This is a place at Minara Masjid a land mark you dont miss at all..
The Ramzan Special Neem Datunwala ..
Before breaking the fast Muslims predominantly from North Uttar Pradesh ,brush their teeth the natural way .. no Pespsodent for them.. and it is cheap too the other alternative is Guava datun sticks sold outside mosques at Bhendi Bazar
All Roads During Ramzan Lead To Minara Masjid ..

From ftar time till before Sairi Minara Masjid food lane is buzzing with people , activity and aroma of fresh cooked food, fragrance of fried malpua , everything to cater to your palate , be it Muslim or non Muslim.
In the evening after work guys folks head to Minara Masjid ..
Bara Handi Bhendi Bazar ..Near Bohri Mohalla
Bara Handi is assorted dishes of goat parts include paya etc ,,,and is a great sairi delicacy with the Muslims specially the food loving Bohri community ..
Bohri families living in the suburbs have it specially ordered to their houses , you surely need to have culinary taste for Bara Handi.
I dont eat Bara Handi at all , I find it to messy for my liking ..
Nerjis Asif Shakir Has A Date With Destiny
Nerjis will be 2 year old , and though she celebrated her birthday as per the Islamic calendar on 14 Shaban , a single birthday is not enough and her dad celebrates his birthday with both are 17 July born.
This morning she woke everyone up for Sairi and chatted , but she talks intelligently , no kid stuff .All she wants is to listen to her nursery rhymes on You Tube,,,
And most of all she wants to go out with me ,,, these rounds of our backyard are very important for her , she is a inquisitive and has one question after the next ... Dada Yeh Kya Hai,,,

Muslim areas dont sleep during Ramzan from Iftar time till Sairi , and there is so much activity in the predominant famous food oasis of SOBO .
South Mumbai Minara Masjid lane Bohri Mohalla , Byculla , are some of the all night buzz places , families come in hordes , Muslims and the Foodie Non Muslims too.
Firni Malpua are the main Sairi delicacies , and those with sweet tooth can have the best at Sulaiman Usman the eponymous Ramzan all time favorite.
In the suburbs it is Mahim that is more famous than Bandra because of the proximity of the Holy Shrine of Makhdhoom Shah Baba and on the main road of Mahim Baba Fakhr.
Ramzan is month of abundance plenty for the rich and for the poor on the street a month of spiritual enrichment and hope .
Ramzan is a month of Fulfillment..Ramzan is Bliss and More.
Mama When Will I Get Well
from lane to lane
on different roads
we dwell ..people
want to build homes
in heaven we dream
of a better hell
than the one
on earth fires
we can quell
we are used
to filth foul
smell ...
ramzan
is a month
as beggars
our pleas
we hard sell
through
pictures
our story
as a poem
to this
photographer
we tell
our pain
felt by
his grand daughter
who bids us
farewell
I Learnt Humility Respect Humanity Through The People I Shot

on a journey
of life travelers
waiting for
a boat ..
we traveled
a short
distance
together
Mysticism
Sufism
cultural
exchange
of thought
kept us afloat
poetry of life
we made notes
humanity a mantra
we recited by rote
i captured his
personality
he captured
my quotes
dam madar
beda par
i said
he said
ya waris
piya
together
everlasting
spirtual
peace
we sought
an Islam
very different
from that of
the puritanical
jehadi .. heads
to smote ..
suicide bombing
the unborn child
the sacrificial goat
bleeding scriptures
bombed humanity
decapitated heads
mercilessly cut
innocent throats
pictures are poems
evoke and emote
