Thank you, Prithvi ji. पाँच साल से आप के shows देख रही हूँ, and everything, every time is awesome. मैं आज दो ही चीज़ बोलना चाहूँगी...शानदार, जानदार. Jyoti Agarwal, Trustee, Sanjay and Jyoti Agarwal Foundation

I had the privilege to witness the great show of Ibaadat ka Safar. It was creatively curated with painstaking research by Mr. Haldea and his team. Artistes did full justice to the show and theme. Mr. Haldea's energy and enthusiasm was evident as much on stage as behind the curtain. Thanks and all kudos to Prithvi ji for bringing such a delightful show to the audience of Jaipur. Purushottam Agarwal, Chairman, Graintech Foods (I) Pvt. Ltd./ Retd. IAS/Director General, IGPRS, Govt. of Rajasthan and Uma Agarwal, Director, Niramay Foods Pvt. Ltd.

What a touching musical show. Seeing Sangeeta भाभी honored with such great respect made me so nostalgic and brought back a flood of memories-. It truly felt like her beautiful spirit was right there. "Truly" Ibaadat. Anuj Agrawal, Proprietor, Rajputana Cloth Store

Dear Prithvi ji, it's really nice to watch your production. In true sense, it is your Ibaadat of music, art and culture. Well-conceived, a thought process which ultimately came out with an extra-ordinary image of the music world. Darshan Singh Ajimal, Retd. Superintendent, GST & Customs and Japinder Kaur Ajimal, Owner, Sahiba Beauty Parlour

Dear Prithvi Haldea and Ibaadat team, Thank you very much for the outstanding program 'Ibaadat ka Safar'. Thank you for, 1. The intensive research by Prithvi ji. 2. The shaayari in soulful languages-Urdu and, Hindi. 3. The soft sound tracks of Hindi film songs by Haider Ali ji. 4. The cast and crew were outstanding. The amazing renditions of the songs by each singer. Gaurav Jain was such a welcome surprise. 5. The beautiful and artistic stage set – the huge prints of the legendary singers on one side of the wall and, of the lyricists on the other side of the stage wall.; the colors of the sofa cushions so beautiful and so were the beautiful table arrangements. In fact, I really miss this feature of appreciation of the lyricist at the very popular TV reality show, Indian Idol on Sony. Thank you for highlighting the contribution of the lyricists in Hindi Cinema. I must mention we were given good seats in the auditorium but, due to health preferences, we choose to sit at the back6. Last, but not the least, thank you for taking us back in time. I have taught Naushad Saheb's granddaughter, Nagma, at SVT College of Home Science, Juhu, Bombay. I do not know if she was Mr. Raju Naushad's daughter. Nagma would share Naushad Saheb's anecdotes with me in the class. When you put up Kishwar Jaipuri's picture on the screen, I was so nostalgic. She was in my class too. Hasrat Saheb had sent me an Urdu Primer through Kishwar. Thank you once again for the extraordinary program. Prof. Dr. Jennifer Haidar Ali Alexander, Retd. Associate Professor-Media & Education, SNDT Women's University, Mumbai and Roger Alexander

As always…wonderful. Rajiv Arora, Co-Founder, Amrapali Jewels

Hi Prithvi, Phenomenal and painstaking research; elegant presentation and mesmerising performance…a show worth travelling miles for! Many thanks to the entire Ibaadat team for bringing it to Jaipur! Dr. Sunanda Arya, Homemaker and Vinod Arya, Retd. EVP, Dahbashi Group, UAE

Dear sir, while your shows are always amazing, this one was special. A different script, a different flavour but melodies remained superb as ever. Sarvesh, Suprriya and Anand are masters of their art. The young performers too were good. Being a poet myself, I truly appreciate the underlying concept of honouring the magicians of words. I distinctly remember what Sahir used to say it with pride that his words even if sung by not so famous singers of that time and the music directors also being relatively lesser known, those songs would still be immortal. While the music and singing also has a significant role, it is the words that we connect to and remember throughout our lives. मैं अक्सर कहता हूँ कि छोटा शायर/कवि वो होता है जो आपबीती लिखता है और बड़ा शायर वो होता है जिसकी लिखी को सब अपनी आपबीती समझते हैं . All these poets have given us so much to enjoy (even if most of these have the underlying tone of sorrow) सबसे मधुर वो गीत जिन्हें हम दर्द के सुर में गाते हैं Sunil Atolia, General Manager, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. and Dr. Ranjana Jain Atolia, Retd. Prof. University of Rajasthan

Haldea ji, the program was not only extraordinary but it was more than extraordinary. Kishor Kumar Baid, Self Employed-Investments and Suman Baid, Homemaker

Respected Prithvi ji. This is the third show I have seen. The first was years back…Rooh-e-Majrooh…I was mesmerised. The Anand Bakshi show was amazing. And the Ibaadat ka Safar was too good. How the time passed, we didn't realise. Kudos to you for such beautiful compilation. It felt as if the songs and the complete journey was personally made for me. Sadhna Baid, Owner, The Storyteller Art and Rajiv Baid, Director, Polycon International Ltd.

We really loved the program. Truly mesmerizing, hats off to your sincere and best efforts. Dr. Vijaya Bhambhani and Dr. Pran Bhambhani, Bhivani Eye Hospital

As usual, it was a thrilling performance. We enjoyed every moment. The artistes had such melodious voices that one may mistake as if Lata ji or Rafi were singing. While the lyricists have a key role but ultimately the songs become big hits because of the tune set by the music director. I would therefore take the liberty of suggesting that the songs should be accompanied by background music. Pashupati Nath Bhandari, PKA Advocates/IAS, Retd. Chairman & MD, RIICO and Dr. Kaushalya Bhandari, Retd. Principal, Subodh Post Graduate Mahila Vidhyalaya

It is always an honor for me to represent my Daddy in any way possible. and you help to enhance his image more so than anyone else Prithvi ji. So, thank you for your passion, and for giving so much relevance to lyricists. Prithviji…Someone should propose your name for any and every book of records on earth that feature music as a part of its pages! The next contender for longitude of doing stage shows only on lyricists will not even show up as 1 year of programs! Your achievement will be a hands down, unanimous decision in your favour.

Cheers to entire team, headed by Sri Prithvi sir. क्या program था! Ashok Kumar Gupta, Retd. Sr. Manager, Hindalco Industries Ltd. and Shubha Gupta, Homemaker

The evening was far more than a musical programme; it was a graceful tribute to the timeless legacy of nine of India's greatest lyricists. Through a beautiful blend of authentic storytelling, evocative narration and soulful music, Ibaadat Foundation created an experience that was both intellectually enriching and emotionally moving. What stood out was the meticulous research and authenticity of the presentation. The narration of lesser-known episodes from the lives of these legendary poets, especially in the presence of their close family members, added rare credibility, warmth and emotional depth. The rendition of their immortal songs by talented singers beautifully complemented the narrative, bringing alive the creative genius and human side of these literary icons. Ibaadat Foundation deserves heartfelt appreciation for conceiving and presenting such a meaningful cultural initiative with scholarship, artistic excellence and sensitivity. In an age of fleeting entertainment, this programme reaffirmed the enduring power of poetry and music. I sincerely hope this remarkable endeavour continues to inspire audiences across the country.

आदरणीय पृथ्वी जी, सबसे पहले आपको और आपकी पूरी टीम को इस लाजवाब और दिलनशीं महफ़िल के लिए तहेदिल से मुबारकबाद. वाक़ई, बहुत अरसे बाद इतनी ख़ूबसूरत, पुरकैफ़ और मालूमाती संगीत संध्या में शामिल होने का मौक़ा मिला. गीतों के साथ उनसे जुड़ी दिलचस्प बातें सुनकर महफ़िल का लुत्फ़ कई गुना बढ़ गया. हर प्रस्तुति बेहद उम्दा और क़ाबिल-ए-दाद थी. मैं स्वयं भारतीय शास्त्रीय संगीत का विद्यार्थी हूँ और समय-समय पर संगीत के कार्यक्रमों के आयोजन से भी जुड़ा रहता हूँ. शायद इसी वजह से आपकी प्रस्तुति की बारीकियों, अनुशासन और संगीत के प्रति समर्पण को महसूस कर पाया. पूरी महफ़िल सचमुच क़ाबिल-ए-दाद थी. दुआ है कि आपकी महफ़िलें यूँ ही संगीत प्रेमियों के दिलों को सुकून और ख़ुशी बख़्शती रहें. सादर Dr. Sankalp Prakash Kulshreshta, Private Secretary to Addl. Chief Secretary, Skills, Department of Skills, Employment & Entrepreneurship and Dr. Sugandha Kulshrestha, Professor, S.S. Jain Subodh College

Your script writing as always was well chosen...but if I can be really honest...this time it took off very well, weaving a sequential story telling. Overall...a wonderful evening really well spent... वो 2.5 घंटे कहां निकल गए पता ही नहीं चला. ये दिल मांगे more. Sanjay Mundel, Interior Designer

आपके कार्यक्रम भारतीय फ़िल्मों के उत्कृष्ट शायरों को समर्पित, उनके उत्कृष्ट गीतों की मधुर और सुहानी यादों को ताजा कर देती है. उनकी अमूल्य, कलात्मक रचनाओं को जिस आत्मीयता के साथ आप जीवंत करते हैं, वह सचमुच अद्भुत है. आपकी विशिष्ट drawing room संवाद शैली इन प्रस्तुतियों को और भी अधिक आत्मीय एवं रोचक बना देती है. आपके मार्गदर्शन में आपकी पूरी टीम के प्रतिभाशाली कलाकारों का मंत्रमुग्ध कर देने वाला प्रदर्शन हर कार्यक्रम को अविस्मरणीय बना देता है. आपको और आपकी टीम को बहुत-बहुत बधाई और साधुवाद, हल्दियाजी. Shashi Kumari Rathore, Homemaker

Ibaadat shows are a glowing tribute to the great shaayars - the doyens of Indian films' poetry, bringing to life their invaluable creations. Presented in your inimitable drawing-room dialogues format makes them so endearing. Rich in content (an outcome of dedicated and regular research), these are masterly presentations, truly impressive. The enthralling and mesmerising performance by the wonderful artistes of your team, under your creative and artistic guidance, makes them so memorable. Vikram Singh Rathore, Retd. Executive Director, Small Industries Development Bank of India

The show was amazing. You directed it so well. I really want to acknowledge that instead of keeping plastic bottles on stage you kept copper jugs and glasses…a good practice for saving environment. Bhumika Rawat, Founder, Mitaali Collectives Foundation-NGO

Ibaadat-a celebration where music meets memory, and poetry finds its rightful reverence. For me and my wife Latika, this annual Jaipur evening is not just an event; it is a ritual we await with genuine anticipation. What sets Ibaadat apart is not merely it's concept, but the quiet rigor behind it. The depth of research, the thoughtful curation, and the seamless, innovative presentation and all this bears the unmistakable imprint of Prithvi Haldea and his extraordinarily committed team. This is not entertainment assembled for applause; it is a labor of devotion, executed with discipline and heart. This year's anniversary edition was particularly evocative, a tribute to nine towering legends: Majrooh Sultanpuri, Shakeel Badayuni, Shailendra, Gopaldas Neeraj, Rajendra Krishan, Hasrat Jaipuri, Sahir Ludhianvi, Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, and Anand Bakshi. More than a tribute, it felt like a living archive - an elegant journey through the soul of Hindi cinema's golden lyrical era, and a nostalgic reflection of the nine editions that came before. To sustain such artistic integrity over 15 years, across 77 shows in 9 cities, is no small feat. It demands vision, endurance, and a team that believes as deeply as its creator. Every detail, every transition, every note on that stage speaks of collective dedication. Prithvi, your passion has not only endured, in fact, it has elevated Ibaadat into an institution. And behind you stands a team whose quiet excellence deserves equal applause. We don't just admire Ibaadat, we cherish it. Dr. Neeraj Rawat, President, Speeak and Latika Rawat, Member, Speeak

Threats = 1) Your format is being copied by similar event organizers. I have sent you our donation. Rajan Kumar Sanghi, Director, Shri Krsna Urja Projects Pvt. Ltd. and Shashi Sanghi

I attended the show with my parents and it was pretty awesome! It is clear that your team put in a lot of effort in the research and curating the program with such an intriguing format. I, albeit only 19, have loved vintage Bollywood for as long as I can remember. The depth in the lyrics and these poets' art is worth exploring, so thank you for doing what you do. It was an amazing experience; I especially loved the shaayari in between the songs. I had a wonderful time! Shubhi Saxena, Student, University of Rajasthan

कार्यक्रम की उच्च गुणवत्ता, उस पर उम्दा शायरी के साथ साथ गीतों का तालमेल बिठाना और सही समय पर प्रारंभ कर, सही समय पर खत्म करना सराहनीय है. मैं अंत में कहूंगी- अद्भुत कला का परिचय! Vandana Saxena, Homemaker

Must congratulate to you Prithvi. It was my first experience of Ibaadat and I am glad that I went. The presentation, the choreography, the singing and the asides on the poets and shaayars made it memorable. Must point out that the excessive enthusiasm of some members of the audience, keen to display their knowledge of the words and worse their singing prowess was a bit of a dampener. But overall, a worthwhile experience. Harsh Sethi, Ex Consulting Editor, Seminar/Consultant, Business India and Vimala Ramachandran Sethi, Retd. MD, ERU Consultants Pvt. Ltd.

It was great! Absolutely mesmerising. No words to show my happiness. May god give you a healthy, long life with lots of energy and peace. Kalpana Sethi, Founder, Kalpyog Homestay (Airbnb)/ Yoga Teacher-Studio/Online

The entire presentation was beyond comparison; evident in the seamless execution, brilliant song selection, and profound respect for the original artists.

Compliments on a very successful 15 years of Ibaadat... admire your passion and rigor... wishing many more successful years ahead. Rashesh Shah, Chairman & CEO, Edelweiss Financial Services Ltd.

I have known Prithvi and his whole team for almost 15 years now. And, I, absolutely love Urdu poetry, but more than that, my love of Urdu poetry began because of the greats that we just heard today—whether it's Majrooh Sultanpuri or Sahir Ludhianvi and so many countless, lyricists... you can't call them lyricists, they are poets. And, they have kept our culture, our heritage alive, and listeners like you, have also helped in this process. So, it is my absolute privilege to be associated with Prithvi and Ibaadat. Vidya Shah, Executive Chairperson & Chief Executive Officer, Edelgive Foundation

The timeless poetry of Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, Rajinder Krishan, Gopaldas 'Neeraj', Shakeel Badayuni, Hasrat Jaipuri, Anand Bakshi, Sahir Ludhianvi, Shailendra, and Majrooh Sultanpuri continues to breathe life into our hearts.

आदरणीय हल्दिया साहब, प्रणाम. आपके कार्यक्रम में सपरिवार शामिल होने का अवसर नहीं, सौभाग्य मिला. मैं आपका, इबादत का एक मुरीद हूँ, सबसे पहले आपका और टीम इबादत का सबका हृदय से आभार और अभिनंदन, जो लीग से हटकर अपने तरीके का शायरी, गीत, संगीत और किस्सों का कार्यक्रम पेश कर रहे हैं. सरल, सादगी और अपनत्व से भरपूर आडम्बर रहित, समय सीमा में संपन्न कार्यक्रम. आपकी तारीफ़ और आपकी मेहनत के लिए शब्द नहीं हैं. समापन के बाद आप सहज और स्नेह भाव से सबके अभिवादन का उत्तर दे रहे थे... ये आपका जुड़ाव और प्रेम और कमाई है. सादर शुभकामनाएं, स्नेह बनाए रखें, सुहृदयी. Sunil Kumar Verma, Superintendent, Customs & CGST, Govt. of India, MOF, DOR, CBIC and Pushpa Verma, Homemaker

Dear Shri Prithvi Haldea Ji, Ibaadat Ka Safar was so well conceptualised and perfectly executed. We fall short of proper words to describe the quality and the standard of the presentation, as it was exceptionally high. Still, I would like to mention a few points. Selection of songs and the way they were introduced. The research work was carried out and so seamlessly connected (though I am sure it required significant prior effort). All the singers performed at their best. Obaid Azmi's shaayari always enhances the program's quality, and it did so again this time. You and Nandita Ji did exceedingly well, which reflects your love and knowledge of poetry and your commitment to presenting the most complex concepts in the easiest possible way. Alas, we do not have such wonderful educators in our educational institutions who not only teach but also entertain. Do not bother about seating arrangements as long as punctuality is maximised and formalities are minimised. Bikram S. Yadav, Principal, Delhi Public School, Jodhpur and Sangeeta Yadav, Retd. Head Mistress, Delhi Public School, Jodhpur
