Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam

In one of the memoirs, Shabana Azmi wrote for The Wire, she remembers, "He had started writing lyrics for films and one day a friend of mine said that her father had read my father’s name in the newspaper. That did it! I owned him up at once! Of all the forty children in my class, only my father’s name had appeared in the newspaper! I perceived his being ‘different’ as a virtue for the first time. I need no longer feel apologetic about his wearing a kurta-pyjama!"
