Two Tales of My Times presents for the first ever time, two of Gulzar’s most thought provoking and hard-hitting film scripts, New Delhi Times and Maachis, in the form of a narrative. Presented in the form of a story, these scripts do not delineate from the original films. New Delhi Times takes an in-depth look at the politically corrupt system that permeates the lives of ordinary people who, in many ways, are unable to struggle against it. Maachis explores the terrorism that corroded Punjab following the assassination of a former prime minister, and the boys and girls who were drawn into the movement, many of whom were too young to comprehend its mission. About the Author Gulzar, the famous director and writer, who is known both for his sensitivity and simplicity, received much critical acclaim for both the films. Whether he is conjuring up exquisite lyrics, authoring delectable screen plays or directing profoundly moving celluloid odes, Gulzar, peerless poet, sensitive writer and outstanding filmmaker, is a consummate master of his craft. The world that the man behind the genius inhabits is as magical as his inimitable creative output. He has several books to his credit which include highly acclaimed poetry and short story anthologies including Silences, Raat Pashmine Ki, Autumn Moon, Raavi PaarandOther Stories amongst  others.
