in the Geet Kosh. But as is the case with the majority of the listed songs in the 1931-40 volume of Geet Kosh (Volume I), we do not even pause to glance at the list of songs on page after page, unless we come across a fuller body of description for a film of that era. And verily so. Out of the close to 9,900 hundred songs listed for 930+ films that are slated for that decade, sadly enough, less than 1,200 are actually available at this time. That is the state of affairs we have at this time.

Years 1931 and 1932

We are adding songs belonging to various years in the blog regularly for the last seven years. Though we have covered lots of ground, we have not yet taken a look back at the ground covered so far. It is high time we take a holistic look at the number of HFM songs of various years available in the blog and also the number of HFM songs created during that year as well as the number of songs likely to be available. That will give us an idea about where we stand in the blog when it comes to covering the songs of that year. It will also give us an idea of what is required to be done in the future.

When one looks at the yearwise list of songs in this blog. One finds that the oldest songs that we have in this blog are from 1933. Though Hindi talkies began to be produced in 1931 itself but the records of songs of these movies were not produced. It was only in 1932 that the idea of issuing gramophone records for songs was thought about. But as happens with most new ideas, the potential behind this concept was not immediately realised and only a few movie makers opted to have records of songs of their movies issued.
