Kala Ramnath
Pandit Jasraj
After my first concert, he took me for a walk and asked me what I wanted. If he couldn't get me a bar of chocolate, because stores were closed, he'd at least get me a banana. He was generous, and treated all his students as his children. If he bought something for his family, he would buy the same for his students as well. Pandit ji spoke of his students and their achievements, proudly. Early in my career, while I was accompanying him for a concert, a contemporary [artiste] told him I was good, but expressed reservations about my capability as a solo performer. After that, he insisted that I only do solo shows going forward. I don't know which guru could be so generous.
