    Bollywood by Gulzar finds special place in Delhi’s literary festival

    NEW DELHI: Delhi’s own literary festival Spring Fever 2012 this year attracted special participation from Bollywood.

    The third annual literature festival of Penguin Books concluded on a high note in the evening with the legendary veteran poet and lyricist Gulzar reading out his best poems from his recently launched book ‘Neglected Poems‘.

    “Epics may seem distant from our modern-day lives, but that is not right. After Pawan wrote this episode from the Mahabharat in relevance with people`s lives today, I realised it should reach out to more people,” he said.

    “Translations are very important these days, since an average person can only know two to three languages. We have so many languages in India and poems are being written in as many of them. Also, a translator should be well-versed in both languages, the original and the one in which he is translating,” he added.

    Penguin Spring Fever 2012 also saw the participation of authors like Anupam Kher and Raghav Bhal.

    The topics covered during the ten day festival varied from ‘Sex and romance outside the bedroom‘ to the ‘New Indian Consumer‘.

    A unique Bollywood quiz was held with a special round on superstar Rajnikanth, apart from performances by bands like Faridkot, Vedas and Qawwali.
