There is a lot of grace to the hijra wedding dance performers , they wear loud glitzy dresses loud make up but they are human beneath the scarring jarring pain of life ..
To fend for life they have their protector or Mai Bap , he takes care of them gets to fuck and bed them free , sometimes the horny bastard is a drunk well connected politically and lives off their earnings too.
Its a sad situation but life is a song you play by ear.. its the tune that matters.
The kids had a gala time later the older kids showed their Boogie Woogie skills on the dance floor the pelvic thrusts and all.
And this was next to my building compound wall the wedding family kids are my good friends from a good family ..their father did not want this show and extravaganza but the kids persisted wanted some fun had their way and Reshma is know to all as she lives at Lal Mitti she was originally from these slums.
And I never met Reshma at Haji Malang or Ajmer Sharif these are hand to mouth hijras ..wedding events birthday parties keep them alive there is hardly any badhai demands like in Delhi where hijra groups earns a lac or more on rich mans child's badhai day.
I am street photographer a beggar poet .. I shoot misery cavorting with hope I shoot original content. I am Shia Sufi Hindu all in One
