his Muslim lady sat outside Rolex Hairdressers at Bandra Bazar and I shot her in 2014 ,, I have not seen her lately , but she liked Nerjis a lot ,,and she begged without opening her mouth , her silence held her breathless pain.. and I shot her , tried to share her pain with all of you ,,Now that I video shoot beggars I will talk to them and hear from their hungry mouths the Essence of Ramzan in relation to Beggars ..
And I have over 2744 images in this collection of Ramzan images at Flickr as a set..I captured the elusive tear of a Muslim Beggar .. weeping with joy as God answered his prayers through kind generosity of a few good Muslim Rich... who gave without telling the whole world.
They gave ration , food grains , clothes oil ..and this is Ramzan giving and forgiving as a street photographer and as a Muslim nothing escaped me , I know Hindu friends who gave generously , and there are many Hindus who keep the Ramzan fast with respect to their Muslim friends ,, Ramzan binds everyone ,, is what I have seen ,it adds Hope ,, Serenity and collective Spirituality of Universal Peace .
I was speaking to Mary a beggar at Boran Road ,she was a Hindu converted to Christianity and is now influenced by holistic Islam , she wears the head scarf and sits outside a Madrsa , her mother Maria a leper has gone back to her hometown as the rains are bad for her sores , her flesh starts falling off and sadly she will miss Ramzan ..Marys children are in a boarding school thanks to a few good souls ..
So Education is what these beggars children need badly to bring their parents out this quagmire ,,, education that a few Mullahs think is only Arabic classes and religious scriptures not Maths Science or even Yoga for that matter ..
So Ramzan is also about feelings emotions aspirations and fulfillment of Dreams and I shall try to shoot all this ,, share it with all of you.
