I remember if she had any problem she would come to our ex Municipal Corporator simply because he made time for the poor , and help sort their problem.. and poor Muslims do have problems , but now gradually they come to have it solved through Advocate Ashish Shelar of BJP and this has nothing to do with party politics , they come because he helps in his individual capacity too.. and that is what the voter wants someone to listen to him sadly , it is the chamchas of our leaders the poor are forced to meet and I hope there is a awakening , as things must change and the poor of Bandra both Muslims Dalits Hindus Christians others face a lot of hurdles bureaucratic loopholes .. and the right to reject all candidates that did not deliver is an option of saving grace in the right direction..

Our entire area of Bandra Bazar road is in shambles , the filthiest market travesty of hopelessness and areas mostly Muslim pockets slums totally neglected , my pictures do not lie .. the JJ Colony area roadside market , to name just a few , Lal Mitti slums need to be organized , and this is a vote bank , it was created to add fodder to Democracy..

I am not a political blog but those I meet tell me the pictures you shoot why dont you post in the newspapers , and newspapers dont even know bloggers exist besides their own photo journalists mostly brain dead along with their camera , most of them .. why will they shoot what we bloggers shoot , but yes we shoot what they shoot too.

We shoot pain , misery beggars hijras transgender we shoot the underbelly of Humanity ,, and I am really disillusioned , most of the Muslim kids have no anchor no leader of merit so you see unemployment drug abuse and other criminal acts , when they hawk on the streets it becomes a crime , they have no safe zone,,and every crime has a Muslim name as the suspect or offender , education vocational guidance is the need of the hour giving coins to beggars wont change their destiny , rehabilitation, counselling I mean this is not my area of thought I am not an activist or member of any groups not in real life or at Facebook or Flickr..But here in Bandra the poor in the slums are looking for constructive change not cosmetic paving of streets or repairs of their common toilets or building walls
