Dear Photo Journalists of Mumbai Eid Is More Than A Hug




year after year
eid after eid
you shoot
the same thing
a thought
alarming
going round
round the same
cosmic ring
editorial
demands
to old hackneyed
things you cling
 shoot change
shoot beggars
 hugging on eid
 a new hope bring
a hindu muslim
on the same swing
send a message
home to state
engineered riot
ridden right
wings that
peace is
an indian
thing
send a
message
to mr akhilesh
mr azam khan
mr mulayam singh
that playing with
human lives at
the expense of
ministerial
trappings
is not
acceptable
unpardonable
thing.. we
protest
as photographers
as photo bloggers
of the silence
of another king
another singh
happy eid
to the muslims
of muzzafarnagar
where healing
starting a
new beginning
is now the only
most important
main thing

this was written during the silent regime last year but it holds for the new regime too..saharanpur  eid mubarak sorry about the curfew
