Does it matter whether you see me or my silhouette of pictorial pain.

This too is a picture shot by Marziya in the early days of her tryst with my Nikon D80.


Marziya is a camera friendly child and knows my camera as she knows the toys she plays with , maybe at the moment she thinks it is a toy but she shoots pictures with a passion of a pro.

Marziya had the camera forced upon her since she was a little child thanks to my passion too..the camera for a street photographer and a blogger of sorts is a messenger of Peace and an instrument of holistic healing.

I am Marziyas grand father cum Guru ..and Marziya is a marvelous learner , she knows at her age the memory card in the camera , the card reader and the process of putting the card in the card reader and attaching the card reader to the computers front port.


Mind you I use the words she knows she may not actually put it in but she does all the requisite action necessary for the process.

A child if it has aptitude gift of learning and devoted to art and creativity it becomes easy for the Guru to unteach the process of learning or unlearnig to a two and a half year child.

Marziya will never take the camera from me without putting the camera strap round her neck.. this is a must come what may.
She grasps the camera despite its weight with a very firm grip..she pushes her eye into the viewfinder but she shoots without looking into it obviously ,. she has read the picture she has to shoot without seeing it in the viewfinder.

She presses the trigger than she turns the camera on one side to check her picture.

Sometimes I reprimand her that she has cut of a persons neck I assist her , aim she takes the next shot.

Now I dont do this everyday sometimes only.


If she gets new clothes that her mother has bough and once she wear them she will call me to take her picture.

Marziya is a very stubborn child sometimes she will cry non stop bawl her lungs out for reasons we dont know this occurs frequently I told her Mom to have it checked up this mood swing...what a swing.

The other passion besides photography is her love for drawing and coloring, she can freely draw a fish a mango and a rat..she is a great mimic and it is Mr Bean she imitates to the hilt walking like him in a wobbly manner.

Marziya like Barbie dolls but she prefers an ugly monster of a boy doll with one leg, he gets all the injections and medicine when Marziya plays doctor by her self.

There are no kids at our house we all take turns becoming kids for her.

Our house lights had gone off for 3 hours , the power has just come in now this is Mumbai Bandra for you.



This was a post posted in May I bought it forward added text and made it brand new.Yes Flickr is where all my blogs are born live and cross blogged to a few of my sites on cyberspace.

Facebook Twitter and Marziyas blogs on Wordpress.



You have to forgive me if I go Gag Ga over my grand daughter Marziya is my first grand child and I am very exuberant of playing the role of the grand father to the hilt.
