One thing I know my cousin Glenn Losack would give his limbs to shoot this series this is way up his alley.. it has taken me a lot of time to shoot up close and simply because they are now used to my presence and strangely Shanmugham who organizes all this at Madras Wadi Worli has not even seen my early pictures of this event I shot a few years back,,,he does not surf the Internet.. could you believe it... but this time he said he will check them out when he has time..

Shanmugham and other piercers like him do Mother Marriamas godly work and that it.. I have shot Mother Marriamas temple in Chennai too..only if the person at the Mariammma Temple in Chennai had been more humble and polite than his Tamil counter parts in Mumbai and was not allowing me to enter the temple..he was down right rude and arrogant but I told him I would enter the Temple and he finally allowed me to enter and shoot a few pictures of the courtyard.. on my Moharam pictures of Chennai shot last year ,,, set ..and perhaps he did not know that even Muslims promote the Message of Mother Marriamas goodwill peace and humanity without asking anything in return...

And I hope the trustees of Marriamma temple Chennai read this now that a new change has arrived in Tamil Nadu.

Yes I am proud of my humility to be a blogger with a fucked Nkon D 80 that takes me places .. in the mind of the person I shoot..and because God of Bloggers is more poetry laden more metaphoric a bit opinionated but better than the God of the newspaper photowallah... I prefer to live die like blogger .. on cyberspace.. my children will delete my account at Flickr after my Death.. they dont want that part of me alive anyway.. I have no problem..

Someone tags a photo of his at Facebook and than I get a notification that someone commented on a photo of yours.. it kills me.. how could it be my photo fuck it drives me insane..

I dont comment on peoples pictures and I have choked my comment box everywhere I have my web presence .. one of the reasons is that people dont know how to comment they lack the etiquette or sensitivity of commenting.. they comment for pure sake of passing time some to be noticed .. this is what I have gathered six or seven years as blogger.

Some love to find faults with the rituals you shoot because such rituals dont exist in their religiosity and some guys are paid by Wahhabi skeptics cynics to find fault abuse pictures of Shia blood and gore.This is my appraisal Wahabbis hate Sufi pictures too.. and some Shia bigots hate Shia pictures too.


And at Flickr or Facebook you should not be surprised or shocked or even on cyberspace to see my hijra pictures stolen from my streams at Blogspot and posted on their streams.. without a courtesy line and most use my hijra pictures as thumbnails for their profile pictures on Facebook to con the gullible hijra lover..

And so these are some stray thoughts on a mournfully morose Monday..


Firoze, I love your poems Do you have your poems printed in some way...a book? Have a lovely day.

This was a kind message from a Facebook friend and I sent her a reply.. I always answer messages on Facebook or Flickr..
My reply to her

Nobody will print me maybe yes one day after I am dead and gone.. such is life and the poetry of life of a beggar poet of Mumbai
Thank you so very much for your love support and encouragement that nourishes my poetry and my soul.
