Without The Muslim Beggar Hope In Ramzan Would Be Missing

Right To Beg Is Not A Fundamental Right ,,, It Is Punishable With Rs 1200 Fine


Ramzan is hope for the beggars , as during Ramzan the spirit of charity giving is very spiritually strong, even the miser ends up giving a coin or two,,sometimes it seems strange you give money to beggars you encourage beggary sloth and the beggar mafia, and if you dont give you are called a miser .. it is catch 22 situation..

Now this picture if you see the eyes of the child you will understand why kids too prefer begging to start of as a profession , it is easier more money no laidbacks .. and no boss unless of course the parents or guardian are forcing their kids to beg, most do, even wives are forced to beg by the notoriously Muslim macho male .. some of them , you will see them standing far away keeping a watch on the wife and kid, my camera eye misses nothing..

The Flying Malpuas Of Minara Masjid


If you can shoot this than your trip to Minara Masjid as a foodie photographer could be deemed successful, and I am a street photographer who shoots food for thought ..provided in the right hands it gets caught... on the dot.

Ramzan is about peace hope harmony and most of all food , iftar sairi and beggars and charity..

Bohri Mohalla Ramzan Nights .. Iftar And More


For those who want peaceful chaos than after Minara Masjid head to Bohri Mohalla off Bhendi Bazar main lane , this lane has some great food porn , for those who love street junk food, Bohri sweets at Tawwakal , malpuas and more ... seekh kebabas , khichda and chinese , pizza and snacks.

Most of this lane is crowded with the sons of the soil the Bohris themselves who love food , and this is an interesting Ramazan Food Yatra .. Dont Miss It..

It Is The North Indian Muslim Man Who Adds Sugar To Ramzan Sweets



Most of the sweet chefs , sweet makers at Minara Masjid are Muslim migrants from North India Uttar Pradesh..the cogs in the wheels of the sweet Industry during and after Ramzan too.

They are the ones who sweat it out ..slog and add their touch to what you relish and eat..I guess nobody really bothers about that , inconsequential migrants of hope ,,,this is dedicated to their hardwork and sincerity .. Ramzan Mubarak,

Muslim Beggar ..At The Dhabba of Hope
