We are glad to have Ashu, our collaborator from the Hindi Lyrics section, in the Hindi Cinema blog team. She is a fervent admirer of Gulzar's work and has written an introduction to the talented poet's life. Welcome to HCB, Ashu. It is our privilege to have someone as gifted with words collaborating with us.
As the world sang Jai ho and applauded the might of Indian film music… as AR Rahman accepted the much deserved Oscars followed by the Grammies… as millions of people watched this moment with pride…there was one hero of this success story that was missing from the limelight. One of the song writers of this song, which has become a rage world wide…Gulzar.
