I could never stop shooting her, I paid tribute to her spirit of survival in a world inhabited by wolves , she was vulnerable and fragile.. she hardly spoke her silence was the bedrock of her grace her dignity and her personality..yes I present you Khushi Hijra from Mumbai..

god tried
but the third gender
he failed to make
but man created the hijra
from his broken rib
for humanity's sake
two parallel lines
yet another line
its existence staked
a thought even
the draconian
article 377
could not forsake
the hijra soul
with demonic power
it did try to break
lusterless lyrics
tears keeping
the hijra awake
dancing
on the soul of love
like a writhing
dying snake
slithering silence
some heart ache
by not creating the hijra
god did not
make a mistake
he created man woman
tired he took a break
the hijra
real unreal or fake
a rose is a rose
is a rose
hijra for namesake
haji malang beckons
summer time
snowflakes

dedicated to my guru laxmi narayan tripathi..
