The Ramzan Awakeners Have Gone Back To Their Home Towns, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
This year I did not go down to shoot them though when you hear the unstoppable barking of stray dogs , you know the Awakener baba with his torch and stick has entered the slums ..and the stick keeps the dogs at bay, the Awakeners knock at the slum doors , they know the Muslim houses and shout outside building compounds to wake you up for Sairi..
On Thursdays in the evenings during Ramzan they collect their baksheesh for their services , mostly people give them more out of charity than the noble service they do...
