He is from Malad and he does this every year, only this time he had got the blades done the same morning from Chor Bazar..
The blades are like 3 swords on three chains.. deadly vicious.The other veterans were not happy with him as he would slow down their scourging, they had to give him space as he has to take a forward swing going backwards in motion and this could hit any guy who accidentaly came in the way of his matam.
I have seen blades of my Iranian friend Hadi but these were the largest ever seen..
This is a cordoned off area for scourging and kama matam..on the left of him kids are standing on the scaffolding watching the Juloos that I gave a miss..
