for the muslim women

its her spirituality
on the surface
covers the body
covers the face
adding to her
dignity
enhancing
her grace
the hijab
a muslim woman's
mind space
heritage of her race
to piety to modesty
its ancestry trace
but for the western mind
its a garment of oppression
slavery and disgrace
their thoughts on the hijab
anti muslim as their base
it is not the hijab
but islam
they want
to replace
a collusion of
vested interests
in the wrong place

When I reached home after getting bald my two and a half year old grand daughter Marziya Shakir kept on telling me Dada where has your hair gone.


Than I gave her my camera and this is what she saw and shot..and after she shot she looked back to see her shot.


Marziya is a photographer I am creating to demystify the soul of photography.

Luckily I dont show her pictures in the Times of India or Mumbai Mirror as I am sure it would corrupt her child's creative mind by seeing such crap that is published as garnish but makes you lose your appetite for breakfast too.

This Is My 126,002 Photo Blog At Flickr

This Is My 126,002 Photo Blog At Flickr, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

For me Flickr is not just a photo gallery it is the treasury of my photo blogs , all my stuff originates at Flickr and than a few of these I post to Facebook Twitter and my other websites at Word Press Blogspot.

I mostly post links to Facebook..I have till date posted 12207 links there.
All pimping my Flickr blogs ..

I have posted till date 11074 tweets all pimping my Flickr blogs too.

I am ranked 11 as a Twitter micro blogger in Mumbai.


And here I am getting a cosmic head massage as words, clusters of them that generate my street poems needed a holistic touch and rejuvenation.

My mind as a blogger is the only thing that works overtime

I dont drink smoke or fornicate..
My only companion all the time on the streets is my camera the only instrument of mass elucidation and harbinger of Peace through Pain.

I shoot Pain as it shoots me too.

Seeking Peace

although
she has deleted me from my
fucked consciousness
its not her that i seek
my flesh was willing
my spirit was weak
on my facebook moments
she stalked she squeaked
through her absence
it was another women
my love peaked
her vision
through my
poetic metaphoric
imagination
as silence
i tweaked
robust
romantic
red-cheeked

a sexual assault
without love just
pure lust bought
her into the world
of despair
if she had a choice
if she could refuse
her birth by god
i swear
she would have not
come says her stare
living on the streets
fuck they care
her cheating mother
her drunk father
the rotten pair
her child's future
dark dim hopeless
her thought
she bares
to a cosmic poet
wordlessly
she declares
through her
glare
pain
the common
essence
of our lives
we both share

you are not fucked
by a nagging wife
it seems
asleep your
serene soul
you redeem
away from her
domestic insanity
thunderous shouts
her sarcastic screams
part of her fucked
lifes theme
why are you
on the internet
morning to night
she harps
she schemes
to escape from her
you seek shelter
in your dreams

showing
you the collective
ethos of pain
through
street photography
my flickr photo stream
the hijras
blood shedding
pain extreme
pain the common
denominator
beyond caste
color or creed
pain supreme of
man who has fallen '
from gods esteem

Making Fun of Jesus is Not Our Way

Making Fun of Jesus is Not Our Way, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

mocking our
holy prophet
by making
everyone
draw
mohomed
day
is an insult
to humanity
in every way
at the expense
of freedom
of expression
hurting
our religious
sentiments
is not in
good taste
we say
with our
religiosity
we wont
allow you to play
through
world opinion
we will silence
your evil way
our spiritual
solidarity
we will display
our beloved
holy prophet
in any form
you cannot
portray
our collective
hurt we convey
that you see reason
come to your senses
we sincerely pray
