      FOREWORD

      I have written this book with the intention of expressing my devotion to my Gurujee Pt. Phiroz Dastur. A doyen of the Kirana Gharana and a Torch-bearer, particularly of the Ustad Abdul Karim Khan Style of singing. One who commanded popularity, as a singer, right from his young age in 1931 to the present times. It is not common to come across a teacher of his calibre, particularly with the honesty and love he taught his every student for years. I happened to be one of them. I consider myself fortunate to be blessed to have had a teacher like him right from 1965 to 1995, though with some intermittent gaps due to my trips outside India and his too, because of his trips to USA during every summer. To accompany him on the Stage while he was singing was indeed a matter of great experience.

      I also wish to thank my wife Neelima who has been a source of encouragement and support at every stage of this book.

      In conclusion, may I share my experience with the readers, particularly the music-loving ones and students of the Hindustani Classical Vocal Music
