The Buxom Hijra From Peela House at The Gay Pride
The Buxom Hijra From Peela House at The Gay Pride, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.
We met several years before at Heena Hjras place at Peela House , and I shot these beautiful creatures in captivity at the Hijra Cages .
I have not met Heena for a long time now as I hardly go to the Red Light area , a place I shot extensively , a place that fascinates and intrigues me no end.
I shot Salma I shot their Guru Laxmi connected to Madhurima Ma of Park Site Vikhroli.
I also gave a exotic diamond quartz to Laxmi Guru to place at their Ganesha temple , and all my memories of my hijra adventures chronicles are at my Hijda Set at Flickr and my Hijda eunuch Blogs at Word Press.
Hijda-Eunuch Dot Com domain also belongs to me.
My hijra Guru is Laxmi Narayan Tripathi from Thane.

in a rainbow
colored wall
as human
as sensitive
to your pain
total recall

man was born through
a karmic circle of pain
entombed in a womb
flesh blood and brain
man both sane insane
after the cutting of the
umbilical cord to
the earth enchained
his life blood stained
from one fucked generation
to the next fucked it has
remained mans pathos
passion poetically explained

Ashok Row Kavi was dressed to kill
flaunting his androgynous sexuality
the crowds he killed miserly moments
painstakingly on the photo journalists
he spilled as god willed a seminal
soliloquy a task uphill as he winked
down below to the queer prince
of raj pipla manvendra singh gohil
a march a gay pride no run of the mill
unlike 29 No TV day of Hindustan Times
a broken pail no Jack No Jill
a barefeet blogger bejeweled
poetry some photography skill
his hijra guru laxmi narayan tripathi
who foots his bill at haji malang hill
hijdaeroticness and goodwill
frivolity fun frolic and some thrill
a rainbow flag on republic day
on my window sill makes
ramdeo my homophobic neighbor
very ill calisthenics on a treadmill

I start a new series at my Flickr photo stream, keeping the rest of my religious uploads on hold,the Queer Azadi March Gay Pride 2011 , which began at the August Kranti Marg Gowalia Tank 29 January 2011 ..an event more upbeat than the misfired Hindustan Times No TV Day.
As a photo blogger and a hetero sexual disciple of Hijra Icon Laxmi Narayan Tripathi I have shot this event almost every year , simply because the gay lesbian hijras need our support and it is a human and noble cause.
Also because I have some great friends in the gay community members and founders of Humsafar , Ashok Row Kavi , Vivek Anand Nitin Karani and Palav .
I am a great fan of Mr Anand Grover he is an inspiration , and has fought tooth and nail so the gay community can walk with pride..
I came here barefeet and shot this till the very end , the march was inaugurated by Ms Celina Jaitley champion of the gay lesbian and hijra community.
As I am not a reporter type just a poet and a photo blogger I shall keep text bare minimum just enjoy my pictures as I make you relive every moment I shot with all of you .
The Mumbai Police were simply great and the March went of peacefully the crowds cheered and supported the resurgence of Gay Pride in Mumbai..
Thank you Celinaji for this picture ...my camera lens was paying homage to the best of you.. in flesh spirit poetry passion and pathos.
