On 22 August, in his hometown, Mumbai, we will celebrate the work of one of India's pre-eminent literary figures, Gulzar, who was recently bestowed with the Jnanpith Award, the country's highest literary honour.
Gulzarsaab is a recipient of the Padma Bhushan, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, an Oscar, a Grammy, and now the Jnanpith -- a unique set of awards no one else has won.
HarperCollins is privileged to publish several books by Gulzar -- including his translations of Tagore, A Poem a Day, which features his translations of the work of 279 poets writing in 34 languages, and a volume of his collected poems, Baal-o-Par.
