This is a patient half in half out on the streets outside the local Municipal hospital packed within like a new film released on a Friday.

He will lie like this till his turn comes to prolong his life or to die.

This is the anonymous tale of the common man on the street, and honestly only me and my camera shoot pictures like this and the dead soul of the city that says let sleeping dogs lie..

This is bang opposite the bungalows of top Mumbai Police senior officers stay, and the cop outside the gate asked me why I was shooting him , I did not tell him anything just moved away.

And this is what I show my two and a half year old grand daughter and she learns the story of man from the pictures I shoot ..this is theory of street photography of the dead soul of our city.

For all you know it could be me lying out there and a two and a half year old chlid shooting me as she walked from her school to home with her crazy grand father ..and a school bag on her back where the books of the lessons of life will never be found..

And our knowledge is based on books books that the child will never read when he or she grows up , the knowledge of the olden days at the feet of the Guru under the banyan tree is only a myth .

Education , like Justice like Medicine is all about big bucks you have you enjoy or otherwise you flow with your fucked karma as they say.

Because you pay heavily to become a cop you swindle you cheat you rob to hit back at a system that will never change.. if Corruption goes away the newspapers will go bust.

CWG could also mean Corrupted With Gratitude a way of Life and the Master Game of Life... a Path of instant success and wealth after the Games no one will remember politics is what will eventually destroy Mankind with the help of a hand maiden called Religion.

These are my personal views as I become older walking the streets with a camera like a whore and capturing moments of the fall and the indignity of Man.

He waits for Death whether he lies on the streets and if he does get the hospital bed he will already be dead..Man is a name or nameless on the street till they give him a number duly tag him and send him as a corpse to a stench filled morgue ...to be buried or cremated depending on the foreskin of his fucked fate .
