I Am Arti the Beggar Girl of Mahim

I Am Arti the Beggar Girl of Mahim, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

at the traffic signal
of st michaels church
reliving her dream
arti
the beggar girl of mahim
happy full of life
it seems
collecting alms
her eyes lit up
by the car beams
with the other beggars kids
of the mori road slum she teams
unaware of the honking of the drivers
their abusive screams
her smile worth a million dollar
as it gleams
