Bismillah Khan's feelings about

Words in the text 

1.

teaching children music

With the coveted award resting on his chest and his eyes glinting with rare happiness he said, All I would like to say is: Teach your children music, this is Hindustan's richest tradition; even the West is now coming to learn our music.

2.

the film world

 Just cant come to terms with the artificiality and glamour of the film world, he says with emphasis.

3.

migrating to the U.S.A

But Khansaab asked him if he would be able to transport River Ganga as well. Later he is remembered to have said, That is why whenever I am in a foreign country, I keep yearning to see Hindustan.

4.

playing at temples

Ustad Bismillah Khan's life is a perfect example of the rich, cultural heritage of India, one that effortlessly accepts that a devout Muslim like him can very naturally play the shehnai every morning at the Kashi Vishwanath temple.

5.

getting the Bharat Ratna

With the coveted award resting on his chest and his eyes glinting with rare happiness.

6.

the banks of the Ganga

and the banks of the Ganga became the young apprentice's favourite haunts where he could practise in solitude.

7.

leaving Benaras and Dumraon

That is why whenever I am in a foreign country, I keep yearning to see Hindustan. While in Mumbai, I think of only Benaras and the holy Ganga. And while in Benaras, I miss the unique mattha of Dumraon.
