Not every student wants the stage. And not every great player ends up on one.
In this episode, Ritesh Das reflects on a quieter kind of journey in the world of tabla—one not measured by applause or public recognition. Through personal stories from Kolkata, Toronto, and decades of teaching, he honours the students who showed up week after week, not for performance, but for depth. Mothers who watched. Adults who played after work. Disciples who returned after years away. Each brought sincerity—not ambition—and still carried something lasting.
This is not about who got famous. It’s about who stayed true.
