Mush appreciated also was sticking to the time schedules…Kudos…Thanks Prithvi ji. Alaka Rao, Professor & Head Dept of Microbiology & Immunology, SMS Medical College

Sir, the programme was indeed very well conceptualized, planned, practiced and presented. We are aware of how much research, hard work and meticulously rehearsals must have been required in putting up such shows on various lyricists every year. This year’s programme on Legend Anand Bakshi was just outstanding, showing his life's journey highlighting ups and downs of his life. It is a herculean task to select songs to be presented in two and half hours from his album of about 4000 songs. In nutshell, I can only say this programme was marvellous, memorable and highly entertaining. Tejendra Singh Rathore, Retd. Wing Commander, Indian Air Force

The event was well conceptualized and all the six singers performed beautifully reliving the legacy of Anand ji Bakshi. I truly appreciate your hard work in developing a well-knit screenplay and the set on the stage. Thank you for making us part of that beautiful evening. Latika Rawat, Secretary, Speeak

 It was like a flowing poetry. It provided an “एहसास” of being in an angelic world for those two and half hours. I could see perfection drop-down to earth all the time. Although I believe perfection is unachievable, but Ibaadat proved me wrong. It was meticulously crafted in every aspect, be it conceptualisation, script writing, research, the conversations & dialogues, singing and music. All in all, it was a divine experience. Dr. Sheh Rawat, Head of Department-Radiation Oncology, Bhagwan Mahaveer Cancer Hospital & Research Centre

इबादत की शाम कोई साधारण शाम नहीं थी. हमने देखा और सुना शायरी संगीत और शब्दों के उस जादू को जिसे आपने अपने अथक प्रयासों से सजाया था। सलाम है आपके उस जज़्बे को जिसने हमें एक ऐसी शख्सियत से रूबरू कर दिया जो आज हमारे बीच नहीं है। आभार और धन्यवाद आपकी पूरी टीम को जिसने न जाने कितने दिनों की मेहनत के बाद इस इबादत को तैयार किया है.Arvind Sethi, Proprietor, Yash Machinery

A diehard fan of Ibaadat. The show was truly mesmerizing and emotionally stirring! I wet my handkerchief and tried hard to fight back tears throughout the 150 minutes of the show!

आपको देखा, सुना, आपके आयोजन, स्क्रिप्ट, समर्पण theme, संगीत...मेहनत को जाना, बक्षी साब के बारे में वो भी जाना जो कभी न सुना न पढ़ा, बहुत बहुत आभार और अभिनंदन, आपने मुझे और मेरे परिजनों को इस कार्यक्रम में भाग लेने का अवसर दिया, आभार, आपका चिंतन और सोच कि ईश्वर ऐसा मंच या सभागार बनाने में आपको सक्षम बनाए जुड़ने केवल पहली कतार हो, speechless कर दिया, आमतौर पर कई कारणों और सीमाओं से इस प्रकार के कार्यक्रम से timeline ऊपर नीचे हो जाती है, लेकिन आपका आयोजन  घड़ी के हिसाब से सम्पन्न हुआ, गायक भी बेमिसाल, जिन्होंने बिना instrument के लाजवाब गाया, सादर अभिनंदन और आभार.
