"Pandit Kishan Maharaj, it is indeed sorrel for me to think that he is no more. My association with him goes back five decades from our first concert together in Varanasi in 1963. He was a dear friend to me and a Tabla player with whom I have shared some of the most memorable concerts on my life especially when I was in my twenties. He was the last remaining Tabla player who had performed not just with Amaan, Ayaan and I but also with my father Ustad Haafiz Ali Khan. Three generations of my family! I miss him no end and the time and years that I have spent with him with remain in my heart for eternity". - PathmaVibhushan Usthad Amjad Ali Khan
