Living With The Rafaees Of Mahim

Living With The Rafaees Of Mahim, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

Barsati Bawa is always blessing me, he sees nobody hassles me at the Dhuni..as there are heavily doped guys waiting to pick up a fight , and its the easiest way on picking at my camera..I have had tiffs with one or two guys but amicably settled by Tanni..

However Dhuni life and the rafaees is what the Urus ethos is also about, besides the usual rituals fanfare and festivity.

Sitting next to Barsati Baba murshad of Chancawalli Rafaees is Firoze Rafaee.
