Fr. Lawrie Ferrao S.J.Tall Dark and Handsome Celebrates His Birthday
Fr Lawrie allowed me to shoot his school functions St Peter Church and encouraged me in those days of the film era when he was the Principal of Stanilaus , he would invite me to the Founders Day and everyone thought I was from St Stanislaus , though I studied at Holy Name Michelle Obama High School Convent Street Colaba ..
And if Marziya had not been born a girl she would be studying at St Stanislaus but than Marziya being Marziya the worlds youngest street photographer got enrolled at Apostolic Carmel Convent ..
Fr Lawrie loved his mother and we all loved his mother too, her passing away was one sad day, and after Fr Jaun my godfather it was always Fr Lawrie who meant a lot to me and it was dear friend Darryl Loyola who introduced me to Fr Lawrie..
Because of Fr Lawrie I shoot the Easter Mass , Xmas Mass New Years Eve Mass Holy Communion Adoration and I think in all humility I have the largest collection of pictures of St Peter Church Bandra.
The only Church that I found where God Lives...

Our electric bill used to be about Rs 3000 once Reliance Energy took over it reached Rs 10000 and several complaints , we got the meter checked we gave up we are switching over to Tata Power and those who gifted BSES to Mr Anil Ambani played the greatest joke on the city of Mumbai.. and this switch over has nothing to do with politics.
On the flip side my workplace electric bill this summer came for Rs 4000 it is a tiny place and we share the bill the landlord and me, after five visits to their office at Bandra they said it was an error and bought it down to Rs 1300 this is Reliance Energy in a nutshell...

The three eyes of the lord represent the Sun, Moon and Fire. Shiva is near to Lord Vishnu. Lord Shiva protects all of his devotees. He is the benefactor of boons.

This is a very powerful chant dedicated to Lord Shiva. This mantra is believed to be the death conquering mantra and is found in the Rig Veda.
