The Madariya Malang From Bandra
I used to meet him during Eid namaz but haven't seen him since a long time..he sits outside the Sunni mosque on the way to Mount Mary steps ,He is a very humble soul highly respected by the Hindus of Bandra Bazar Road,,he knows Sanskrit Shlokas and recites them in Hindu shops ..
He is from the Sufi Madari Malang Order of Makanpur..,,every since I told him that I too have taken the oath of the Malang , he calls me his Peerbhai.. though he is old enough to be my teacher .

Zanjirwale Bawa And The Malang Of Mumbai
Most of the Bawas I meet at one Urus or the other , but Zanjirwale Bawa I have not met for about 2 or 3 years ..
And they just disappear , their Murids give them Mobile phones ,I believe he was given a wheel chair to make his travel easy .. but I have lost touch with him completely..
