105,821 items / 686,170 views

This was shot last week, at the Makhdoom Shah Baba Urus and I wore this kaftan after a very long time, I am trying very hard to complete my backlog of the Urus pictures and other miscellaneous stuff..I have perhaps another 5 GB card to upload..

My dress code has already changed since yesterday I will only wear black for 2 month eight days till Moharam ends.

I spoke to Marziya she is enjoying her train trip to Lucknow...

I wont be shooting Moharam in Mumbai so lets see which city in India I end up in..certainly not Lucknow.

Whichever city I go I will be barefeet till my return the next day after Ashura.

Where Will I Be This Ashura I Do Not Know

a call from a bereaved mother
I shall go carrying her hanky
on which her tears flow
where will I be this Ashura
I do not know
towards the shores
of sorrow
I flow
like the winds I blow
a dagger in my hand
a camera in my soul
although
wading through
rivulets of blood
to and fro
barefeet blogger

a belief
a pledge

The Beauty of the Hijab

lies in humility
in the eyes of the beholder
a garb of modesty
a spiritual adornment
as the soul gets young
while the body gets older
a message of peace
her mother told her
