Gandu Tu Bhi Ek Din Meri Tarah Bhik Mange Ga .., a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
nahi bawa
teri tarah
bhik mangna
nahi padega
teri tarah raste
par nahi sadega
shyana bankar
peda khata hoon
baki doston ko
bhi khilata hoon
bhoja uthata hoon
hijdon ke hotel
tak pahunchata hoon
khub paisa kamata hoon
rubab se din bitata hoon
The street urchins of Ajmer are a unique blend of survival they come from far off villages of UP , most of them work at tea stalls , but the smarter ones hang around Moti Katla where the hijras stay , most of them are masseurs , most of them do odd jobs for the hijras ,and they get best of food and comfort ,, sleeping in the courtyards ,many are adopted by the hijras and become their companions and toy boys at an early age ..
I have shot a lot of these boys those without direction work as pick pocketeers , petty thieves , and most of them start smoking doping .. and this vagrant ones sit with the bawas do their jobs .. errands etc..
Life is very harsh bleak, this vagrant type have a lot of options .. some of them grow their hair , and later become bawas too..
There are good kids too ,, but near Ajmer station you can see all this during Urus time ,,I have documented Ajmer street life extensively,,
