This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie songs and a regular contributor to this blog.
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. 😀

During old days (1950s to 1980s), a K L Saigal song was played as the last song of the programme “Puraani Filmon ke geet” in the Hindi service of Radio Ceylon (later renamed Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation) broadcast from 7-30 AM to 8-00 AM. But they were under no obligatio to broadcast different K L Saigal songs every day. So the same few songs were constantly recycled in that programme.

We have so far discussed as many as ten songs from “Bhakt Surdas”(1942) and that includes lots and lots of K L Saigal songs. Talking of K L Saigal songs, we have been discussing one K L Saigal song daily for the last six weeks and so far we have discussed as many as 75 K L Saigal songs. If we continue to discuss one K L Saigal song a day, then we will reach the century of K L Saigal songs in a month’s time.

Din se duguni ho jaayen ratiyaan

Hindi movie songs is a vast ocean and so far we in this blog have only been to the surface with occasional plunges. We have only covered a small fraction of all the songs that are lying out there. However, when it comes to songs of K L Saigal, we have made considerable progress. Almost all K L Saigal Hindi movie songs that are available on youtube have been disussed. The remaining Hindi filmsongs of K L Saigal are not available on youtube/dailymotion. So one needs to upload these hitherto unavailable songs in order to discuss them here. And that is what I have been doing with K L saigal movie song these days.

Jis jogi ka jog liyaa wo
Posted on: June 24, 2011
I have been discussing a K L Saigal song daily in this blog and I have so far discussed 58 such songs. I have now reached a stage where almost all the K L Saigal songs uploaded on youtube have been exhausted. Now we are entering into slighly deeper waters as far as K L Saigal songs are concerned. All the songs that one tended to listen to at the stroke of 8 AM in radio Ceylon in the past decades have been covered and now the remaining K L Saigal songs are more rare as far as many listeners, including I am concerned.
