Suman, the other nightingale of India
Chandigarh, December 14
"Yunhi dil ne chaha tha, rona rulana, teri yaad to ban gayi ik
bahana...", "Na tum hamen jaano, na hum tumhen jaane, magar lagta, hai kuchh
aisa, mera humdum mil gaya...," "Mere mehboob na ja, aaj ki raat na jaa...,"
"Chand kanwal, mere chand kanwal, chup chaap so ja, yun na muchal...,"
"Sharabi, sharabi, ye sawan ka mausam, Khuda ki kasam khoobsurat na hota....".
Beautiful Lata Mangeshkar numbers ? Wrong, all these unforgetable songs have been sung by sweet-voiced Suman
Kalyanpur.
