with the accursed system
of a biased social order
the hijda has lost her patience
being a hijda a hell of life
a life full of accusation
trials and privation
the hijda cocooned
in a marginalized
world of deprivation
yes society with blinkers
hates the hijda
without proper reason
stepping on their toes
without hesitation
a new world within a world
the resurgence
of a hijda nation

Hijra Hallucinations
Monday, March 30, 2009
Turner Road Traffic Signal Kid
The child in her arms is drugged , and he too works the signal from morning to evening..lunch is left overs from a nearby restaurant..
I have seen this girl grow , once she too was slung on another child's waist, this is her karma..her fate she can never escape..
Clothes that she wears are given by some kind lady..
Soon she will reach puberty its than her walk on the tight rope of life begins, the boys from her tribe will than start hounding her for their cheap thrills ...she cant escape that part of her growing up..
She was born a liability as a girl child , unprotected but for her parents she is an asset , the day she gives birth to a child, even if it is out of wedlock..
The new born child rakes in the money, is given on hire, drugged , drenched in the rains, scorched in summer..such is life on a traffic signal slow track.
Slum Dog Millionaire is an unfulfilled celluloid for the dreamless..a script of sorrow and misery and despair..
I miss the Turner Road Signal as I passed it twice as my old shop was off Waterfield Road..
Now I am away from this signal - its only the Red Light that halts cars and vehicles it is the red light that gets them their daily wages ..
And the day the signal does not work.. they curse their fate , most of the kids from her group are now at the Pamposh Signal and at the Linking Road Signal off National College.
I remember at the Khar Linking Road signal a little girl begged with a kitten clung to her waist.. she and the kitten both have disappeared..
Necessity is the mother of invention..

Hijras - The Third Sex
hijras the third sex
life as a hijra
painful and complex
untouchables
objects
treated as society’s rejects
a cause sorrow despair
as after effects
article 377 the draconian
sodomy law ..anti human
life wrecks
hijras treated as criminals
always the main suspects
the hijra a better deal
from our society expects
like in tamil nadu
free sex change
free education
right to vote
a system without any defects
Thank You
Mr Karunanidhi
People of Tamil Nadu
for all the Hijda projects
the only state in the whole of India
where the Hijra as a human being
gets his due respect

Cry

pain
on the silver screen
decked up glorified
tears
on the soul of humanity
that have scorched
all human pride
children of a lesser god
to save them hard he tried
the bleeding earth
their paradise
he came he wept
a savior crucified
with him
all their hopes
too died
a celluloid dream
taking them for
an unending ride
a beggar bowl
that lies empty
by their side

an attempt

my eternal pain
an attempt
to poetize my pain
tears on the soul of karbala
where truth was slain
so that for all eternity
Islam as Islam remain

verily a soothing
spiritual paradise
as long as evil lives
yazidiyat never dies
through bombs
suicide bombers

not peace but everlasting war

Vinayaka Restaurant Murud Janjira Beach
The white and green structure is of Vinayaka Restaurant Murud, the finest Malwani cuisine, rice thali, prawn thali ..each thali for Rs 100.
Most refreshing is the Kokam water that he serves as an appetizer..
Sunil my friend owns the restaurant and his bullock cart runs at the race on Gudi Padwa .
Normally most of the photographers of Mumbai park themselves at this open air restaurant , Sunil is very fond of me and Mr Anil Bhartiya photo journo and Guru.
The Mumbai Shadow Boxer
The race had not started , so I had my fish thali got down to the beach and shot some cray ones ,the Murud beach is very quiet, isolated and full of the sadness of the sea, provided you stay the night over, leave the next morning via Alibagh and by boat..
The long 5 hour drive by public transport from Murud to Mumbai can break any camels back and ass too..
I had once come here with my wife when my life was down the bin..we both had come here to understand the flow of our desaturated lives..
I thought of her while taking this shot, I could have darkened this image, but I decided not to play God..and represent things as they were pictorially presented to me..
The title is a dedicated to my bruther Bernie in Chicago..
And thank you Fleur you haunt me in my wildest moments..you are a ray of sunshine when the restless soul is inundated with the grim tears of emotional vacuity.
Murud is a wordless poetry time..
It was afer sometime of loneliness I was greeted by Habib Nasser my friend who had reached the Vinayka restaurant with his gang..
This broke me from the retrospective reverie of my restlessness.
I needed company too..too much of silence can drain you of all your spiritual energy..

Hijra Jogan in a Trance
one with the maker
spirituality
in every glance
hijra jogan in a trance
power nobility
humility
in every step
of the hijras dance
oneness
mindlessness
timelessness
unusual romance
Hijra Dancing Doll
at haji malang
moments to recall
the mirth the fun
the frolic of the hijra
dancing doll
on all fours she will crawl
your passions she will
stall
this hijra vampish moll
turning your soul
into a dancing hall
Nakedness of the Hijra Soul
dance is worship
says the hijra
opening her lotus lips
shaking
grooving
moving
her pendulous hips
magic at her finger tips
as the sand in the hourglass slips
the nakedness of the hijra soul rips
layers and layers as she strips
tantric sex and tricks
more beautiful
more daintier
more graceful
more sensual
than your local chic's
on your computer screen
simply with a single click
hijda eunuch blogs
as memorable remix
The Hijra Slumdog Millionaire
I thank all those who have taken pains to register and vote for me at the Photo Blog Awards 2009..
People normally dont like hijras and treat them very shabbily because of the old grand mothers tales attached to them, tales that have been overblown, hijras kidnap children , forceful castrations and what not..
5 Years of shooting the Hijra ethnicity, I found them to be amiable, congenial and friendly, maybe somewhere rude, hated me as a photographer, but I dont blame them, a lot of hIjras have been conned by journalists and coffee table book researchers.. taken to the dry cleaners..
Every student wants to do a thesis on the hijras including Mr Salman Rushdi..
After Slum Dog Millionaire a movie on the Hijras maybe on the anvil .. the Hijra Slum dog Millionaire with Mr AR Rehmans music, Frieda Pinto and the effervescent Mr Anil Kapoor ...Lovleen Tandon associate director and Mr Danny Boyle wielding the megaphone...
This would be the biggest mega hit..with Brad Pitt ,Sean Penn and Al Pacino and Robert De Niro playing stellar roles..
The heroine could be played to the hilt by Laxmi Narayan Tripathi..my Hijra Guru Supreme.
And Heena Hijra of Peela House Mumbai Cages playing second romantic lead..
Well I digress , back to the Photo Blog Awards 2009 ..I have been nominated , I have received 57 votes, but I need more votes..call it pimping for votes..if you may...but do take time to vote for me and my hijra eunuch blogs..
Now some of the comments that I have received from friends and welll wishers..but I must confess I would have never enlisted my blogs it was Magic Eye aka Deepak Ambebal who led me up the aisle..
And the blessings of my Hijra Guru Laxmi Narayan Triipathi ...and my grand daughter Marziya Shakir 15 month old.. who loves hijras more than me..

Firoze seems to have a front row seat to view the colorful lives of the Indian Hijra.
Firoze takes full advantage of that front row seat to share the love and passion that he sees.

Saffron Soul of a Shia Pandit
the flesh
blood sweat and tears
a silhouette
unevenly lit
the soul its spirituality
in orbit
weft and warp
of a fabric closely knit
the saffron soul
of a shia pandit
a cultural inheritance
totally legit
of my birth place
my mother land
I am proud of it
to fanaticism
to hate
of the human specie
my soul wont submit
my head making
a path for a razor bit
two sections
as they bleed and slit
a protest
against yazidiyat
written in blood
on the face of it
Hussain is Humanity
at the core of it
the essence of my reality
as you all know it
har kaum pukaregi hamare hain hussain
islam zinda hota hai har karbala ke bad
to yazid and the killers of imam hussain
we wont ever give a clean chit..
lanat more lanat on their souls
we admit
Marziya Learns to Write
Marziya learns to write
15 month old
like grand father
like grand daughter
genetically bold and bright
a black board that does not
overwhelm her height
she falters
but the second time
gets it right
her aunt samiya
her favorite aunt uptight
from bandra to versova
always missing the flight
Photography is an Optical Illusion
Shot by my Wife
two bald heads
spiritually conjoined
two bald heads
in a single home
in a single thought
defined
a shia pandit
one of his kind
his muse
shot by a woman
who to
photography
is color blind
a wife
a mother
a grandmother
intertwined
seamlessly
combined
all three
repositioned
on the cosmic mind
artfully by a sculptor designed
to a single flow of a blood stream
genetically aligned
My wife and I are very different we are from two different worlds.. her world is real full of pain, my world is a cybernetic utopia of words that sound like poems and pictures that read like prose

Hijra Renaissance
hijra renaissance
haji malang
drum beats and dance
hijra life to glance
hijra
a travesty of gender
luck by chance
in between two lines
a unique
unusual romance
Hijra in Red at Haji Malang
atop a drum
at haji malang
the hijda in red
high strung
the crowds
in ecstasy
shrieking
shouting
their lungs
money
excitedly
on the hijra
they flung
dance
the epitome
of the hijras
mother tongue
just rhythmic beats
lyricless rhapsody
a moment tantalizingly
unsung
For quite some time, I have not seen hijras, after Reshma Hijras wedding dance event, but for the last two days on my way to Lokhandwala Andheri, I met them yesterday at the 4 Bunglow signal and today at the 7 Bunglow signal..
And I shot their pictures I have not posted yet..hijras intrigue people, I know people who hate hijras as they would their worst enemy..and yet Hijras are human and one has to see them humanly..to understand their angst , the ambiguity of their gender..
The Hijra is born of pain..however hard he tries to impersonate a woman..he still lacks the reproductive powers of a woman..he is in a conundrum, neither man nor woman...an androgynous anomaly...stalked by a photo blogger whose soul is embedded in the microcosm of the hijras life..

Message to me from Dr Glenn Losack MD
"I wanted to take the time out to tell you how important you are to me, to my life, my work
my thoughts, my philosophy, in my fight as a complicated man in this
difficult world i live in.
I have never had someone like you in my life and i wish i had known you long ago.
Your ongoing generosity and selflessness, the attention paid to my work with such fervor and zeal
i think to a large extent has contributed to my growth as a photographer and as a human being.
I can never thank you enough.
I only hope you and I remain connected as we have been for many years to come.
It brings me to tears all the attention you have shown me, the kindness you bestow upon me, the time and effort
you make to decorate me. the praise you give me.
I would do anything i could to have you be at CRY.
I dedicate the event to you and to Dr Robi Ludwig....
You will be missed.
I am honored Firoze
and I am forever in your debt"

Zenitude of a Shia Pandit
cross legged
on the lotus floor sit
man falls rises falls
wont quit
a path of pain
peacefully lit
born as a shia
to shed tears
as luck would have it
hussainiyat
kinetic energy to transmit
a soul within a soul to fit
serendipity
peaceful sparks emit
ashura karbala
warp and weft
closely knit
zenitude of a shia pandit
on the face of it
blood sweat and tears
bit by bit
with every stroke of the sword
hit by hit as blood flows
a cerebral slit
an echoing silence
of ya hussain
within the cosmic consciousness
to commit
hussain is humanity
a thought legit
shiasm
a protest
against spiritual terrorism
they know
but wont admit
yazidiyat
we curse
another genocide
we wont permit
a case
in the spiritual supreme court
Allah
The Ultimate Judge
the killers of Hussain
enemies of Shiasm
wont acquit
Allah Ho Akbar
you still don't get it !!!!
Caught in the Web of Her Lair
in love nothing is ever fair
a circle making love
to a voluptuous square
she the mistress of mysticism
caught in the web of her lair
dickheads enter
where angels fear to dare
hijdaeroticness
with all of you to share
unique unusual pair
lost in the wilderness
a man a eunuch
I swear
a torn fabric of duplicity
no tailor
will repair
wisdom like
a line of demarcation
parting the shoreline of her hair
you enter at your own risk
to reach her house

Allah Ho Akbar Muslims Love Killing Muslims
This was a poem I wrote some time back, but more than a poem it is a senseless reality in Iraq, Afghanistan and a neighboring country..Muslims love killing Muslims ..sometimes as a moderate Muslim bought up in a cosmopolitan society ..and luckily bought up as an Indian, what hurts is the eunuch silence that has prevailed in our society from the time of Karbala ..Fatwas for the wrong reasons,,mostly against women and the under privileged sects in Islam.
As a community we wake up from our Rip Van Winkle sleep after we have been robbed in broad daylight to our universal right to live as humans with dignity..
My poem is my personal experience , my personal pain, and the Shia bashing that exists on the cybernet , and the Internet surely needs law and order and policing those that promote hate against communities crimes against women and child pornography..to say the least..
They say
The mosque is where Allah stays
I found he is in the heart
Where man prays
Earlier the mosque
A place of worship
Now they lob grenades
The pillars of faith rip
A new terror from
Sacred lips
Brotherhood of hate
And no friendship
Belted guns on the hips
A jihad that I see
my heart skips
cycle bombs
slippers
skull caps
human
blood drips
Mecca Medina
Karbala
holy places
one worships
now being terrorized
by cybernetic disaster
at finger tips
muslims love killing muslims
the glory and power of a crescent eclipse
why are we losing our grip….
Allah ho Akbar on our lips
Sectarian senselessness we must nip
We owe sanity
And good sense
Traditional values
to the
new generation
that must not trip
Rushing out from a micro chip
allah ho akbar is also a shia hating website
promoted by hate, powered by petro wahhabi dollars
to spite Muslims but in name with each other fight
kill maim shed blood Islamic honor Islamic plight
in Iraq in Afghanistan as Jehadi Terrorism at its height
hidden faces of men in hijabs in the night
Sunni scholars pledge for Peace on Word Press is nothing but
bullshit on sanctimonious posteriors uptight
Might is Might justified by Rogue Mullahs
killing the Kafir is alright
as they their prayers recite
fires of sectarian hate ignite
the masses excite
fatwas of hate to their delight
spewing their bigotry
on human rights
