First of all, let me apologise for disappearing last week. Life was suddenly very hectic and I was quietly going mad (given how often most of us declare that we’re going mad because we have so much work, we should all be in an asylum by now).

Undoubtedly, the two most celebrated contemporary lyricists in Bollywood are Gulzar and Javed Akhtar. But though each one has written many wonderful songs, who’s the better / greater of the two?
