NOT LYRICAL

2025-05-18
Indian lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar has a big mouth with a lot of hot air always coming out of it. He doesn`t weigh his words before uttering them. His rabid tirade against Pakistan in the wake of the Pahalgam attack caused a great deal of concern on our side of the Wagah border. Artists and poets in particular took to social media to suggest that Javed A has gone absolutely senile. As it is, he is a middling poet and a so-so writer, and when he speaks he goes a notch or two down the mediocre path to hit rock-bottom. It would be better if he stayed at rock-bottom. He belongs there.
