She grumbles each time I take her picture ..why I take her picture and will it change her life is what she keeps telling me..

Frankly her life wont change at all she was born a man will die a hijra standing erect in her grave period.

She cannot change the hands of the clock so she will be begging till she dies such is her fate I cant change it nor can she.

And though I shoot some of the prettiest hijras in the world this hijra is the one my beggar soul endears too, she and her kind I meet at traffic signals and elsewhere .

I am well known by this lot of hijras they think I am mad ..they are almost right.. I am mad in a very sane world.

Or why would I be spending 3/4 of my life on the internet without without a profit or a penny gain.

And I am not selling any wares or promoting my next book as a matter of fact publihers in India would not touch me with a barge pole.

So like a street whore I spread my legs and give it free my time my pictures and my poetry that perhaps holistically heals me and some of you.

So this is life at one end of a spectrum of a bloggers life , it is 5 am I have been hitting the keys since 3 am.

I dont drink I dont smoke I dont fornicate.

I blog and my blogs travel on the wings of time.

And Facebook or Twitter can topple governments but cant kill my blogs I use Twitter to pimp my blogs I once used Facebook but that was a million light years back..
i dont access Facebbok once in a blue moon perhaps.

I block those who add me in good faith at Flickr they think I am a racist but I am not interested in their semi porn profile or pictures .. or cum shots or the size of their water gun.. so I block..the easiest way out.

Perhaps I am a conservative .. my hijra pictures are neat and clean my subjects are good people caught in the vicious net of misplaced gender, they cannot be ridiculed or humiliated when you add them as favorites to your porn collection at Flickr.

SoI block you and I know you dont read a persons profile because you dont have one yourself too bad I wont add you without knowing something about you.
