Our annual Moharam house majlis was held today , recited by Maulana Abidi Saab , and the ladies were gathered at my house , and the gents at the house of Hadi and Tehseen Mukadam our dear friends ..All my three grand daughters decided to be with the ladies , and as there are many majlis around Bandra at the same time the attendance was adequate ,..
Maulana Abidi Sab talked at length on the Tragedy of Karbala , the decapitation of Imam Hussain by Shimr and the pain of Ahle Bayt and his sister Bibi Zainab who witnessed the tragedy .of the Grandson of the Holy Prophet Of Islam .. and Imam Hussain was murdered by a Muslim .. and it is a fact and my personal poetic thesis that Muslims love Killing Muslims ..
Karbala exists even today ad the persecution of the Followers of Imam Ali and the Mourners of Imam Hussain continues everywhere in Arab states and in Pakistan Afghanistan and Iraq.. and the Minarets of Hate are silent ,,,the so called custodians power brokers of Islam prefer a divide and rule policy, and it is the factionalism that has even seeped in the soul of Shiasm.. we are divided among our own, one Shia faction bent on destroying the soul of Hussainiyat..and in Mumbai maligning individual Shias by Shia bigots has become the norm , finding faults and judging him without proof simply on hearsay....why are such Shias taking such officious stands against other Shias beats me completely ,,, why cant we be united in Ghame Hussain , instead of politicizing the meaning of Hussainiyat ... and it hurts me deeply .. so the Masaib of Maulana Abidi Sab was about our loss our collective pain , our mourning and the Tragedy of all times ..and when Death draws near , the Azadar is judged for his mourning his tears is the crux of the meaning of Ghame Hussain..
I was weeping like the rest and it is our tears without color bias , our tears whether we are poor rich affluent that become a stream of thought for the generation Next.. a bolder more wiser generation ,cyber say and thought provoking.. Azadari and Ghame Hussain keeps the Flame of Hope Humanity alive .
There was Matam e Hussain and Niyaz that wife had specially made at home , galauti ke kebab and roti and Yakhni Pulao..
A lot of my friends did not turn up, and a a few passed away into the next world .. we missed them dearly..
One of my sons shot the pictures this time .. I took the camera at the end ..and this is the first Moharam documentary I have shot of Mumbai Azadari at my house ..
I shot Ashura in Delhi at Kashmiri Gate and might shoot Chehlum in some other distant city.. where it is Ya Hussain Labaik Ya Hussain...
I am street photographer a beggar poet .. I shoot misery cavorting with hope I shoot original content. I am Shia Sufi Hindu all in One

Main apne jism ka malik hun nafs ka mukhtar
Koi sawal karega jawab main dunga
Mera amal hai mere saath tujh se kya matlab
Khuda ko apne Lahu ka hisab main dunga

Online Supari.. Pay A Shia Bigot And Destroy Another Shias ReputationBy Defaming Him Online
Online Supari.. Pay A Shia Bigot And Destroy Another Shias Reputation By Defaming Him Online, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
Nowadays in Mumbai there is a trend to damage peoples reputation , malign them online , write stupid damning articles on Wassup , and instigate one Shia against another Shia by hardcore anti Human Shia bigots who exist only to cause mischief and rake up issues that are figments of their corrupt evil mind , for a long time I have kept quiet , but being a blogger , a person who respects all communities shoots documents all faith without selling pictures , I am a hobbyist photographer , with 290000 images housed at Flickr..I shot photos of various faith purely as photo journalism, I have never proselytized my Faith as a Shia , but I am a Shia and I cant change the humility of my birth.. born in the womb of a Syed Shia Mother .. descendant of poet Mir Anees.
I am not a member of any group , I owe allegiance to no Anjuman or Shia factions ..The Shias mourn for Moharanm when Moharam begins my Moharam never ends I wear only black clothes , and I dont need a character certificate from a Maulana as much as I respect them I think they are as human as the next person.. I am not a groupie and I have been bought among Christian and Hindus , all our servants in those early years at Wodehouse Road were Christians or Maharashtrian maids and they imbibed great values ..so I cannot borrow your narrow mindedness or your lack of secular understanding, I was lucky inspite of uneducated parents I studied in a European school and the Convent education made me a good human being I think so, I am not a criminal so I hate being blackened online by hate filled Shia bigots how I do Matam, or how I call it Tandav is the terminology of my cultural inheritance .. and honestly I am proud to be a Shia with his roots embedded in Hindustan the land even our Imam loved immensely , so poetically I began calling myself Hindu Shia or a Shia Pandit and after seeing my Hindu friends scourging their backs on Ashura , crying with me I took a vow I will shoot their Faith and I shoot it as passionately as my own..
I owe no explanation to those Shias who were nowhere in sight when we lost our home our belongings during the 93 Riots , it was my Hindu friends who helped me and my Hindu bosses who saw that I stood up on my feet again.. I did go to the office of a famous Shia builder but he could not help us , is part of my cosmic fate ..
So abusing us online , does not do much if on the other hand you talk about Hussain is Humanity and tell me what have you contributed to humanity .. forget the poor Shias , have you forged ties with your neigbor or you just want to be divert attention from your own child abuse , the hammerings you got , so now you turning your ire and venom on other Shia who have nothing to do with you.. Please grow up.. and get your facts right , or do you have some personal enmity or did the Shia Wahabbis pay you to malign us so that we stop shooting Shia pictures .. what is your evil agenda or is this your Door of Knowledge that leads through hatredness , yes my grand children are better Shias than you will ever be in your lifetime yes they recognize Jesus Lord Ganesha and they shoot Hindu Temples Churches because I dont want them to end up as you losers in life ..
You have destroyed the minds of young children against Azadari, because you hate us bleeding , it chills your own evil blood , you bring in Israel, and what has Israel against Indian Shias .. you madman hallucinating son of a sea cook..I have friends from all over the world shooting Moharam , is it your fundamental right to stop them , you coward you cant stop the killings of Shia all over the world and you want to stop our matam s .. is this what your mother father your spiritual leaders taught you , hitting out at others in a hijab without your name , you faceless Shia bigot coward..
Go to Hyderabad , go to Chennai go to Kolkattta go to Delhi see their fervor see their love for the Imam , their path of humanity, perhaps than will you know the real meaning of Ghame Hussain and Maksade Hussain..
I hope and pray to our Imam to add a bit of sanity to your brain , and make you normal.. you are a danger to cosmopolitan society and a greater insult to Shiasm than my calling myself Hindu Shia .. or doing Tandav on the Soul of Shimr...
Yes I am proud of what I am.. my Karbala is my Motherland and unlike your warped brains I celebrate Ashura everyday..

The Profile Of A Muslim Beggar
I stopped shooting pictures , I am sedated with the sadness of our times , so many words on Tarun Tejpal , Arushi murder case on Aam Admi Delhi politics and the poor in our midst die unheard..I visit the Shastri Nagar slums of Bandra every day,..the unchanging Muslim world pushed into ghettos , and happy where they are ,..I am assuming they are happy , the owners tenants , the vendors , the butchers and the beggars ..
The poor I am told give generously to the poor ... the Muslim beggars get alms left over food in the slums ,,and the slums are three storey tin sheds with a wooden staircase ..children running haywire , the dinghy dirty filthy bylanes ..neglected by an innermost hate by the cvic authorities for Muslim ghettoes , the sweepers take an extra buck.. and life goes on.. till an epidemic breaks out or a fire breaks out,,,if a fire breaks out the local goons enter to capture plots and get it legalized o the name of their friends relatives .
This is the eponymous Muslim vote bank that keeps the hope of some candidates alive from one election till the next elections..
And it dampens my soul , the misery the pain the pathos..
Muslim Beggars ..A Day Dawns
once perhaps
there were
good days
now all gone
soliloquy
solitude
chapters
all torn..
life at the
mercy of
the beggars
bowl forlorn
forgone
the soul withers
tattered battered
the spirit to live
withdrawn
..the hand
outstretched
to beg reborn
life goes on
the skull cap
asserts the humility
of this musalman
