The Slum Seller of Khatta Meetha

The Slum Seller of Khatta Meetha, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

I have to pass him to go to work , he sits near the transit chawl, close to Indraji Nagar slums at Bandra.

Kids surround him , for the stuff he sells.

I buy avlas and raw kairi from him..

He has all kinds of boras , his colored red kairi in vinegar is a hit with the kids..

This is stuff that takes you back to your school days..
I love shooting him..I have never asked his name ..

He has never asked me why I shoot him , but in all humility I am a famous face in this area because of my grand daughter 2 year old Marziya Shakir most of her fans are in the slum..but they keep a distance from her she hates anyone touching her and is good with her fists and legs..
