Talking about Gulzar, he told us ,”It is all about your thoughts. I have experienced this; it is not about keeping yourself abreast with changing times. He (Gulzar) defines time, he’s the one who writes time for you.”
“I have a special term for his (Gulzar’s) work, which is Gulzariya. There is no past, present and future for Gulzar - he is eternal. I always believe that we don’t grow old but we become a victim of age. A 20-year-old might not be as active as a 70-year-old.”
