“Saawan Ki Ghataa” (1966) was a movie directed by Shakti Samant. I find that the screenplay of this movie was written by Gulshan Nanda, the leading Hindi novelist of those days. So it leads me to think that this movie could well be based on a novel by Gulshan Nanda. Incedentally, movies like “Kati Patang”, Jheel Ke Us paar” etc are some of the movies based on Gulshan Nanda’s novels.

Today I came across another of those must-post-right-away number. I met this song again today on YouTube after ages. I remember having heard it decades ago on the radio, but then it simply seemed to have disappeared. As usual, looking for something else today, I bumped into this gem of a melody.

O P Nayyar was at the peak of his musical and professional prowess in 1950s. By 1960s, he was on the decline. But even then, he continued to create some sublime music till late into 1960s.

When a cricketer hits a fast paced century (in any form of the game), that is stuff for headlines. Newspapers will carry that item on front page. (Btw fastest century record is held by Shahid Afridi, scoring an ODI century in 37 balls; for test cricket Vivian Richards with a century in 56 balls.)
We have stuff for a similar headline news on this blog. We have a new record for the fastest century of songs. Welcome to the 4200th offering of what is increasingly becoming a misnomer, Song-A-Day blog. With an average of over 7 songs posted per day, the musical journey from 4101 to 4200 has been covered in 14 days flat. This beats the previous record of 16 days. Congratulations ALL. 😀
