Are actually not from Bandra , these are beggars who come from far flung areas of Mumbai like Mumbra and other places .. they come to Bandra because there are rich generous Muslims who give , and I gave her nothing as all that I had I had given to the one sitting on the floor ..near the car ..

I was out on a errand and dont carry much money on me ever since my wallet my belongings got stolen at Nagpada during the Lalbagh Chya Raja Visarjan..

I took some money from a friend but when I came back she was not to be seen..

But I will meet her ..perhaps next Friday and give her her dues .. for the pictures I shot ...

endlessly 
they wait 
for a healer 
who will 
give them 
hope 
not just 
a few coins 
or food 
on a broken 
plate 
they stand 
beg here or 
outside 
gods house 
in a beggarly 
state right 
of admission 
reserved 
says the
board 
outside 
his gate 
head bowed 
those who pray 
those that will
 cut rich expensive
goats dumbas 
camels on idd 
are benumbed 
humanity gone 
out of date

in her
hand
her pain
unclasped
the other

begs

tough task
why i
shoot
beggars
please
dont ask
withered
woes
of an
empty
flask
