20 Years, Countless Shows...But This One Hit Different...I've been fortunate to travel the world for the past two decades - performing, hosting, anchoring. From musical concerts to lit fests, wedding function, sharing the stage with authors, poets, legends you name it & it's been ticked off my list... it's been a whirlwind. Honestly, I've lost count of how many shows I've done. Some memories make it to my feed, others stay tucked away in my heart...And while I'm almost always on stage, rarely do I get the chance to just sit back, breathe, and be part of the audience - without the last-minute hustle or showtime adrenaline. But today was different. I witnessed a production by Ibaadat Foundation, and it left me stunned. The script, the music, the poetry - it was a masterclass in emotion. It reminded me why we fell in love with Indian cinema and its lyrical legacy in the first place. And watching Nandita, Prithvi sir along with the other guests weave stories on stage - I realised that even after all these years, there's still so much to learn. Honestly, I would've happily paid money to the organizers and said, "Can I please just be a part of this?" Especially when you're celebrating icons like Anand Bakshi Saheb...When a show is built with passion and structured with such heart, it does more than entertain - it moves you. P.S. Dinner conversations? All about this event. Every bit of it. A close friend noticed I have been writing a lot of late for my blog and tells me I should continue doing the same on Instagram when I can...so this one post from the heart goes out to you. B. Arvind, Radio Jockey, Radio One Ltd.

I am grateful to you all for your movement to preserve the treasure of the Indian musical arena. Just, hats off the efforts of your initiative. Parimal Das, Head Marketing, ACP Ltd.

Sir, कोलकाता में आपका आनंद बख़्शी के ऊपर गीतों का कार्यक्रम देखने का अवसर मिला. मैं सिलीगुड़ी में रहता हूँ और सिर्फ़ इस प्रोग्राम को देखने के लिए मैं कोलकाता गया था. मेरे मामाजी श्री राजकरन जी ने इस प्रोग्राम को देखने के लिए बहुत ज़ोर दिया. सच कहूं तो आप के इस प्रोग्राम को देखकर मैं अभिभूत हो गया. आपने आनंद बख़्शी जी की संगीतमय जीवन यात्रा के अनेक पहलुओं को छुआ और दर्शकों को बताया. अंत में आपकी मेहनत और लगन को बहुत बहुत बधाई और पूरी आपकी टीम को भी बहुत बहुत बधाई. मुझे आशा है आगे भी आप इस तरह के प्रोग्राम देते रहेंगे और हम संगीत प्रेमियों को नई शख़्सियत से रूबरू करवाएंगे. Kanak Lal Dugar, Supplier of Spares for Tea Machines, Siliguri
Sir, We enjoyed the program. It was a wonderful experience for our entire family as we were all eight members. We just went back to our old memories when we were young and grew up listening to these songs. All songs were having a sweet memory of the personal incidents of our life. Happiness, sadness, lost love, loving sibling and spending time with siblings, all came in front of our eyes like a memoir, feelings which we lost as we grew up and got entangled with new challenges in life. The entire program was giving a cool, sheetal, and peace at heart with past life, which we all are missing. Millions of thanks for getting back to us to our golden days. Keep it up and eagerly waiting for next year program. Convey my regards to Nanditaji for wonderful anchoring and all the singers for beautiful presentation. Also, my sincere thanks to you Prithvi ji for an excellent script. Fragrance of past air, again resurfaced and was very emotional. Shanti Lal Dugar, Managing Director, UMC Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Respected Prithvi ji, A to Z Review: A Tribute to Anand Bakshi – A Musical Journey Like No Other Astonishingly soulful, the evening was a, Breathtaking celebration of Anand Bakshi's legendary lyrics. Charm flowed through every composition, capturing hearts across generations. Delightful renditions brought nostalgia alive with every note. Each song echoed with emotion, expertly performed by passionate artists. Flawless in execution, the program was a musical feast. Golden melodies glided gracefully, giving goosebumps galore. Heartfelt tributes highlighted Bakshi saab's genius. Iconic numbers intertwined with moving stories behind the lyrics. Joyous applause filled the air, as the audience relived cherished memories. Kaleidoscopic in variety, from romantic duets to patriotic anthems. Lyrically rich, the songs lingered long after the last note. Magical moments unfolded, one after another. Nostalgia wrapped the room in a warm musical hug. Ovation after ovation testified to the show's brilliance. Performers poured their soul into every stanza. Quality of production was top-notch-sound, visuals, everything. Remembering Bakshi saab felt both personal and profound. Sentiments ran high, stirred by the timelessness of his work. Tales behind the tunes added touching texture to the night. Unforgettable is an understatement. Verses penned decades ago still felt fresh and vibrant. Waves of melody washed over the audience like a musical tide. Exceptional (yes, with a little poetic license!)-the only word to describe it. Yearning for more, the audience left with full hearts and humming lips. Zestful, zealous, and deeply moving-a show for the ages. “Special mention to the outstanding curator, Prithvi Haldea, whose vision and passion brought this masterpiece to life. I look forward to his shows every year-they are truly unmissable!!” I will like to send a small token of appreciation. Please can you send me your bank details. Kavita Jhunjhunwala

वाह, क्या बात है ! मुरीद तो हम तुम्हारे पहली ही मुलाकात मेँ हो गये थे। अब तो तारीफ़ करूँ क्या उसकी. जिसने तुम्हें बनाया... या फिर उसकी जिसने यह लीक से हट कर "इबादत" का खयाल तुम्हें सिर्फ सुझाया ही नहीं बल्कि उसको मुकम्मल ढंग से बखूबी कारगर करने का तरीक़ा, सलीका, हुनर, हौसला और सब्र भी दिया। सोने पे सुहागा was Rakesh Bakshi. I had tears in my eyes several times. हम तो अब आखिरी पड़ाव पर हैं (हाल ही मेँ अस्सी पार हुए हैं) पर ख़ुदा तुम्हारी उम्र दराज़ करे और तुम कयामत तक अपनी इस "इबादत" को बरकरार रख सको-यही हमारी दुआ है। Ramesh Kejriwal, Silk Exporter
Dear Prithvi ji, Allow me to briefly introduce myself. I am Dilip Khandelwal. My grandfather had the honour of being the first Indian President of the Calcutta Stock Exchange, and my father-in-law, the late Govardhan Das Gupta of Ahmedabad, was once the single largest individual shareholder of TISCO. My wife, Bharti, has been an integral part of the Stock Exchange for the past 52 years. I came into contact with Ibaadat through Rajiv ji from Jaipur last year, who is a close friend of my brother-in-law, Raj Kumar Khandelwal of Mumbai. Rajiv ji and the late Sheela ji had also visited my office, and that marked the beginning of my association with your incredible journey. Before I share my feelings about your work, I thought it was important to give you a glimpse into my background. Now, coming to what truly moved me-your vision, your devotion, and the soulful structure of Ibaadat. The way you've researched, curated, and presented the program is nothing short of extraordinary. A performance that flows seamlessly, without breaks or unnecessary chatter, focusing purely on the music and its deep significance-this is rare and precious. I had the pleasure of attending yesterday's event, and like last time, I was completely captivated. The audience around me was equally immersed, almost spellbound, by the spiritual and emotional connect you so effortlessly evoked. Your work is a labor of love-each brick and wall of Ibaadat built not just with effort, but with passion, purity, and purpose. It's truly a gift to the world of music and culture. Incidentally, I also share close ties with the Haldea family in Delhi, and through them too, I've come to admire many facets of our cultural fabric. I look forward to connecting with you personally in the future. Wishing you and your entire team continued success, happiness, and heartfelt appreciation. Dilip Kumar Khandelwal, Wholetime Director, KB Capital Markets Pvt. Ltd.

Another great show by your Ibaadat. Your script brought out his life so well. And the selection of his songs was perfect.

I understand that due to limited time, you could not include lot of other popular songs, but overall it was a unique show, concept and presentation by you. Vasanti Premal, Music Teacher
Thank you for such a well-researched show. You rightly said that we remember so many songs, without bothering to find out who wrote them. These songs have survived because of the lyrics. A highlight of the show was making the singers sing many songs without any music so we could focus entirely on the lyrics. Sanya Qureshi, Path Lab

Fantastic show. Each show surpasses the other. Prithviji personal thank you to you. इतनी मेहनत करते हैं, इतना श्रम डालते हैं.

So, you are not getting older, just getting younger. Meeta Sethia, Director, Elastic Lace India Pvt. Ltd.

इबादत की theme है अमर गीतों के भूले बिसरे गीतकारों की यादें ताज़ा करना.
गीत बनाता है कोई और गाता है कोई, सामने आता है कोई और छिप जाता है कोई
उन अमर गीतकारों को याद करें, करते रहें, इबादत का ये पैग़ाम जान ले हर कोई
उन कलाकारों के लिए सर झुकाए हर कोई, इबादत का ये पैग़ाम जान ले हर कोई
आज की ये शाम, आनंद बक्शी जी की यादगार में समर्पित है....
ये शाम मस्तानी, बार बार दिन ये आये, रूप तेरा मस्ताना, रैना बीती जाये
ये क्या हुआ, कब हुआ, कुछ तो लोग कहेंगे, सावन का महीना, पवन करे सोर हम सुनेंगे
दम मारो दम सुनके ही गम मिट जाये, आनंदजी के गीतों का जादू, इबादत हमें दिखाए
इन सुरों की खुशबू, city of joy को महकाये, आनंदजी के गीतों का जादू, इबादत हमें दिखाए
इन्ही भावनाओं के साथ,
Thank you very much, thanks a lot...Tarun Sethia, Proprietor, Tarun Sethia
