After The Fire

The fire walk ends and its a traumatic experience for the young Malang he is being taken care of by the senior Malang.

And it was here while the Siddi dhols were playing a woman possessed became uncontrollable screaming shouting, this possession is called Hazri, the senior Malang threw water on her holding her by her dreads bought her back to her senses.

The Dargah experience of this nature is not for the weak hearted..and one Dargah that held my soul in a tight grip was the one at the British Residency in Lucknow.

Actually when I was in my teens I visited Bahuddin Shah Babas Dargah at Marine Lines with my Pathan friend Fazal Khan.
