On March 13th 2007, when my father Ap. Shreethar hosted a unique show on Ustad Dr. Zakir Hussain, titled 'Zakir Hussian in my Dreams" which was inaugurated by the Maestro himself in Chennai. Jointly I exhiited my abstract strokes on ustadji and our Tabela Maestro appreciated my paintings. He autographed them. When I showed my 1st International Award for my painting he showed it to all and gave his blessings. After that I have never missed to meet him during his visits to Chennai for consorts.
During one such occassion I showed him my next award "Youngest Corel Certified Designer", again he showed to all his fans in his green room and congratulated me. He is a great musician and a humble Person. I love Zakirji. I consider that I am very fortunate to pay tribute to him by my drawing. I admire his humility and thank him very for his encouragement
