Pluto

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.
