Every year on Oct 3 I wish Ashishji as I call him a great family friend support and mentor , this picture was shot in color but I have desaturated all the hues to show you in starkness that behind every great man like Advocate Ashish Shelar lies the Soul of Ganesha Omkhara Remover of all Obstacles ..
Advocate Ashish Shelars world in all humility I have encapsulated as a set on my Flickr photostream.. and simply because even as a politician spokesman of BJP Party he is a simple soul.. he started his life from scratch living in penury but by sheer hardwork, struggle rose to the top , but as yet not forgotten his hard times or the humble abode where he lived .
His mother considers me her son too, so my bond with Advocate Ashish Shelar is very special.. I am an apolitical man but I respect this great humble human being.
He and his Wife and son Omkar are part of my extended family .
Good Bye John Dixon Howlin Dervesh

The Mirror in your Eye
HOWLIN' DERVISH (10/16/2007 2: 59: 00 PM) Post reply | Read 1 reply
.. at one time Howlin' brought a gift to the powerful Sultan Firoze. 'I have brought you a picture of the biggest fool in your realm.' he told the Sultan.
Sultan Firoze is delighted and unwraps his gift. His pleasure turns to fury, however, when he finds he is looking into a mirror. 'Take this impudent dervish away and have him flogged.' Sultan Firoze yells. Howlin' is astonished and looks in the mirror to see what has caused offense.' But O Great Sultan Firoze, ' he protests, 'this is a picture of the greatest fool in your realm.'
MORAL: If you don't know yourself to be an ass, you certainly are an ass.
Love is All
HOWLIN'
If you see your image in the mirror
It does not lie
Your faults your shortcoming
That reflects from the closet of your eye
The mirror tells the truth
Though cosmetically you lie
Your erased wrinkles of
False rejuvenation
It espies
Your cowardice
Your hate for others
Embellished on your
Soul as ungratifying sighs
You are nothing but
Hatred in disguise
Father Son and Unholy Ghost
Racist Trinity
Do take advice
Howlin ‘s Words
Pearls of Wisdom
No surprise
Relent Rethink and Realize
Thank You Sufi Master Howlin Dervish of Koyna

" Stop Writing Poetry "she said
you keep getting into trouble
you and your hot air
balloon head
the poet racists of
a hate filled poetry world
want you debarrred and dead
with the connivance
of hackers
website managements misled
stop writing poetry she said
with your poetry blogs
you dont earn your daily bread
its poetic truth
that racism exists
in cyberspace
that they dread
many a
poet from the dark nether world
the racist poets have bled
aldo , arizona angel and also our own fred
their juggernaut wheels
over dead bodies they sped
these academicians
pompous poets well read
the law of nemesis
will catch up
surely
before they get ahead
i dedicate these lines
to trade howlin hazell
ray lucero and ted
Thank You -Howlin Sheikh
Thank You Howling Sheikh

A Fake..An English Poet
A White God of Poetry
For Poetry’s sake
A slithering slimy snake
An American handmaiden
Who loves to cook and bake!
Good friends she does forsake
This Lady of the Lake
Racism in poetry
Is no nice give or take
It does a brown back break
A thirst parched in sorrow
Mere words can never slake
I am sorry I should have written
This in my language
But than poem hunter
Poison I did partake
Metaphors, Similes
And my poetic ache
And my horrendous grammar
My punctuated pause
My pedestrian poetic mistake
A pictorial wordless photographer
Writing for fun
Burning as an Indian
Like Joan Of Arc
Pilloried at a Stake
Pursued by
Australian Coral Racist Snakes
Racist Ducks and Drakes

poem by Howlin Dervesh at Poem Hunter
For the want of an 'r'
Our lives have
Or may
Change somewhat.
With out 'r' we
Could never be Rude
only ude
Ude is my new word for today
As we get old and gay
And prance in the ude
Looking far from ude
As today may say

Nice write Howlin! Short and sweet! Vendi, Vidi, and i enjoyed your write!
Ray Lucero (12/16/2007 2:16:00 PM)
Uday Howlin,
As President 'Tricky Dick' Nixon once said;
'You won't have me to kick around anymore'
So it is with Firoze...
Peace,
Ray
T McH (12/16/2007 2:13:00 PM)
Ude is an excellent word.
Actually - despite the hurling of crap I found Firoze personable and charming. Also easily offended and easily offensive. Never to me however and I take people as I find them. o me. Whilst being aware of what they may say about others. As do you.... F. t x

I met John at Poem Hunter and I was all alone facing a barrage of hate from a couple of racist poets one mother fucking son of a whore from Tweed Head Australia .. John fought for me and David Hazell another English poet too demonstrated his flair for righteousness and stood by me..
Both were to visit me in Mumbai a few years back but sadly our dreams died young .. these are my old memories poems , that I have linked to Facebook as his obituary..
This was a blank post I added words to it..
Muslim Beggars of Bandra Are Not Actually From Bandra
Muslim Beggars of Bandra Are Not Actually From Bandra, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
Are actually not from Bandra , these are beggars who come from far flung areas of Mumbai like Mumbra and other places .. they come to Bandra because there are rich generous Muslims who give , and I gave her nothing as all that I had I had given to the one sitting on the floor ..near the car ..
I was out on a errand and dont carry much money on me ever since my wallet my belongings got stolen at Nagpada during the Lalbagh Chya Raja Visarjan..
I took some money from a friend but when I came back she was not to be seen..
But I will meet her ..perhaps next Friday and give her her dues .. for the pictures I shot ...

The Sanctimonious Muslims That Feel For The Muslims of Assam And Myanmar Have No Time For The Poor Muslims of Mumbai
The Sanctimonious Muslims That Feel For The Muslims of Assam And Myanmar Have No Time For The Poor Muslims of Mumbai, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
I was seeing her after a very long time , had not spotted her on many Fridays that I passed this way , perhaps she had gone to he muluk or hometown..I give her money generously and I shoot her pictures and she is not from Assam or Myanmar .. she is from Mumbai and the so called sanctimonious heads that feel for the poor Muslims of other areas have no time for the weeds that grow in our backyards .. and there are so many of them outside every mosque in Mumbai.
And I shoot the Muslim beggar it is the genre of my human documentary , I shoot other beggars too but I shoot Muslim beggars because I am a beggar poet ... a beggar in more ways than one.
I have been shooting Muslim beggars and I dont need to sell pictures to add to my income my photography is free , but all my camera equipment etc has cost me money .. and after I am dead and gone perhaps my grand children will shoot beggars too to show you their evergrowing unending pain..
And in a few weeks the so called rich showy Musalmans will spend loads of money buying expensive goats , dumbas and their pictures will be plastered in all the no 2 Newspapers of Mumbai DNA And Hindustan Times I dont read the Number 1 newspaper of Mumbai..and I once went to Deonar to shoot the expensive goats but I stopped it I shoot around Bandra.
And I will shoot the Bakra Eid Namaz ..
Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى ‘Īd al-’Aḍḥá, IPA: [ʕiːd al ʔadˁˈħaː], "feast of sacrifice"), or Feast of the Sacrifice or Greater Eid, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with a sheep to sacrifice instead.[1]
And after the namaz the agony of the beggars of Bandra and finally the slaughter of the goats and the bulls .. and even the guy who has not cut onions at home will become a butcher because demand is greater than supply and for me Bakra Eid is the beginning of Moharam.. another important sacrifice that has kept Islam alive till date because of the Martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain .. grandson of the Holy Prophet .. I will shoot the blood of the goats and in Moharam the blood of the Shias symbolizing a protest against Yazidiyat since 1400 years .. the banner of Revolt against hate for Humanity .. by the enemies of Hussain.
And I will cut my head too on Ashura and on Chehlum to continue this Protest my personal expression of my feelings and my pain part of a greater collective ethos called Ghame Hussain..
Kamal Dhamal Malamal.. Ram Jane
First the pictures release on his wall and Sushil Kumar the Tantrik of Juhu only does his magic on those whom he likes .. Ek Tha Tiger was a Super Hit because Sushil Kumar of Juhu Facewall is a hardcore of Bhai and hopes one day Salman Bhai passes by and shakes hands with him.
We are great friends because every time I pass Juhu close to Theosophical Hall I keep my wife waiting in the ricksha and take his shots he is one of my streets hero..he is the Bollywood Struggler ..
And if I was making a move I would add him to the cast , he is a lucky talisman for all Salman movies ..
He is my very good friend sometimes I give him pocket money too ..for keeping the world entertained through his Facewall..
