Pluto lost its status as a planet only recently. Seeing Pluto sad on being rejected thus, my heart sinks. It is so far away, so tiny, so all my teeny-weeny poems.
I gift to it, says Gulzar. In this wonderful collection of short poems, Gulzar addresses his pet themes relationships, God or his absence, nature and the nature of time itself, with characteristic wit and brevity. Beautifully rendered into English by Nirupama Dutt, this is a collection to savour and treasure.
