Enriching, enchanting, exhilarating!!! An absolutely outstanding show on Sahir in Jaipur last week. It was - by some distance - the greatest lyrico-musical experience I have ever had. To bring out - so beautifully and effectively - the entire range of complexities of Sahir's personality and relationships through his poetry, brilliantly woven around your conversation, was indeed a commendable task. The whole program was conceived and presented in such an interesting manner that there wasn't a dull moment for a single second. The entire audience in the jam-packed auditorium, comprising passionate lovers of poetry and music, were glued to their seats for 2.5 hours, and left craving for more. Heady stuff. Pradip Narain, Director, Institute of Maths & Economics, New Delhi
Incredible experience! You created magic, and the spell of Sahir’s poetry will stay with me for a long long time...A two-and-a-half-hour performance, without a break, felt like it had ended too soon. The depth of the research on the lyricist’s life and work, and the wonderful talent of the singers and presenters brought alive Sahir Ludhianvi like never before, and perhaps after! A top-class performance! Dipa Singh Bagai, Advisor, National Health Authority, New Delhi
A big treat. The Sahir Ludhianvi show was the result of your pain-taking exercise to bring the life of this man really alive before such a large audience. Dr. P. C. Dandiya, Distinguished Emeritus Professor & Advisor, SMS Medical College Jaipur
The show was fantastic…well-researched, well presented and kept us spellbound. It is commendable that a group of non-professionals could produce this kind of show. Dr. Shanti C. Mathur, Retd. Prof. & Head, SMS Medical College and Hospital
