in 1992 1993 i got an opportunity to meet him. at that time i was
almost 8 years child. he talked to me and adviced me that: agar gayak
banna hai to vahin gana jo apne dil ko acchha lage. though today i am
not big singer but his advice really worked in my case. i am really
going to miss his gazals.
