He remains as popular today, and as sensitive a chronicler of our emotions, as he was over half a century ago. In this book of conversations with the acclaimed author and documentary filmmaker Nasreen Munni Kabir, Gulzar speaks about the making of his most enduring songs—from ‘Mora gora ang lai le’ (<i>Bandini</i>; 1963) and ‘Dil dhoondta hai’ (<i>Mausam</i>; 1975) to ‘Jiya jale’ (<i>Dil Se</i>; 1998) and ‘Dil toh bachcha hai ji’ (<i>Ishqiya</i>; 2010). He also discusses the songs of other greats, like Shailendra and Sahir Ludhianvi; his favourite music directors, like SD and RD Burman, Hemant Kumar and AR Rahman; and playback singers like Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle, Vani Jairam, Jagjit Singh and Bhupinder Singh.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Perpetua Std", serif;"><u></u><u></u></span></p><div><span style="color: rgb(34, 30, 31);"><br></span></div>
