I have known Salim Bukhari since he was editor of Zahid Malik’s Pakistan Observer. More than 25 years back. He is quite an innocent person. Believes passionately in his righteousness. Loves the sound of his voice. May in the end be consumed by his own wrath. Hundred % genuine.

Shakespeare undoubtedly is the greatest poet/ dramatist of all times. But as purely a poet Marlowe stands taller. Poetry of both his masterpieces DR FAUSTUS & TAMERLAINE THE GREAT is simply unparalleled.
