Gulzar's new story collection "Bosky ka Panchtantra" is a set of 5 different books comprising of stories from Panchtantra. The stories are from Panchtantra but the words are of Gulzar. These stories were not written but told. Narrated to his daughter Bosky, when she was a kid. The set contains 5 famous stories.

1. Ek Chooran Sampooran
2. Jhooth Ke Jal Gaye Dono Paanv
3. Gadha, Uff, Bada Hi Gadha Hai
4. Haath Lagi Halwe Ki Haandi
5. Tukde Tukde Jod Ke

If you are already a fan of Gulzar's work for the kids (like me) "Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai", "A-aa-ee-ee Master Ji Ki aa gayi chitthi", these stories are for you no matter you are 8 or 80. The set is published by Radhakrishna Prakashan, New Delhi.

The stories eventhough heard and read many times before, has a feel of freshness, supported by nice illustrations (although the illustration printing quality is not as good). Get the set for your kids (you can also enjoy the stuff). Send your comments on the set to gulzarfan@rajasthan.net

Ek Baangi Pesh Hai:

Sher ne apni aankhe kholi, Zor Zor se ki hukaar, saans bhari
Charon or ghumayi gardan, Dekha, uske saamne teeno aadam hain
Aadamkhor us sher ke moonh mein paani aaya
Zabda khol ke jor se ik dahaad lagaai, dekhte dekhte kha gaya teeno yaaron ko

Chauthe ko behoshi ki-si haalat mein, Dooje din kuchh logon ne jungle mein paaya
Wapis uske gaanv talak pahunchane aaye. Hosh mein aake poochha ek brihman ne
to Chautha bola:

"Taaqat Jisko Tod Na Ho
Shakti Jo Apni Shakti Se Jyada Ho
Atom Bomb Ho Ya Ho Sher
Jab Bhi Wo Ijaad Karoge, Naash Karegi
Gyan Ki Shakti Maanta Hoon
Shakti Ka Gyan Zaroori Hai"
