Marziya Shakir Kisses The Hands of the Shakha Pramukh Bandra

She has been seeing Mr Sudesh Dubey the Shiv Sena Shakha Pramukh , since she was a toddler hanging on my waist as I shot his Ganesh pandal on SV Rad Bandra .

As I was bringing her from school she spotted him and a he smiled in recognition she went up to him outside the Bandra Post office and kissed his hands he was totally take aback surprised at her gesture and her respect for him.

Marziya surprises me too now days and I am not making this up her chant is I am Salman Khan..this from a two and a half year old child.

After she kissed his hands I gave her my camera she paced the strap around her neck and shot this powerful politician of Bandra who is well known in this area for helping the poor and the needy.

Business is very bad
a it rains heavily non stop
soggy shoes
waterlogged boots
that need no polish
business has flopped
such is their fate
they keep getting flogged
their pain their human suffering
of urchins who now beg for survival
their dying hopes i have blogged

it is raining non stop and the homeless who live on the road search for corners nooks and crannies the sky walk any safe place as shelter for their water logged dreams inundated by the fury viciousness of the mumbai rains

if you go out now camera in hand you could shoot pain but i am too tired after my iftar i just crashed without my dinner and woke up a few minutes back.

my computer cannot be repaired so i work on my sons spare laptop

hidden
in the dark doomed
soul of a mirror
lies this poets ghost
a mystic poet
the only one
on the west coat
bollywoods
most wanted
is his boast
blogging
the soul of colored
humanity with
fetid comments
his ass they roast
his poems one day
might also be published
by bombay dost
crossword penguin
as your host
prolifically
uploading his misery
post to post
lifting his leg
squirting
a poem
on the
lamppost
