My Tribute to a Little Great Man
the only update
a silence unknown
reverberating vacuous
as death lets out a moan
the soul is beyond the mercy
of every pain and groan
stoic serene all alone
a poem of lifes drama
no flesh or bone
numberless relapse
a ring tone resounding
a painful recall
no mobile phone
muted eloquence
breaking all barriers
comfort zone
a little who now
becomes larger
than life on his own
Mr PC Little was my mentor , a Little Man and a Superman all combined in his tiny frame , I shot him each time I visited Lucknow but now I will have to search him among thousands of negatives so I have placed him on the pedestal of Tanvir Farooquis picture frame ..
I was crying a few minutes back on the phone while speaking to his son Bhupesh Chandra Little , we have been friends since a decade, since the time I took a camera in my hand , yes I was hitting 50 than.
Photography has nothing do with age passion has no aging process even a three year old child shoots pictures such is Gods gift when he shows his generosity on the soul of mankind.
PC Saab and I corresponded a lot before the internet era.. and I learnt through his writings , he molded my thoughts and made my journey easier as a poet as photographer and blogging added to the silence of my soul.
