His writing has the depth and breadth that few …

Gulzar, the modern day bard has songs (and stories and dialogues) for all occasions. Few others can speak of ardent love with such brevity-“Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa to nahi…” or be in sync with the rhythms of a playful child, “Sare ke Sare Gama ko le kar…” or my personal favorite- an apt comment on the human condition- “Goli maro bheje mein,…

Kindness is a two way street. There is an unsaid hierarchy in any act of kindness- the kind person a few notches above the person on the receiving end of the gesture. And yet that gesture has the power to transform both equally. To love another can sometimes open a door that was long shut tight in our own hearts. ------------ भीष्म साहनी का जीवन पर…
