How to love a language: Urdu poet Gulzar Dehlvi spills his literary secrets
A Kashmiri Pandit poet talks about a lifetime spent in nurturing something that gave him comfort and identity — Urdu.
Pandit Anand Mohan Zutshi Gulzar Dehlvi walks into the living room of his home in Noida, wearing a white sherwani-churidar, Nehru topi and a pearl chain with two lockets — one of Krishna and one with aayats of the Quran on it. He is frail, he is over 90. But once he starts talking, the practised performer, who has mesmerised millions at mushairas and nashists (literary meets) for seven decades, takes over. The voice is strong and his memory, razor sharp.
