Gosh, it has been a long trek already, and the night is very late as I complete the preparation and the write up for this post. And I am thinking about the 29 months, that seem to have flown by already. I had signed up for getting email notifications from this blog on 1st October, 2010, and today, it is exactly 2 years and 5 months. And what a heady and euphoric journey it has been so far.

It was only when I read an article on actor-singer Ashraf Khan written by Arun Kumar Deshmukh as part of a series of his articles on some lesser known singers for this blog that I realised that the thumri sung by Ashraf Khan which I referred to earlier was in fact a thumri based song from the film ‘Baaghbaan’ (1938).

I have mentioned that “Magroor” (1950) is one of the more lovable Hindi movies of all time in my opinion.
