Gulzar on A conversation, a new track where he answers questions raised by Rabindranath Tagore to an imaginary poet reading his work in this day and age

Rabindranath Tagore and Gulzar
Musician duo Sourendra-Soumyajit has employed technology to bring veteran lyricist Gulzar before the revered late poet Rabindranath Tagore to answer questions raised by the latter. Aimed at showcasing a conversation between the two legends, the video shows Gulzar respond to Tagore, who, a century ago, was eager to know if a poet was reading his work.
Sourendra-Soumyajit reveal that it was Gulzar who invited them to create something together. “Rabindranath’s 100-year old poem was penned keeping an unknown and imaginary poet in mind; one who is reading his work after a century. This was [evidently] an artistic urge to understand his relevance after 100 years. We decided that Gurudev should find the answer to this question through Gulzar saab, who has recited this poem himself.”
