Why The Fuck Should I Go To Worli Seaface If I Can Shoot The Rains In My Backyard


shoot kids
jumping cavorting
as the waves hits
their face at
worli seaface
their wet sticky
bodies minds
out of space
drunken dilemma
a monsoonal phase
i shoot subtlety
i shoot simplicity
i shoot grace
i shoot old
dying bandra
tears rolling
down the walls
sadness embrace
pain on the surface
the ageless gaothans
the east indians
or the new migrants
usurped heritage
fuck who do
i praise

Nobody Whether Rich Poor Or Middle Class Can Say He Is Happy In Mumbai



earlier
people
were happy
taken care of
things have changed
now the system
of corruption says
please fuck off
for every facility
you pay a bribe
before you tick off
the police look
the other way ..
from the people
their sufferings
miseries totally
cutoff .. after
taking our
votes getting
the chair
ministerji
has completely
forgotten us
political rip off
democracy
demystified
the only
protection
is for those
well off
the rest
of the janta
just write off

Nimbu Mirchi Totka Is A Cottage Industry Of The Mumbai Poor

Nimbu Mirchi Totka Is A Cottage Industry Of The Mumbai Poor by firoze shakir photographerno1

Alakshmi - The Goddess of Poverty And Poor 
She prefers bitter and base things and she is offered lime and chilies to keep her from entering business premises offices and shops 

So at Kalbadevi Zaveri Bazar areas you will find this totka in heavy demand and at Bandra Hill road a family makes them and it is distributed at traffic signals for cabs , rickshas and private vehicles..


I dont know what effect the Superstition bill will have on them.. they are fulfilling a traditional ancient demand , I am sure even political offices of netas have this totka,, only godmen dont need totkas.. 

We Are Indians - A Thought That Cant Be Watered Down


we need
water
for natures
call ,..we
waste water
leaving the tap
open in the sink
we need water
to cook
we need water
to bathe to drink
if not our bodies
our surroundings
stink..booze
like thirsty fishes
we over drink
our rupee
drowning
i think
our soul
to the devil
of a dollar
we link
luckily
we have
mr raghuram
rajan aka
ranbir kapoor
of banking
to save us from
the brink..
we form
a government
when our finger
is shoved into
indelible ink..

Gandu Tu Bhi Ek Din Meri Tarah Bhik Mange Ga ..


nahi bawa
teri tarah
bhik mangna
nahi padega
teri tarah raste
par nahi sadega

shyana bankar
peda khata hoon
baki doston ko
bhi khilata hoon
bhoja uthata hoon
hijdon ke hotel
tak pahunchata hoon
khub paisa kamata hoon
rubab se din bitata hoon


The street urchins of Ajmer are a unique blend of survival they come from far off villages of UP , most of them work at tea stalls , but the smarter ones hang around Moti Katla where the hijras stay , most of them are masseurs , most of them do odd jobs for the hijras ,and they get best of food and comfort ,, sleeping in the courtyards ,many are adopted by the hijras and become their companions and toy boys at an early age ..
I have shot a lot of these boys those without direction work as pick pocketeers , petty thieves , and most of them start smoking doping .. and this vagrant ones sit with the bawas do their jobs .. errands etc..

Life is very harsh bleak, this vagrant type have a lot of options .. some of them grow their hair , and later become bawas too..

There are good kids too ,, but near Ajmer station you can see all this during Urus time ,,I have documented Ajmer street life extensively,,

Bandra Back Lanes Nostalgia And The Rains

किसको सुनाऊं हाल दिल-ऐ-बेकरार का बुझता हुआ चराग हूँ अपने मज़ार का

ऐ काश भूल जाऊं मगर भूलता नहीं
किस धूम से उठा था जनाज़ा बहार का
ये दुनिया ये महफिल..

The Muslim Beggar Got A Raw Deal From God

तू मिला है तो ये एहसास हुआ है मुझको ये मेरी उम्र मोहब्बत के लिए थोड़ी है

एक ज़रा सा ग़म-इ-दौरान का भी हक है जिस पर
मैंने वो सांस भी तेरे लिए रख छोड़ी है
तुझ पे हो जाऊँगा कुर्बान तुझे चाहूँगा
मैं तो मरकर भी मेरी जान तुझे चाहूँगा

Mr Mukesh Tiwari



Mr Mukesh Tiwaris look in China Gate was fleshed by me sartorially , on a brief given by Mr Raj Kumar Santoshi , the brief was very simple ,, dont go on Mukeshjis looks or size he should be made larger than life he is an explosive actor,, he will take care of his character mannerisms histrionics etc.. China Gate was a challenging film with challenging characters and Mukesh Tiwari swept them away with his mind blowing performance ,,

Wikipedia
