Anant was a fifteen-year-old boy, living in a village named Gaganpur with his sister and 
parents. Very active in his youth, he was a good athlete, the best table tennis player, 
could play the sitar very well, and had even been composing his own tunes. Without 
warning, he was struck with cancer and came to Mumbai for treatment. Then one day, 
his sister read in the newspaper that Pandit Ravi Shankar would be performing at the 
Shanmukhananda auditorium. It was his earnest desire to watch the performance, but 
due to his sickness, his mother forbade him. Finally, his sister, in a very daring move, 
went to the concert and after the concert had ended, went backstage and requested 
Pandit Ravi Shankar to come to their home and play for her brother. The great 
generous maestro along with Ustad Allah Rakha agreed and did exactly that. As the 
beautiful soulful music wafted around the room where Anant lay, Anant breathed his 
last.
