My 200th post
So, with this post I complete 200 song posts on Atul Song A Day blogpost. This activity gives me immense pleasure at this point in life where one tends to take things little lightly. The first 50 posts were posted in roughly 8-10 years time, but the rest of them have been posted in the last 4-5 years. The first 8-10 years period was the time when I worked full time and would work till late almost everyday. Then, during the weekend it was completely family time. So to find time in such a busy schedule was very difficult. Plus, I had 4-5 surgeries on my feet, specifically from 2017 onwards.
But the last few years have been a bit easier in that I have stopped working full time and have taken a part time position which is located remotely and suits my timing and lifestyle. Therefore, the pace of writing posts has increased.
The 100th song I posted was sung by the legend Lata Mangeshkar. So my 200th song is also sung by another legend – Kishore Kumar.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part I
(Asha Bhonsle singing for Actresses whose name begin with the letter A)
Asha Bhonsle passed away recently and many people paid tributes to her in various ways. One tribute that caught my eye was a video that carried snippets of 35 Asha Bhonsle songs picturised on 25 different actresses. The actresss were well known and the songs were well known too.

Hullo Atuldom
At the outset I would like to wish the blog & the Brain behind the blog on completion of 20000 posts, with this special post by Sudhirji. It was a song from 1931 film, just like the song with post number 10000.
I clearly remember the wait for the post number 10000, it was the rainy season of 2014 – July 20th, 2014 to be precise; a day after the blog’s sthapana diwas.
Congratulations to Atulji, Sudhirji, and the brigade of contributors led by our In-House Encyclopedia – Sri. Arunkumar Deshmukhji (whose personal score stands at 1823 at the time of writing this post). Having this many posts which give details about the films, artists, background of the particular song with accurate lyrics and accompanying video is no small feat. What began as Atulji’s effort to bring good songs onto the worldwide web (or cyberspace) with accurate lyrics has turned into a library/ a reference point for seekers.
Congratulations once again to the blog & atulites and I feel great that I am a part of it.
