Heard the other day that tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain's contemplating to bid adieu to the percussion instrument and the world of classical music.

Now, irrespective of whether you are a classical music lover or not, there cannot be a more shocking news. After all, he was one of our most well-known faces in the global music scene. His aides say that he's upset over the growing commercialisation of music and that's forcing him to quit. And then, a nagging pain in his fingers is making things difficult. Stay on Ustad, please.
