"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device", a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! "

away
from criminalized
religiosity that
begets the murder
of mankind killing
in the name of allah
is genocide tears
on the soul of those
who died suicide
bombers awaiting
paradise all blown up
but ready for 72
sweet virgins
to make one their bride
misplaced martyrdom
followers of a wrong guide
humility trampled by
their false arrogance
their hollow spiritual pride

And I say this in spiritual context no Holy Saint ever demanded that you become Muslim all he wanted was you become good love abiding humans .. live as one big family without splitting the nation on basis of religiosity caste or creed.
Sadly Wahabbi or Tabblik Islam could not do this either holistically or humanly and further drove a wedge ...is how I see it.. killing has become the only solution to radical ethnic cleansing and promoting radical Sunni Islam .. everywhere in neigboring border countries .

Kumar and Abhijeet Ketkar are the Hindu Khadims of Haji Malang Dargah along with others of their family..
They give me shelter food without charging me a dime , and during the Urus the lodging is quite expensive as there is shortage of accommodation and huge crowds ..
It was first time this year I was left to fend for myself , and luckily both me and my Malang brother Marc de Clercq managed to get sleeping space at about 4 am..
Sakib my florist friend and Abdul Bawa holistic healer were very helpful, Marc stayed back I aborted my trip due to bad health and headed home the next morning after the Palki rituals.
