Kamleshwar
Noted Hindi writer Kamleshwar died last week.
From Gulzar’s tribute:
Kamleshwar’s scenes and descriptions were so visual that many a times, I was compelled to make an entire film merely after reading one line. I remember when I was reading one of his most recent and beautiful works, Kitne Pakistan, I had underlined so many sentences that were potential short stories or film material. There is a description where a handkerchief falls off the bridge; I always used to tell him that I could write a complete short story on this one line only.
