The Hijra Cleavage
two little birds
captive in a cage
held in the harrowing hell
of a hijra cleavage
sensuously serenading
my wet page
drawing attention
to be upstage
androgynous anomaly
in a poetic image
overflowing fluidity
from a hijra ribcase
Hijras are Beautiful Too !
tiful Too !
flesh soul
hopes dreams
made like you
their lives
through my
pictures to review
tears of a hijra
held on the palm of god
like a drop of dew
at the doorsteps of Paradise
while religious heads
stand in a queue
hijras are human
a thought that's very true

Thank you All..
Nitin Manmohan Prachi and Soham
Nitin Manmohan or Nitinji as we call him is my ex boss..I owe a lot to him, I owe a lot to his daugter Prachi too, I ran Nitinjis fashion studio about a decade back it was the most famous Bollywood store called Prachins.
But than my mom died and her last wish to me was to start my own .so I parted with Nitinji,with a very heavy heart.
But we keep in touch , and this great man, a prolific filmmaker , is very reputed name in the film Industry, Neha Arts his banner has bought out some of the most memorable movies.. Insaf, Mahasangram, Eena Meena Deeka, Bol Radha Bol, Army , to name a few.
Here he is with Prachi and his son Soham a whiz kid..future hotshot director you can be sure..he is very brilliant studies in Switzerland.
But this familys entire credit goes to Nitinjis wife Dolly Nitin Manmohan.
She is the success story and the three are her golden dream.
Bandra Worli Sea Link
shot from within the cab

Dont read much into these pictures I was worried that the cops might hassle me if I got out or stopped the cab to shoot pictures so I shot from the cab , the windscreen was m,essy , I had touse the patch tool to get rid of the scum and dirt.. but than being a Bandra boy, if I can take that liberty I did shoot it finally.
The bridge is a beauty and will be the pride of Bandra Worli and Mumbai..it becomes our citys new land mark.. yes it does replace Gateway of India and Colaba is the place where I lived half my life.. I studied and did my home work at Gateway of India when things were bleak at home..
Later in life I worked at the Burlingtons of Bombay Taj Mahal for almost 7 years.
I could have shot better pictures but I guess it was not my day.
