Young singer Javed Ali, who has crooned numbers like 'Guzarish' ('Ghajini'), 'Arziyan' ('Delhi 6') and 'Jashn-e-bahaara' ('Jodha Akhbar') resonates similar feelings.

'I will gift my teacher my dedication and lifelong commitment to music. Anything else will be too small,' he said.

Sarod player Amaan Ali Khan, who is the son of sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, wants to do something very different.

'Till date I have not been able to make a raga, which will be the best gift to give my teacher since that will show that I have followed his teachings well. Making good compositions are the best gift I can give to my teacher. It's far from materialistic things, but I know that's something that will make him immensely happy,' Amaan told IANS.

But musicians like Annu Malek and Raghav Sachchar have a different plan - while the former would love to give financial aid to his teacher, the latter wants to gift his teacher an Iphone so that he can listen to music anytime.

'I read an article that said a few students in Chennai got together and contributed money to buy a house for their teacher. I would like to financially help my teachers, if they need any such help,' said Malek

Sachchar said: 'I want to buy an Iphone so that my teacher can listen to his favourite music any time and I can be in touch with him at all the time.'
