The Curse of One Sided Contacts at Flickr

The Curse of One Sided Contacts at Flickr, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

I have a profile page at Flickr that clearly states I wont add a contact with incomplete profile details or with porn on their photo stream or favorites , this tasteless pictures are made visible to me as the person on the other end adds me as friend or family.

And I am not into porn or human genitalia but one sided contacts keep adding me I have just deleted 90 of them and it is a tedious task unlike Facebook where you merely Block the person , at Flickr you have to go to the profile page block him , wait for the next step thereby wasting my precious blogging time.

A sample of the block page at Flickr

Block ????

When you choose to block someone, it means they:

* Can't comment on your photos
(All comments on your photos made by them are deleted)
* Can't comment on your sets
(All comments on your sets made by them are deleted)
* Are removed as your contact, and you are removed as theirs
(They can't add you as a contact again)
* Can't add your photos as favorites anymore
(Any of your photos marked as their favorites are removed)
* Can't add your photos to galleries
(Any of your photos added to their galleries are removed)
* Can't blog your photos
* Can't add notes or tags
* Can't add you to photos
* Can't send you FlickrMail

Note: While the block itself will occur immediately, removal of comments and favorites can take up to several hours (though hopefully not that long!).

Please confirm that you're sure you want to block ?????

Or return to the list of contacts you are blocking.

I have removed the name of the person I blocked not wanting to hurt his sentiments.

But it beats me they will never read my disclaimer on my Profile page which states the following.

Unauthorized use or reproduction of my pictures or text for any reason is prohibited ...

PLEASE DONT ADD ME AS A CONTACT IF YOU ARE INTO PORN SEMI PORN , KINKY GROUPS I AM NOT INTERESTED IN BEING A POSTER BOY ON YOUR LIST OF FRIENDS EVEN IF IT IS ONE SIDED FROM YOUR END- I WILL BLOCK YOU IMMEDIATELY ..PLEASE RESPECT MY RIGHT OF PRIVACY..AS I RESPECT YOURS..

DO NOT ADD ME AS A CONTACT if you have tasteless masturbationally self-indulgent crap on your page!..find someone of your own kind dont subject me to blocking you - which I will if I see my thumbnail on your contacts page.


PLEASE DONT SEND ME INVITATIONS FOR GROUPS..I DONT BELONG TO GROUPS HERE OR AT FACEBOOK OR ELSEWHERE

I WILL BLOCK ONE SIDED CONTACTS THAT HAVE ADDED ME WITHOUT THEIR PROFILE OR AVATAR OR THOSE INTO KINKY GROUPS..PORN ETC..


I HAVE BLOCKED 425 SUCH CONTACTS..





The greatest problem of One Sided Contacts at Flickr they dont disappear if you delete them, your thumbnail will show on their photo steam , thereby
adding embarrassment to curiosity.

Because Flickr is trying to be the poor mans Facebook with respect to pictures they condone this , madness that is one big pain in the rectum of remorse.

And it hits me hard I type with a single finger due to permanent right hand , imagine my agony..if there was merely one step in blocking it would not matter at all.


But the number of steps drives me crazy to say the least.

What bugs me is how can Flickr a fabulous site allow people to become members without valid identification or profiles.


And I hope with all the changes on the new Flickr page in the future this aspect s taken as my feedback.

I am still protesting against the enabling of Comment Moderation , so I have strangled my comment box for good.

Mind you I miss comments from my old friends at Flickr but than those who shit hate comments on my controversial religion and street pictures are in a large majority.

And because I want you to sincerely read this I have taken the help of Raveena Hijda the Rare Beauty and Seductress and the Hijra Goddess of Ajmer.

132,052 items / 981,247 views

Another 97 pictures I have placed on the Flickr uploader will complete this 4 GB cars

I have another 3 cards of 4 GB to upload.

I normally place my stuff on the uploader and go to work when I return I add details titles or poetize a picture or too,.

Few I post to Facebook and some to my Hijda Eunuch blogs at Word Press .


It is a tedious task, but through Yahoo application all my thumbnails show up on Facebook and on Twitter through another application.

So please dont think I am on the computer 24/7 I am not.

Because of a troubled state of mind I hate to add text only where required , or I leave my pictures blank.


This is a passionate Hijra documentation , beneath the smile lurks a hurting hijra pain of servile existence.

And for the first time in my life since the time I began showcasing the Hijra Angst one of the head of the Hijras in Mumbai Ma Madhurima Hijra Guru of Park Site Vikhroli patted my head blessed me and said Beta You are doing a good job for our community.



These few words made my day.

I have to rush to work..now.

appeasing the soul of god

one begs for money
the other for pictures
it is true
a beggars bowl
a pact renew
charity overdue
one with his mind
the other with his
camera your insipid
soul see through
shoot and preview
pictorial pathos with
demented passion pursue
on the wings of angels
of cyberspace
on your computer
you view
a thankless
thank you

Sweet Sofia and Me

The first time I shot Sofia she was dressed like a boy and hung around with the hijras , and than she transformed into a diva.

She walks like a ramp model, and rarely mixes with anyone , but her favorite haunt is Babar Alis tea joint at Moti Katla where they all come to bond and make new friends.
.Babar Alis joint is literally a watering hole for the prey and the hijda head hunter.

Sofia had her rooms at Irfans hotel.

And this was shot by Irfans photographer friend who works for the Ajmer newspapers.
