Zubin Mehta

Shri Nathji used to like Zubin Mehta orchestra music.  Shri Nathji and Priya Nath watch Zubin Mehta conducting the New York Philharmonic Orchestra on television on the night of September 12, 1984, even as they get ready for the intended trip to Mussoorie the next day.
 Shri Nathji loves to listen to orchestras and always praises their cheerful note. Shri Nathji used to recall how a band played in the Mussoorie Band Stand at Library during the days of the British and how people would stand around and listen in large numbers.
 Shri Nathji always praised the British for the cheerful manner in which they sat down to eat with an orchestra in attendance. He would compare this with the Indian habit of speaking of worrisome things while eating. This is his photo taken in 1985 about the time when Shri Nathji used to watch him on television.
