His humbleness struck me dumb and didn’t know how to respond. All I could manage saying was “Sir, let me meet you once and ask for your blessing in person, so that you would know how much your words mean to me. He replied “You have my blessings dear! Let’s meet sometime, bring your music director along”. I’m sure to meet you sir! Get well soon!"
