I Will Have No Regrets If I Happen To Die

i lived my life
without regrets
now i wait
for the final
sunset
released
from my
worldly
responsibilities
the final rest
no more
examinations
no more tests
the final breath
empty the corridors
of my chest
lived in the east
never envied
the west
bottled fury
from my soul
i wrest
wingless
for one
last journey
i move my nest
my karma
my dharma
what was best
was best
away from
urban warfare
burning forests

Due to personal reasons I have stopped shooting Moharam in Mumbai..

I only shoot Moharam in other cities and show the angst of the Shia community and Ghame Hussain.

I find the Shias in other cities more hospitable and humble and respectful towards documentarists like me , who shoot pictures as a hobby and passion and not as a means for making money,..

I thought this explanation was important for those in Mumbai who wont see me any more ,,
