This blog reaches landmarks at regular intervals. I have divided this landmarks into two categories:-

Category one landmarks:- which are achieved as a result of posting articles. Example being, century of blog posts, thousands of blog posts, century post of artists, thousandth post of artists etc. As can be seen one needs to post one hundred articles for a century post to materialise and so on.

Category two landmarks:- These are landmarks that are not in our control and they are dependent on time and happen with time largely irrespective of blog post activities . For example, blog completing 100 days or 1000 days. Visitors reaching a certain number in the blog etc.

Two days ago (on 14 April 2026), the blog reached a category two landmark when 18 millionth visitor visited the blog. As mentioned earlier, this is a landmark that takes place on its own. It went largely unnoticed but for an alert regular who pointed it out to us on the night of 14 april 2026 that the blog visitors count had reached 18 millions.

Mukesh and his Actors – 09

Actor Rakesh Pandey (9 April 1940-21 March 2025) made his acting debut in the film Sara Aakash (1969). He won the President’s Award for his role in the film. Apart from Hindi films and TV serials, he was also associated with Bhojpuri silver and small screen and won several awards in the latter regional language association.

He was also associated with FTII, IPTA etc. But with all these startups and awards, my perception is that he could not place himself in the top league of actors. He is, however, known for playing family-centric roles and his rich contributions counted and remembered.

Mukesh and his Composers – 35

Who was the first woman music director in Indian films?

Well, to the unversed but having some intertest in HFM, Usha Khanna’s name would crop up in the mind. To the more learned ones, Saraswati Devi would be the answer. To experts, it would be Jaddanbai, the mother of legendary actress Nargis.

However, the credit goes to Ishrat Sultana aka Bibbo, who was the composer of Adl-e-Jahangir released in 1934. Jaddan Bai’s score for Talash-e-Haq was a year later in 1935.

फिर तेरी याद नए गीत सुनाने आई

Yes, it is a story of every day – a song plays and memories come by. Or sometimes, memories passing thru remind of a song that is so very dear to the heart. That is all that remains now – memories and songs playing hide and seek in the dimly lit bylanes of the mind.

The next song in this series comes from the 1976 film ‘Ladki Bholi Bhaali’. And incidentally this film is also making its debut on the blog today. That makes it three in a row today – 🙂 🙂 .

This is the 13700th post for the blog and 1000th post as a lyricist for Rajinder Krishan

Thousandth post, whether they are for the blog, or the artists or the contributors are quite rare though. There have been only 13 such occasions for the blog. Only five artists and two contributors have completed their set of thousand posts in the blog.
