Absolutely true! "Jai Ho" or "Tujhse Naraz Nahi Zindagi" – you can feel the human heart in every line. Technology is a tool, but the soul of poetry? That's uniquely human. Great to see Subhash Ghai highlighting this.

While I respect the sentiment, I think we shouldn't completely dismiss AI. It can be a starting point for inspiration. But yes, the final magic, the *jhankaaar* that Gulzar saab brings, that is irreplaceable.

As someone who studied literature, this resonates deeply. Gulzar's work is a masterclass in weaving simple words into profound meaning. Introducing poetry classes in schools is such a valuable initiative by Ghai.

Two legends of Indian cinema! Gulzar saab's shayari is like a gentle rain that nourishes the mind. No machine can replicate the feeling you get from "Humko Mann Ki Shakti Dena". Beautiful article.

The picture of him with plants says it all. His art is organic, grown from patience and observation of life. A much-needed reminder in our fast-paced, tech-driven world. More power to such wisdom!
