kabhii diivaar hiltii hai, kabhii dar kaaNp jaataa hai
Ali kaa naam sun kar ab bhii Khaibar kaaNp jaataa ha
baGhair hubb-e-Ali mudd’aa nahiiN miltaa
ibaadatoN kaa bhii hargiz silaa nahiiN miltaa
Khudaa ke bandoN suno Ghaur se Khudaa kii qasam
jise Ali nahiiN milte use Khudaa nahiiN miltaa
diid Haider kii ibaadat, hai ye farmaan-e-nabii
hai Ali ruuh-e-nabii, jism-e-nabii, jaan-e-nabii
gul-e-tathiir Ali
haq kii shamshiir Ali
piiroN ke piir Ali
dast-e-ilaa kyuuN na ho sher-e-Khudaa Ali
maqsuud har ataa hai shah-e-laa-fataa Ali
jis tarah ek zaat-e-Muhammad hai be-misaal
paidaa hu’aa na hogaa ko’ii duusraa Ali
“Bedam” yahii to paaNch haiN maqsuud-e-qaaynaat

Street photography is about sharp reflexes , while I was coming from Jijamata Udhyan I saw this happening near Byculla I reversed my cab got out and shot several frames , mind you I was barefeet and over attired and bejeweled.
But nobody said a word to me ..this is one sequence I had never shot before..
This is known as Vat Purnima..This is a part of Hope and Hindutva a message of Peace .

Vat Pournima
Vat Pournima is the festival for Maharashtrian women, which is celebrated in the month of Jesht (May-June). Women observe a fast and tie threads around a banyan tree and pray for the same husband in every birth.
The celebration derived from the story of Savitri and Satyavan. It has been foretold that Satyavan won't live long. Resting on the lap of Savitri, Satyavan was waiting for death under a banyan tree, when the day of death comes. The messenger of Yama, the God of death came to take Satyavan. But Savitri refused to give her beloved husband. Messenger after messenger tried to take Satyavan away, but in vain. Finally, Yama himself appeared in front of Savitri and insisted to give her husband.
Since, she was still adamant, he offered her a boon. She asked for the well being of her in-laws. He granted it to her. She then followed him as he took Satyavan's body away. He offered her another boon. She now asked for the well being of her parents. This boon, too, was granted. But she was relentless, and continued to follow him. As they approached Yama's abode, he offered her a final boon. She asked for a son. He granted it. She then asked him how it would be possible for her to beget sons without her husband. Yama was trapped and had to return her husband.
So, married women pray to the banyan tree for the long life of their husbands and children. Their fast is observed the whole night till the next morning.

Sufis Are Men Of Peace ..They Condemn Killing of Muslims By Other Muslims ..
Sufis Are Men Of Peace ..They Condemn Killing of Muslims By Other Muslims .., a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
They condemn killing in the name of god
they believe the name of Allah is greater
than the head cutting sword they believe
in hope harmony they condemn discord
they re pin humanity on a pinterest board
charity humility essence of brotherhood
money ill gotten wealth they do no hoard
nature attached to the umbilical cord
the order of the dam madar malang
my mission my motive my destination
as i walk barefeet on the burning road
man kunto maulah ali haq haq ali
my spirituality in auto mode
