What beats me is why the municipality does not create pre fab anti bad smell close cubicles for garbage .. without making us see the wealth or garbage porn.. all over Mumbai garbage is blatantly showcased ,

The Bandra Bazar garbage dump, the dump near the Dadar flower market I know most of the places as I am incorrigible garbage shooter ...as is where is..and this dump close to St Michael Church Mahim..

About The Elephant

About The Elephant, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

once upon a time
he was the luckiest
elephant living
like a king
he had everything
crores of money
to have him
installed in
parks she spent
while her bhaiyyas
lived in penury
carrying loads
on their heads
money they
earned to
their hovels
they sent
got beaten
for all all the
wrong reasons
for form and content
the pani puri video
caused a big dent
for the sake of
one lunatic
all had to repent
than came the fall
down fell the elephant
recycled power sent
into exile the elephant
used as a symbol
of peace hope
humanity to other
states he was lent
no he wont go back
to uttar pradesh
ladies and gent
here in bandra
on a pedestal
he is much happier
cheerful and contend

i shoot
sleeping dogs
beggars hijras
garbage porn
i shoot the refuse
of humanity
society looks
down with scorn
people i shoot
urchins beggar
kids soon
disappear
gone ..no
trace
another
new lot
will soon
be spawned
demand
is greater
than supply
merely
a seminal drop
on command
fish like
tadpoles
in a gutter pond

The Hindu Muslim Ekta Committee I Did Not Shoot At Do Tanki This Year ..

The Hindu Muslim Ekta Committee I Did Not Shoot At Do Tanki This Year .., a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

This was shot on Sept 27 and I accidentally met Sajid Bhai the convener at Pydhonie he showed me his letter he was taking for the authorities and Sajid Bhai and his team felicitate Labagh Chya Raja , and it was on Visarjan day my belongings cards my wallet got stolen at Claire Road a little before Nagpada .

I was really heart broken but I went to Police Station and informed the officer on duty of my loss he took it down in his diary and told me he would inform me if something turned up..

More than my belongings it was the loss of my shot card of Lalbagh Chya Raja Pandal on Visarjan morning ,even Sumit Kale budding photographer and volunteer of Lalbagh had shot pictures on my camera from his trolley , this included the Art pictures and a bit of Rajas departure on a 16 GB Memory card , my friend Sagar Bekal had shot my pictures on the camera with Lalbagh Chya Raja in the background.

I had lost Sajid Bhais number as his card was in my wallet that was stolen so I took his number from this picture and called him now and told him of my loss and my reason for not shooting this event of Rajas Felicitation on Saturday.


I also informed Sumeet Kale of Kale bros Lalbagh and Adyaksh Mr Sunil Joshi of my loss..
