Gulzar in Japan

Gulzar is a successful Bollywood director. He is also equally successful song writer and many of his songs have become super hits. He considers himself a poet of Urdu language but unlike Javed Akhtar he has little recognition in Urdu literary circles.

News of Gulzar reciting his Urdu poems to Japanese audience is very encouraging because most of us have tough time understanding him.

If you study carefully, his songs have fanciful arrangement of words but lack any meaning or totally nonsensical... but yes, they sound great!

From this same news report:

People are constantly calling up to know what I mean by ose (dewdrop) mein gholi mint ki goli. They want to know, why mint? I've no answer.

but we have lots of questions.
