Simply because I am not into their choice of gender sexuality or their kinks I have nothing personal against them, but they add me without my consent and this One Sided Contact is the greatest curse for a member like me who respects his privacy as much as I respect someone elses .

I am updating this old post today I have spent over 2 hours preening my contact list removing all those that who have added me as One Sided Contact..

Please should only add me if you are into photography, poetry or culture , dont add me because you like hijras crossdressers or transgender or homosexuals gays.

Dont add me to chat with me or socialize with me I am not interested ..dont send me messages to meet hijras or get their contacts I am not a pimp ..only a street photographer...

I respect their choice but it ends there I have removed all my sets on the Hijra community so adding me does not make any sense.

Only my closest friends who I know personally can see my hijra sets collection and poetry.

My hijra documentary is out of bounds for the public .. and I wont post pictures of hijras publically to see them being stolem and misused by crossdressers here on Flickr for soliciting sex and enticing kids to become hijras.

So I am blocking 1019 peopl at Flickr ..

Sorry about that .. but it is my prerogative and I have used my personal discretion..


Most people add me as contact here at Flickr without reading my profile, and I think it is important and mandatory to know a bit about the person you add .

I have nothing against homosexuals, gay or transgender or cross dressers..I have excellent equation with most of those whom I know and its their life ...I respect their gender choice ..but a few cross dressers , gay affiliates who add me on Flickr I block them without hesitation without sending them a message either..so please read my Profile its important to me , a part of it states at the very beginning..

PLEASE DONT ADD ME AS A CONTACT IF YOU ARE INTO PORN SEMI PORN , KINKY GROUPS I AM NOT INTERESTED IN BEING A POSTER BOY ON YOUR LIST OF FRIENDS EVEN IF IT IS ONE SIDED FROM YOUR END- I WILL BLOCK YOU IMMEDIATELY ..PLEASE RESPECT MY RIGHT OF PRIVACY..AS I RESPECT YOURS..

DO NOT ADD ME AS A CONTACT if you have tasteless masturbationally self-indulgent crap on your page!..find someone of your own kind dont subject me to blocking you - which I will if I see my thumbnail on your contacts page.

I WILL BLOCK ONE SIDED CONTACTS THAT HAVE ADDED ME WITHOUT THEIR PROFILE OR AVATAR OR THOSE INTO KINKY GROUPS..PORN ETC..


I HAVE BLOCKED SUCH CONTACTS..the number has increased ..

Before I add a contact request I see their profile which is bogus most of the time, than I see their photostream that states nothing is available for you , their favorites and if it has porn images ..I block the person.

I see the groups they belong too and if it is tasteless and porn oriented or sex related I block completely.




I thought this disclaimer was essential as I have blocked a lot of people and they must be wondering why I did so..


I have also disabled my comment box at Flickr , my pictures that I have taken pain to shoot , my pictures that are documentary of other peoples rites or rituals however macabre them may be have to be viewed with respect even if you are puritan or a Wahhabi..You dont like it dont see it skip my photo-stream.


I dont follow your religious thought I dont follow your views or your diktat..in short I am a Shia embedded to the soul of my motherland India .. Yes I am also known as the Shia Hindu humanity has saffronized my nationalistic soul.

I dont promote any religious view but yes I am religious and a conservative in more ways than one..by following the procession of Lalbagh Cha Raja I dont become a Hindu but yes I am do become a good Muslim a good Indian.. I respect divinity as it personally attached to each one of us...

Many a time I have to explain to Shia kids who think Flickr is my Shia site , Flickr is the source of my pictorial river , the source of my blogs poems and this 2 year Pro account was gifted to me by an American Jew ... the best of the best Dr Glenn Losack MD..Furious Physician.


One year membership I got through a friend Vesti..

And the current pro membership through Google+ friend Jack C Crawford..


I interact with my friends on Google+ only..
