A Tribute
A legend passes on.
A combination of enthusiasm, integrity, zest, humour, and dedication to a cause which benefits society, are qualities rarely found today. If words can briefly describe Navjeevan Khosla – then these are a few.
We the beneficiaries of his efforts are fortunate to enjoy the aesthetic experience of the purity of Hindustani classical music which he dearly loved and promoted through INT Chandigarh. Direct and forthright in his manner, he tolerated no populist approach to please others at the cost of diluting the purity of tradition in music.
This tireless effort and zeal drew the best of names across the country who sought a platform here in Chandigarh, some even before they reached the heights of fame in their respective fields.
INT is the beneficiary of his intense guidance and also his magnanimity in leaving a personal sum for this cause.
Navli Uncle as he was known to most, loved people and conversation. Exuding warmth and
hospitality to both young and old alike drew many into his fold of friendship.
The legacy he leaves behind, is to be treasured and preserved. It would be a worthy tribute if lovers of classical music unite in ensuring the continuum of this tradition, just as he would have wished
