I am a fanboy of Gulzar's poetry, songs, films but this is first time I have read his stories. As the rating will tell you, loved these as well.
There is something about the way his stories are - smooth is not the word I would use. Part of it is the more Urdu effect which shows up not only in terms of odd unfamiliar word here and there but also in how something is put across, how sentences are constructed - "lahza" is perhaps the right word? Urdu is known for it's economy of words and you do feel at times as if you deserved few more words from the author which he quietly pocketed.
The stories also feel like glimpses. We join in at some point and leave at others with neither the formality of a welcome nor with the formality of a proper goodbye. That is the case with most of the short stories but the way Gulzar tells them, the fact is highlighted.
Incidentally, I have a personally autographed copy of this one. :)

"तजुर्बे बोले नही, बांटे नही तो क्या करे? उसी का नाम तो बुजुर्गी है!"
"थोड़ी देर के लिए जंगल में टहल जाओ, तो ख़ामोशी भी सूफियों की तरह घूमती नज़र आती है। "
बस ऐसे ही कलाबाजियों के साथ गुलज़ार साहब की कहानियाँ चलती है। शब्द है की हलके होते है, बाते है वो गहरी होती है!

Books take you places. In this book's case, every place unimaginable if you have had a guarded normal life. It takes you to places where riots happened, in the times when it happened, and makes you sink deep in the skin of one who is running for his life, feel their fears, their helplessness.
It takes you to footpath, makes you live the life of his characters have lived, for a while after you've finished the story, and it is still looming over your head and as you come back to your senses you feel thankful, you do not belong to that kind of life. That it is just a short story, reality of someone else's life may be, but not yours.
It takes you to the last day of a suicide bomber, her anguish, her restlessness, moment of fear and then the moment of victory of her fear, the moment of finality. She had to constantly remind herself that for her, there was no tomorrow.
It gives you glance inside a person's thoughts who lay in the rubble of earthquake stricken area.
It took me to the day Sahir Ludhianvi died.
It also took me to all the places I have recently been to. Devprayag, Anandprayag, Rudraprayag. Joshimath. Gulzar and me were travelling together now. I was watching uttarakhand from his eyes. The roads, the mountains, the sky, and snake like river followed us everywhere.
This book is quite a journey!

Another classic short stories by Gulzar

Colloquial, conversational Hindi used by Gulzar in his stories makes the situation come alive, though it may mot pass muster with a Hindi grammar teacher. Varied collection.

बेहतरीन! दस पन्नों में आपको एक ऐसी कहानी मिल जायेगी जो लगेगा पता नहीं कितनी सदियों से खुद पर बीत रही है। किन शब्दों में गुलज़ार साहब की तारीफ करें। शायद कभी खुद ही बता दें।
