Nerjis Asif Shakir 6 Month Old Street Photographer In Waiting

Nerjis Asif Shakir 6 Month Old Street Photographer In Waiting, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

On the day she was born.. she came face to face with my camera , I launched her on Facebook Flickr Twitter and Google+ .. for those who might tune in late we are no more on Facebook.. Nerjis was born on 17 July we three including Marziya Shakr walked out of Big Boss Facebook house for good..and it has nothing to do with Marc Zuckerburg for whom we all three have great respect but we found that Facebook also causes TB...so we took precautions and came to recuperate at Google+outpatient ward.. we are still going round and round in Circles..

Now to Nerjis Asif Shakir she began blogging from day one ..and today she knows the camera assisted by me she shoots pictures sees the image on the camera monitor and Nikon D 80 is as familiar to her angst as her own milk bottle..she knows the camera and wont let it go.. she knows it duplicates her and her world ..the next thing she knows and gets excited is my dagger and the chant of Ya Hussain.. they have got used to my bleeding head wounds and their touch on my head has healed my kama wounds completely..

Both have gone with their mom on a holiday so the house now has the wails of my third grand daughter Fatima Zaira ,, she is neither a Malang nor a photographer just a head scarved Shia child .. she wears the head scarf she has gone bald..she will soon be 4 month old.

This blog is about Nerjis Asif Shakir and Nerjis Asif Shakir I m sure will be a much better photographer than Marziya and me even out mentor Dr Glenn Losack MD..

Nerjis Asif Shakir and the Nikon D 80 are one and I am missing her terribly she kept me sane all times ...she knows the computer and loves playing with the keyboard and the mouse .. Marziya is an expert both on the computer laptop and the Android phone of her dad..

For a few months I was not whining or complaining though every night at 8 pm and morning 8 am my Internet konked off for sometime .. and I pay my bill inspite of this outage ..

However since last few few days the Internet goes dead late in the night to come back again in the morning and I am being persecuted for being an incorrigible blogger , and MTNL Broadband is perhaps the worst Internet provider in Mumbai they are heartless , their customer care service is nothing but irresponsible unredeemed docket numbers on the soul of my poetry..

Their technicians are clueless hardly know their ass from their elbows so what does one do.. I could opt for another service but I had one very bad experience with You Telecom and dread the thought of opting fr a devil I dont know..

The MTNL Broadband Chairman is perhaps on leave and its possible he uses some other service .. so waking him up from his slumber wont help either.. and this is the sad sorry state of affairs where Internet service should be considered a fundamental right to freedom of expression and knowledge..

I am extremely pained as I write this as a blogger who shoots humanity all religion it hurts more , and unless the MTNL Broadband Chairman hates bloggers I would be unable to answer this ..

MTNL BROADBAND Is a Nightmare on Demand ..
