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 100 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.

I have been doing some research on the works of Gopaldas Saxena ‘Neeraj’ – both as a poet and a lyricist for Hindi films. Being an admirer of this great poet and lyricist, I have been reading his poems that are available on the websites and also going through the available songs that he wrote for Hindi films. Suffice it to say here that he wrote over 100 songs for about 40 films during his stint in Hindi film industry. After 1975, The rate of his song writing for films had dwindled considerably since 1975, when he began to work from his home in Aligarh. The last time that he wrote a song for a film was for his close friend Dev Anand’s ‘Charge Sheet’ (2011).
