Self Healing The Scourging Wounds

Self Healing The Scourging Wounds, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

First I must confess a thought and I wish Flickr had a wall on our main profile page , that we could at least voice an opinion, or a gem.. but Flickr hates copying Facebook, it wants numbers and nothing else..it wants heads , more members nothing else, it thereby promotes porn, though that is not its intention , anyone can become a member with a false ID, all are heartily welcome child molesters , pedophiles, anyone,

So you have ordinary members who are on Flickr simply for browsing the hardcore sexually explicit pictures , you have members who have joined for racial profiling, racist abuse, for Shia bashing,I took a lot of stick for posting Shia pictures , my family cursed abused , till I finally locked my comment boxes at Flickr and also at Blogspot.

I like Word Press as I have enabled comment moderation , I am the sole person author of my blog to censor a comment.. yes I am doing a free service to Cyber Society I give my time and I pay Rs 800 per month to my service provider to show you my cultural inheritance not merely as a Shia but as an Indian too.. I show you the underbelly of our diverse religious angst as a photo blogger..I have no side income as a blogger ,it is totally gratis I dont sell words I dont sell pictures , I am opinionated as much as you all are.And at the age of 56 I dont think I need to go under an editorial desk to give head ..to see a single picture published or my pedestrian verse made public..

I am online and Google Search brings me to your home whether you invite me or not..I will be alive as a blog unless my children delete all my stuff after my death..my blog is my heritage as a street photographer I bequeath to them.

Now having said all this I began blogging at Buzznet in 2005 and at Blogspot too, someone a vicious person hacked my Buzznet site I had to delete all my blogs 11000 blogs in a single night.

I was totally disillusioned with blogging and the time I spent on it , endless sleepless nights.
So I came to Flickr , and in less than 31 months I have posted 112849 blogs on all religiosity and street subjects.. 75 %of my blogs are part of a genre called Hope and Hindutva and this is my tribute to my Hindu friends well wishers and to my country.

I am an Indian much before you identify me as Muslim or as a Shia period.

So I began posting my Shia pictures , on Buzznet and Blogspot , not to enlighten Shias they already know the essence of their Faith , I posted my Shia blogs only for my friends mostly Americans all on Buzznet.

I wanted to know my religiosity of pain up close , and interpret it without falsity.

I shot Moharam in most of the cities of India, sometimes the Shias of Lucknow too treated me shabbily till I did my Tandav on the streets of Kazmain cutting my head like I have never done before.. Yes there are a lot of bigots among Shias too, they want me to be like them I cant.. I come from the crucible of tolerance and mutual coexistence .. Yes I am a Pucca 101% Mumbaikar and I am proud of my city.. without disrespecting the roots of my birth - Lucknow.

This is my 6 th year as a photo blogger I shoot with a single camera Nikon D 80, my Flickr two year membership has been gifted to me by my American friend Dr Glenn Losack MD..

The guy in the picture has cut himself badly, and he is being treated with water, his back will pressed with a cloth ,so blood clots dont mushroom as little bloated bags once the wounds heal.

And I shot several frames of one friend helping another friend.This accelerates the self healing more than anything else.
