given the boot as illegal
towers come up..immediately

Remembering The Great Cobbler Scam...
businessman
politicians
created
a hit team
formed
cooperative
societies
for a governmental
scheme
siphoned of
the money
of the poor
cobblers
for their
personal
esteem
india land
of corruption
scams .. where
you get wealth
moment you
dream..conmen
protected by
a crooked regime
it is 5 o clock
a tired mind
awakened
from its
sojourn
camera
eye of
a hawk
a thought
exposes
perched
on a
rock
words
arising
out of
nothingness
symmetrical
aligning as
hope poetically
unlocks ..shadows
hunt the soul
talks...grinding
truth out of landless
rock...no more
shock..deadlock
end of an epoch
Uncle We Saw You In Phata Poster Nikla Hero
that you have
become an actor
we could not believe
from a tailor master
to the celluloid screen
a very big leap
with shahid kapoor
our favorite hero
hitting all the villains
in one big sweep
this was one film
we saw till the end
normally by interval
we fall asleep

ऐ मालिक तेरे बन्दे हम ऐसे हों हमारे करम
बड़ा कमज़ोर है आदमी, अभी लाखों हैं इसमें कमी
पर तू जो खड़ा, है दयालू बड़ा
तेरी किरपा से धरती थमी
दिया तूने हमें जब जनम
तू ही झेलेगा हम सबके ग़म
नेकी पर...

I Walked From Andheri East Highway Till Andheri East Station .. Shooting Hope And Humility
I Walked From Andheri East Highway Till Andheri East Station .. Shooting Hope And Humility, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
I finished my work at Canon Master care Service Center Natraj Rustomjee , than walked leisurely shooting the road that leads to the station besides I had to meet Assad Dadan and see his workplace for the first time ,,
I stopped at a juice shop had a lauki ka juice ,,that refreshed me for the walk ahead ,,most of the guys call me Posterwale Bawa .. after acting a cameo in Phata Poster Nikla Bawa ..
All these pictures were shot on my serviced Canon 7D ON 26 October 2013.
This roadside bag seller tailor was putting two new handles on my cloth bag...he charhed me Rs 50 ,,, at Bandra it would be double the amount.
वो सुबह कभी तो आयेगी, वो सुबह कभी तो आयेगी
वो सुबह कभी तो आयेगी, वो सुबह कभी तो आयेगी
इन काली सदियों के सर से, जब रात का आँचल ढलकेगा
जब दुःख के बादल पिघलेंगे, जब सुख का सागर छलकेगा
जब अंबर झूम के नाचेगा, जब धरती नग्में गायेगी
वो सुबह कभी तो आयेगी
जिस सुबह की खातिर जुग जुग से, हम सब मर मर कर जीते हैं
जिस सुबह के अमृत की धून में, हम जहर के प्याले पीते हैं
इन भूखी प्यासी रूहों पर, एक दिन तो करम फर्मायेगी
वो सुबह कभी तो आयेगी
माना के अभी तेरे मेरे अरमानों की क़िमत कुछ भी नहीं
मिट्टी का भी हैं कुछ मोल मगर, इन्सानों की क़िमत कुछ भी नहीं
इन्सानों की इज़्ज़त जब झूठे सिक्कों में ना तोली जायेगी
वो सुबह कभी तो आयेगी

Shetkari Mela Tar Desh Gela...
if the farmer
dies the
nation dies
the farmers
suicide
uncalled
for sacrifice
the middle man
profits proliferate
humanity cries
politics of making
politicians rich is
now hope in disguise
onions beyond the
reach of the poor man
soon wheat and rice
the minister has his
milk coming to his home
every day except sunday
should suffice ..freebies
of his office his trappings
more than meets the eye
castrate the rapists
but what about scamsters
political crooks a thought
needs a reply...those
depleting the national
treasury with help
of our franchise

Dont Upset The Apple Cart
Meaning
To cause upset - to create a difficulty.
Origin
This allusory phrase is first recorded by Jeremy Belknap in The History of New Hampshire, 1788:
"Adams had almost overset the apple-cart by intruding an amendment of his own fabrication on the morning of the day of ratification" [of the Constitution].
dont upset the apple cart
business is bad breaks
my heart..i am the only
one waiting for customers
on my part the others
have closed shop.
on the rampart
man can live
without culture
but not without art
deleted doomed
wingless memories
shot apart sometimes
being dumb is better
than being smart
keeper of an orchard
what a bogart
Sir Please Dont Shoot My Picture - He Said
unlike my friends
i dont go to school
i work at my dads
shop i earn my bread
to make two ends
meet take care
of the family roof
overhead ..ask me
about garam masala
zeera dhunia dal chini
books i have not read
gilli danda kite flying
koyba kabaddi or
carom i dont play
with boys from
the cowshed
i am a proud
marathi manoos
he shook his head
a picture a blog
a poem a memory
held by a moment
of my latur thread
My Latest Update On Facebook
I am on Facebook as a serious blogger ,, I showcase pimp my blogs poetry , my restless angst I am not interested in your personal quirks likes dislikes , your religion your faith is your personal prerogative .. I am not interested in your groups your games your pages .. I type with one finger which hurts after some time so I have just a few friends on my Newsfeed whom I know personally , links you send me I dont see .. I dont add friends you suggest ,,,I mostly delete friend requests of people even women I dont know ,,, I am past the age of being sugar candy ,,, so after adding me you understand my madness it is fine if not remain sane unfriend me ,,,
I dont add hijras , hijra lovers and others simply because I dont share your thirst or your quest forgive me ,,,

of human
frailty
they throw
stones .
