Business tycoon Anand Mahindra on Monday morning took to his Twitter handle to thank lyricist Gulzar for giving him the logic behind being wedded to his mobile phone. Mahindra shared a poetry written by Gulzar that said, "Khud se zyada sambhal kar rakhta hoon mobile apna, kyunki rishtey saare ab isi mein kaid hain." (In translation: More than myself, I keep my mobile safe because all our relationships are imprisoned in this gadget). Anand Mahindra further clarified in his tweet that "mobiles do help us stay connected."

GULZAR TALKS ABOUT 'FAKE' ATTRIBUTIONS

Talking to Hindustan Times recently said, "Earlier I used to say 99 per cent poems on Whatsapp posted as mine are wrongly attributed to me, but now I can say for sure that 100 per cent of them are fake. I had written a poem called ‘Adatein bhi ajeeb hoti hain’ (Habits are strange, indeed) but I would certainly not write that women are strange!"
