mother and child
beneath the lamp post
celebrating a feast
playing host '
from a distance
watched by
a father son
and the holy ghost
ave maria
hail mary
full of grace
they raise a toast
from the land
of Jerusalem
settled on a mount
in bandra
on the western coast

The Nepali Seller Of Salajeet

148,602 items / 1,137,630 views

he sells ek mukh rudraksh
lucky amulets and sala jeet
salajeet to raise your
languishing libido
add some extra
horse power and heat
he told me it
would make me
more virile
making me
last longer
on the bed
on the floor
in the lift
on the kitchen table
under the shower
on the dining table
when two parts meet
his salajeet from nepal
was called palang tod
with the best whores
i could compete
i casually told him
my girlfriend
was a transvestite
from lahore
fair tall
with buck teeth
memories
of her love bites
things she loved
to eat
said the nepali
salajeet seller
his salajeet
the worlds best
salajeet
was sweeter
more tastier
than buck wheat
he continued
my prowess
would be doubled
would not deplete
i could go on 'screwing
my transvestite '
even if she was
a CW Games
competing
athlete
his salajeet
was manna
from heaven
for my loaf bread
my sweet love meat
nepali salajeet
here he gestured
raising his hand '
once you enter
you just wont retreat
pushing it in
pushing it out
within the labial folds
of a wet sweaty
bed sheet
before he could
add more
on his salajeet
i paid him 1000
bucks in indian money
a story offbeat
if i was not satisfied
he would return my money
he signed on the receipt
in conclusion
i did try the nepali salajeet
it turned out
to be cow dung horse shit
monkey urine
crocodile semen
mixed with soda ash
turning my soul to rubber
instead of concrete

i lost my transvestite lady love
she married the nepali salajeet cheat
i was conned because of my false
bloated libidinous conceit

Shooting Beggars Is Shooting The Soul of Humanity Too

148,598 items / 1,137,571 views

Those that dont know me or those that have not seen my Flickr blogs and when they do see this at Facebook or Blogspot might come to a hasty conclusion that I stalk beggars , I dont but they cross my path as I cross theirs unintentionally.

And I shoot Muslim beggars the tragedy of my race my structural religious ethnicity.

The world of Muslim Beggars and the Silhouette of the Hijab is a set on Fickr.
I show you the comfort of the Hijab its spiritual body language in the urban surroundings of my city.The message of its right to exist as a dress form or code is part of my poetic pictorial thought.

And I dont shove beggars up your throat I shoot other religious feasts and I shoot it in total truthfulness as I saw it ..as you would have seen it with your eyes and my camera.

I prefer shooting the streets more than anything and I love shooting life from moving rIckshas.

I shoot garbage both in human form and as human waste .. no pun intended .

This Kashmiri lady saw me leaving for work she accosted me and told me to help her I told her politely to go to the Shia Mosque at the Bazar and appeal to the trustee there.

In reply she asked me to accompany her to the Mosque I told her it was not possible. and I moved away I was already late for wok on my return from work I saw her begging on Hill Road I was in my rcksha.

And beggars is nothing new they are everywhere , the old disappear new come and take their place.

Muslim men it is alleged force their wives and children to beg , and here covering her up in a burkha lessens the problem of recognition too.

Earlier I walked through a slum where I did meet Muslim burkha clad women with kids I shot but since three months I stopped taking that route for good.

I dont sell my pictures , I dont give my pictures to stock agencies , as the stock agencies are still stuck with slides on their fucked consciousness.
And besides street photography is not a stock picture selling viability , sunsets cute kids garba is the soul of India that sells ,as my genre is human life street pain religion customs rituals hijras and trans gender I shoot this spectrum to the best of my ability.

I do it it in my time and at my expense without any editorial constrains.

And at times now no more I used to get heckled when my Shia pictures upset the Wahhabi and Tabbliki sense and sensibilities , but killing of Muslims by Muslims of blasting of Holy Shrines Dargahs Shia mosques did not upset them at all.. this is the flip side of the religion I was born into and so happily at the end of it II call myself an Indian Shia Muslim

So I shoot beggars when they come my way or I come their way...

The Kashmiri Beggar Woman In Mumbai

148,597 items / 1,137,536 views

away from the valley of hope
on the streets of mumbai
she begs unlike
those that
have no hands or legs
she and her kind
need to be rehabilitated
a painful fuse in a keg
searching for succor
a healing touch
human but treated
as lepers and dregs

The Bloggers Bare Feat

148,596 items / 1,137,475 views

It took me 10 days complete my Lal Bagh Chya Visarjan photos at Flickr.

I shot 1189 photos from 10 am till 1 am of The Lalbagh Chya Raja Visarajan which I stopped at Kumbharwada ,I thought I would catch up with the Raja at Girgaum Chowpatty but once I entered Kumbharwada lane and CP Tank Lane my tired legs failed me , I could continue no more.

I aborted my plans I took a train to Bandra from Charni Road.

Its been close to 10 days since the Visarjan and because of my diabetes my legs are taking time to heal, both my feet are swollen but I have to control my blood sugar as the iron stand and a table that fell on my legs has caused me the greatest pain and misery.

But all in all I would do it all over again such is my zeal for events such as these that bring us out as brothers and not merely Hindus or Muslims.


So now I am posting a few pictures I shot with my defective 20 mm lens that I never use but did it simply for kicks.

Marziya has shot a lot of street pictures with me I shall post in the next lot.


And Hon P Chidambaram Union Home Ministers statement in this mornings DNA says the Allahabad High Court verdict does not in any way justify the demolition of the Babri Mosque..

I think taking law in your hands is not an ideal solution ..so many people died unnecessarily , it easier said to forget and move ahead but those who lost their loved ones both communities wont forget the void created by the passing away of their loved ones in such a tragic manner.

It was a criminal act in spite of the eruption of spiritual an emotional zeal..

Only Time can heal the wounds.
