About 20 years ago I got a gift... a gramophone
record titled "Geets of Hemant Kumar" Columbia
LP 33ESX 4251. Prior to that I had been exposed
mostly to Hemant's 70s and 80s voice since that
was the regular fare on the radio. And this
record had a completely "new" Hemant's voice,
a soft nasal voice, with a higher timbre. I
instantly fell in love with the songs on that LP.
It had 11 songs...kitna dukh bhulaya tumne
was the first song of side 1 and gaon ki rani
was the last song on side 2. That record is 
indeed a collectors item featuring Hemant's best
geets from the 40s. All the songs of that
record, save the one below have been posted on
RMIM. So here goes the last song from that LP.
Incidentally, the cover of the LP has been reused
by HMV as the cover of the CD titled "Magic moments
Hemant Kumar".
