The biggest festival of our country ‘Diwaalee’ is here and people all over, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion and class, are celebrating this festival. However, life is not the same for all (just like ‘kabhee dhoop kabhee chhaaon’). The migrant labors working away from homes and families wait whole year for this festival to visit their homes. Relatives of such peoples await them to celebrate the festival together. I too have gone through similar situations in my working life (But those details are not the part of this post today.)

Life is hard and life is not the same for all. For some it is a happy diwaalee and for some it might be ‘sad diwaalee’ too. Still, we have to keep our morale high and not give up hope.

The festival of light-Diwaalee is here and I take this opportunity to wish one and all a very happy, prosperous, healthy, safe and of course a full of music Diwaalee in this year 2025.

Each year when we celebrate Diwaalee our hearts are filled with nostalgia and music that has been an integral part of our life. Hindi Cinema music has given to us a number of songs for this occasion and they cover all human emotions in these songs whether happy, sad, bringing back memories, missing the beloved on festival etc etc.

Today 19th October 2025 is the sixty-ninth birthday of actor Sunny Deol. He was born on 19th October 1957. He has been a director and producer of movies too and he was a Member of Parliament from 2019-2024.

On the occasion of birthday of Sunny Deol (real name Ajay Singh Deol), I am presenting a song from his debut film ‘Betaab-1983’. The song that I am presenting has been one of my favorite songs from those years and I like it very much. This song was my first choice for today’s presentation among many other songs that I had in my mind. The fact that it is a Pancham composition is another reason to bring it here today.

This musical bandwagon i.e. our blog ‘atulsongaday…’ recently clocked the 19500th post and this was also a special post for another reason i.e. it marked the 3400th Rafi song on this blog.

That leads us to think about the Rafi songs that are yet to be presented here. We have a long way to go for that. The total number of Rafi songs for films are 4846 (as mentioned in the statistics page of the blog). So we have another 1446 Rafi songsleft to be covered in the blog provided they are all available for us to savour.

The previous post published earlier today was post number 19499. Eagle eyed regulars may have also noticed that today was 6300th day for the blog. So, going by past experience, they must be expecting the blog century post today.

They are not wrong, of course. When I noticed that we were approaching 6300th day for the blog, I decided to coincide that with blog century post. That meant I had to slow down from the usual rate of posts (3 to 4 posts a day) for a couple of days.

It is not the first time when blog century post has appeared on such a round hundred day for the blog. 18700th post had appeared on on 6000th day. Earlier 16900th post had appeared on 5000th day of the blog.
