condemned
for a travesty
of gender
by fate
in the dinghy rooms
of the peela house cages
they wait
untouchables
social outcasts
their angst
their struggle
through pictures
on the soul
of humanity
i update
the creaking cot
the bed bugs
the musky smell
of urine morbidity
a seminal soliloquy
as the hijra gyrates
dampness
heat and sweat
as she flips over
her dead weight
a strange encounter
a strange bed mate
hijra sex
a rarity
a delicacy
hook line
sinker and bait
the hijra
god could
but did not
want to create
androgynous
source of ignominy
self hate
i shot
the hijra copulating
entwined
with her pathetic customer
i did not need my camera
to capture sorrow despair
remorse a moment innate
mindlessness that
for once did not titillate
as the fucked fan
overhead
slowly rotates
the act over
she took
the money crumpled
notes in silence
gave it to the
hijra madam
her roommate
than she looked
into my eyes
a tear drop
that lay
on her cheek
unwilling to
mutate

for once
i have uploaded
a teardrop
at flickr
unseen
through
mere words
it vibrates
humanity
insensate
neither man
nor woman
merely
hijra trait

ALLAH HO AKBAR SHIAS SHIASM TAGGED ON FLICKR

170,265 items / 1,323,571 views


I began my journey as a blogger in 2005 at Buzznet and Blogspot Fotothing Webshots..but my site at Buzznet got hacked and some Shia hating son of a bitch put pornographic pictures in my Shia galleries that I had at Buzznet.

I faced the wrath of bigots in my own community in holier than thou Lucknow the cosmic city of my accidental birth , I was threatened by a few brigands that are part of every society, only these brigands were Shias I was naive new to blogging I requested Buzznet to delete my account I had two accounts..as they had suspended it from their end because of the hacking.

I deleted my Blogspot accounts , and I learnt a lesson online about the vicious attack, the racism if you are accidentally a target of such mischief.

I had another web presence the oldest that holds my memories as a blogger that I did not delete Photographerno1.com , its a gravestone I dont post anything here at all.. instead I joined Flickr.com the best in photo management..

I joined Flickr in June 2007 and have come a long way , because I was grateful to Buzznet for shaping me as a blogger I still have an account as Shia Thug out there , the name Shia Thug was in response to the Blog Goddess my online American Muse who does not have any such regard for Shias like me...that slog their ass shooting all religion faith on the soul of Humanity.

In those days I showcased Shia rituals , customs merely to show the Shia angst the Shia pain , and nothing more, I shot Christianity and Hinduism too.

There was one site on the internet that loved bashing Shias and inciting sectarian hate a Whabbi inspired Salafi Shia hating site called Allah Ho Akbar.net.

It had monopolized all the Shia tags conveniently if you clicked on Shias Shiasm Shi Shiite you would end up on their site.

And I felt it was uncalled for , you dont like Shias fine , they dont bomb Sunni mosques or Sunni Shrines and go about peacefully with their agenda of Ghame Hussain.

I talk in general, and it shocked me further I am a Convent school product proud of my cultural roots I call myself a Hindu Shia too..that the majority community maintained a pin drop eunuch silence to the jihadi attacks on pilgrims at Karbala and Sufi shrines elsewhere.

So lat night I sat awake tagged all my Shia sets at Flickr with Shiasm, Shias, Allah Ho Akbar.

And when I Googled for Allah Ho Akbar ot net I realized it is up for sale.. Good Luck Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish..


And there was Shia bashing at Flickr too so I locked up my Flickr comment box for good I shall open it the day Flickr introduces Comment Moderation as is at Blog Spot Word Press everywhere.

I have an account at Word Press too that I started after I deleted my Buzznet account, I have a Shia site at Wordpress Shah Ast Hussain and a site on Wordpress in defense of the Hijra community called Hijda Eunuch Blogs.. showcasing their right to live as citizens of the world as human beings ..nothing more nothing less.




I dont access Facebook , but I love Marc Zuckerburg without stalking him like my other India counterpart.. I am Straight .

I love Biz Stone father of Blogging so I joined Twitter.

I dumped Brandon Stone he is too far fucked elitist to me.

angels of the gutters
broken sullied wings
that refuse to fly
entombed on earth
dreams of celestial skies
wondering time and again
is there a hijra paradise
androgynous hopes
illusions human bondage
clothed in disguise
hated by godmen
hated by gaurds in khaki
the hijra angst pays
a heavy price
in the cages of hijra despair
a fucked human soul cries
on a clothesline of despair
it dries 'tears that fall like
molten raindrops from
socket less eyes
a commodity
in a flesh market
chopped minced
they buy
a sexuality
doomed to
rectal darkness
a cosmic fate
a hijra soul
enticed
