Ustadsaheb, do you think the Indian youth is interested in Indian classical music? Or is this art going to loose ground in our country.
Sitar (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:43 IST)
Who is the most exciting musician you have worked with? Pandit \ravi Shankar? Ustad Vilayat Khan?
Raga (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:43 IST)
I am sorry for being late. It is late night here in the US. Which would you say was your most memorable achievement in your career?

rupali (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:46 IST)
Ustadji..tabla has been the love of your life...but i always wanted to know apart from tabla which other instrument did u like most??
rupali (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:48 IST)
Ustadji did ur interest in Tabla develop when you were a kid..was music in your family or you develped the interest on your own?
Kirti Verma (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:48 IST)
Among all the performances you have given so far, which have been among the best. Which are your favourite places that you have performed in and why?

shree (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:49 IST)
Ustadji, Sangeet ke prati aap ka lagaav kab aur kahan se surroo huva?
Meera (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:50 IST)
Ustadji, my father studied tabla at MS University in Baroda. He now teaches tabla to youngsters here in the US. He has met your son, Zakir, along with several artists. I feel that his teachings help promote Indian classical music for the Indian youth of America. What are your thoughts on carrying on this musical legacy in the US?
Ravishankar (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:51 IST)
Namaste ustaadji, how do u compare the western music of today with the Indian classical one?
Santoor (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:52 IST)
Ustadssab: Namashkar. Many people are despondent about the future of Hindustani classical music. Do you think it will survive Channel [V] and MTV?
uma (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:52 IST)
Ustadji How do you keep learning new ragas and new methods . What kind of research do you need to do
Aparna Tara (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:54 IST)
Ustad, Indians know that the legends of Indian classical music like you, Ravi Shankar,Vilayat Khan etc have contributed immensely to enriching the art, but do you think there are enough younger generation artistes who can carry this rich art into the future.
uma (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:57 IST)
ustadji Why is it that most classical Indian musicians seem to find fame only in the west. We see them in Bombay and Delhi only for 2 months in the winter
rupali (Mon Jul 12 1999 21:57 IST)
ustadji ..aap fusion music ke baare me khayal rakhte hain..Fazal aur Taufiq inme khas ruchi rakhte hain..kya aap samjhte hain ki yeh shastriya sangeet se kahi hume door le ja raha hain?Khas kar jab aajkal har koyi is tarah ka sangeet banana chahta hain

Mudit (Mon Jul 12 1999 22:0 IST)
Sir, I really don't know if I should ask this...but being a classical musician, do you also like the Western Music or any other Jazzy rock Group??
The barne (Mon Jul 12 1999 22:1 IST)
Sir can you share your memories of the woodstock with us please?
raja (Mon Jul 12 1999 22:2 IST)
ustadji...aapka sabse pasandita raga konsa hai....? aur kyon....?
uma (Mon Jul 12 1999 22:3 IST)
ustadji At what age do children start learning to play the tabla in your school.
The barne (Mon Jul 12 1999 22:3 IST)
Sir Ustad Zakir hussain has brought a flamboyance to indian classical music which has made it popular with the youth but will classical music loose it's essence in the process?
shree (Mon Jul 12 1999 22:3 IST)
Ustadji, aap ke aaj tak ke sangeet safar me sab se avismarniya lamha kuan sa raha hai?
Kirti Verma (Mon Jul 12 1999 22:4 IST)
Ustad, what according to you have been your best performances. Which is your favourite venue, your best audience.
Aparna Tara (Mon Jul 12 1999 22:7 IST)
How many months do you travel for performances in a year. How much do you miss your home when you are away. What is that you miss most about your home when you are away.

Ustadji aap to jaante hai ki sangeet hindusthaniyonki jaan hai lekin garibon ko shastriya sangeet sikhne ke liye bhi waqt nahi milta agar aap chahen to yeh ho sakta hai aapke shows ma kamse kam ticket main kare to.

USTADJI,AGE KISI HINDI FILM KE LIYE MUSIC DIRECTION YA MUSIC DENE KE BAREME KYA KHAYAL HAI
rupali (Mon Jul 12 1999 22:47 IST)
ustadji...aajkal jamana "bhag- daud" ke music ka hain..lekin phir bhi jab shiv-hari jaise jodi ne popular music diya tha..kya aap bata sakte hain ki koyon Shastriya sangeet ke fankar film music nahi dete??
taal (Mon Jul 12 1999 22:54 IST)
today all music sounds the same" where is the originality" USTADJI, AAP NE ITNI SARI BATEN MUSIC INDUSTRY KE LIYE KAHI...but i still feel..jo bhi bade FANKAR rahe hai wo yis topic pe sochate hai ya nahi/kyon nahi sochate. Aap ka kahena bilkul duroost hai lekin longonko aajkal yahi MUSIC sunane ko milata hai(hindi films ka) or unki jaankari or liking wahi ban chuki hai. SO I STRONGLY FEEL ke aap jaise bare fankar isme SHAMEEL kyon nahi hai jisase humari CALSSICAL MUSIC, SUDHA SANGEET ka tradition,culture BARKARAR rahe. thanx.
raja (Mon Jul 12 1999 23:3 IST)
ustadji...agar maine kuch galat kaha ho to mujhe maph karna...lekin kabhi kabhi aisa lagta hai ki kash hamari sangeet ko apne desh mein aur ahmiyat milti...kehne ko to sab theek hai...lekin mujhe abh bhi lagta hai ki iski importance dheera dheere ja raha hai....aur hum sab apne tradtion ko bhool rahe hai... sirf kuch aap jaise hai jinhone isko kayam rakha hai... aur koshish kar rahe hai... bagwan apko lambi umr de...taki hum apne apko na bhoole... namashkar
