Most people do not value time as much as they value money. They do not realise that time, unlike money, continues to slip under our fingers irretrievably, every monent of our life. sixty minutes make an hour, and twentyfour such hours make a day. Thirty such days make a month, a couple of months make a season, six such seasons make a year, and with that one year is gone. Like this years continue to slip away. Most people waste their childhood in playing and their youth in carnal pleasures. And before they realise it, they have wasted their whole life without doing anything worthwhile ! They have wasted all the opportunities that came their way !

When I look at the statistics for the blog, I find that there have been 13 singers,13 lyricists and 15 music directors who have completed their individual centuries of songs. Among the list of non centurions, I notice four music directors and three lyricists who have 50 + songs to their credits in the blog at present and they are next in line for their individual centuries. But when I look at the list of singers, I find that the singers who are closest to 100 songs mark are in their twenties and thirtees. K L Saigal is the closest to 100 and he is at 34. Next are Usha Mangeshkar, C Ramchandra, Amirbai Karnataki and Meena Kapoor.

A few hours ago, I came across a lovely song from a very old movie. Here is this song, which is sung by Kanan Devi, and I guess that this song is picturised on her as well. Aarzoo Lucknowi is the lyricist and music is composed by R C Boral.
