The Tamils I respect a lot , and like the Miyas are a very defiant brave race , you cant bully them or take them for granted and they are very easily provoked with respect to their customs rituals and religiosity in general.


They do what they have to do Mother Marriamma for the Hindu Tamil diaspora is a very important deity and she is all powerful.. she is a force very holistic in all aspects I have visited her temples and shot them I know the feeling the aura that exists in her spirituality.


And among the Hindu feasts that I shoot with a passion in Mumbai this is one of them the two other being Ganesh festival Of Lalbagh Chya Raja GSB Ganesha King Circle and Durga Visarjan.

I will shoot the come what may.. even Death I would tell to wait for a few moments such is the intensity and my pictures are not photography they are my poems of life..and faith.


I shoot Shiasm with a greater crescendo of faith as it is my birthright the heritage of pain of my forefathers ..
Than Ajmer Sharif I am broke I have the worst tribulations trials I have my face in muck but he calls me nonetheless I change trains I walk barefeet from one station to the next I travel in a chalu dabba but I touch Ajmer he makes it possible.. and does it matter I have never seen Karbala Najaf..

I wont ever visit Mecca Medina simply because my Holy Prophet is under a greater atrocity than Karbala Wahabbi land of Hate and distrust..and this is my personal view as a poet and as a human being who feels shoots pain.. I forfeit the right of my spirituality of Haj and Umrah.. I will the day The Holy Prophet is freed from Wahhabi clutches and the day the souls in Baqi are free a wishful thinking but you never know God works in stage ways so for all purposes my Holy Land is the land of my birth Mother India..

And I must confess here I had written elsewhere but the blog got wiped out due to the faulty connection of MTNL Broadband I write my stuff without saving..

I have a friend a Hindu friend and one day during Ashura he grabbed my zanjir flagellating blades stripped to his back and did matam for my Imam bleeding profusely I took a vow and a pledge that I will shoot Hinduism as a tribute to a Mother who gave him birth and a Mother for whose son he did Matam.. And I shall shoot Hinduism as a photoblog called Hope And Hindutva a message of Peace and Humanity...

Come what may.. And so I call myself a Hindu Shia happy in a land that among every land in the world Imam Hussain considered it a land of Peace Hope and Humanity.

And to show my support with the Tamils I will also undertake this ritual one day piercing my cheeks with a 18 feet rod .. it may happen any day... the spirit is willing and the flesh is not weak..

I am a subscriber of Vodafone since the time it was known as Orange so this blog is no attempt to run them down or denounce them..I have used their service uninterruptedly I may have had problems but none to elicit such a response as my emotional distress and pain that I experienced at their Vodafone Store Bandra Hill Road Mumbai on 14 May 2011 at 12 :07:09 pm..it was a very simple matter that could have been taken care but I was told to take a coupon stand in a line for one and a half hours like everyone else waiting their term of punishment for availing a service of Vodafone.

I am an existing old post paid customer my entire family of 7 uses Vodafone ..

A week back I had got the DND service installed on my phone by their customer care help at the Vodafone store Salman..but calls and messages continued even after a week I went back to him told him my problem he insisted I take a coupon and get my problem sorted out there was nothing he could do.

I approached Zoheb.. their head I did knot now he represented this sorry group..

Later I took a coupon no 66 that was the beginning of my nightmare , the place is a hell hole , it is cramped with people with problems no adequate seating arrangement , no water , a watchman issues coupon and you wait a living dead in this cemetery to be buried with your problem.

I waited over a hour and a half my turn had not come I approached Kushal , he just tried to give me a sales spiel that showed I was at fault not their service than when I exploded as I am a diabetic blood sugar high blood pressure giddy spells he put me on to a guy called Mitesh..

I went back again yesterday as the calls have not stopped nor the messages I went to Kushal and the usual rudeness I asked for their head and it was none than Mr Zoheb.. here too it was the same he was apologetic when I lost my cool regarding their service and told him about my long wait, but he said that was the procedure can you beat this I told him about the problems of people waiting and he said there was nothing he could do..

If you are pregnant , if you are a cripple disabled please dont vist this Vodafone store your problems wont ever end there is no touch of humanity in any of their staff here .. the worst outsourced curt specie I have ever seen in my 50 years of a thinking life in Mumbai.

There was another customer like me and they were going to change the provider go to Aircel I told them to continue with Vodafone as it is good service only this rogue Vodafone store is BAD.. And I have never till date used any other service..

So I have as a poet as a blogger used my blog the only way left to cauterize my pain I know I am not Anna Hazare but I wont take shit I am paying for a service and I wont let people take my ass even if it looks vulnerable or understated because I dress the way I dress I am a human being I am a senior citizen 58 years old and its time people showed some respect..

So though Vodafone Bandra is next to my work space I shall avoid it for the rest of my life or give up using the mobile phone completely.


I am cross blogging my pain on Facebok Blogspot Twitter..
