Lalbaug cha raja pictures


Dear Firoze bhai, I have become your admirer after seeing most of your collection. You do have a keen eye on photography.

I am an ardent devotee of Lalbaug cha raja but living in Canada for past 6 years and every year I wait anxiously to see your collection of his pictures.

However I am not able to save your pictures. Do you mind sharing some of your favorite close-ups of Lalbaug cha raja with me. I would greatly appreciate your kind gesture.

Best Regards,
Nishant


Dear Nishant

I dedicate this to you in the humility of my being..as a picture and as a poem as I begin my fourth fast of Ramzan, it is 4.41 am in Mumbai just now..
