Indians Have No Time To Feel The Pain Of Other Indians

They wake up get sensitized when something hurts their religious sensibilities or if someone in their community is raped , or their temple mosque shrine has been demolished for whatever reason ..but as Indians they seldom re act .. and much of the division is caused by rogue elements politicians to destroy the unified fabric of a  Greater India beyond caste creed and sectarian priorities.

We think regional all the time , we are overtly vociferous as Muslims to the treatment of Muslims in Assam  Burma or Gaza but we treat our own  poor Muslims as a bag of shit.. I have pictorial evidence .We protest mostly during Ramzan , whether at Azad Maidan where the organizers are still laughing all the way to the bank while the youth that carried out the heinous acts while in Roza is something even God wont forgive , molesting women cops , targeting our public structures is totally Anti Islam and an upright police commissioner had to pay for their sins by his removal, had he ordered a police firing on their hooliganism there would have bee riots in Mumbai..And nobody condemned their acts it was the organizers that should have been sent to jail not just the youth but than our erstwhile justice system and our political machinery work on an appeasement level Muslim votes are vital to stick to their chairs.

Even the Lucknow protest during Ramzan for whatever partisan reason was not for Gaza nor for the Shias Christians being massacred by the ISIL.. it was for one upmanship ..

As a senior citizen of India living in Mumbai I am alarmed at the insensitivity of our youth I will never post a picture of a dead child dead bodies it is the duty of the Press , I will not provoke an already burning issue.I feel for Gaza Palestine nt only as a Muslim but as a citizen of the World .. one can blog , but writing abusive condemnations is not going to halt this madness .

Back to my picture post this was the second shot of the man lying there and I was shooting in the dark from the train going to Ajmer .. and to tweak this picture originally color to BW via Aviary has taken me 9 hours .. I refuse to use Photo Shop or Pic Monkey as a Pro Flickr member I use Aviary  as a Flickr editing tool and neither  @Flickr Help Or @Aviary on Twitter are any Help anyway.. The Flickr Forum is usurped by overzealous Flickr intelligentsia that has no love for lesser mortals here who type with one finger to blog their pain.

I use Flickr as a blog platform I dont need to showcase just my pictures and my grandchildren both Marziya Shakir 6 and Nerjis Asif Shakir 3 shoot more sensitive pictures than a lot of blank profiles on Flickr.

Lovers On A Cart ..Two Bodies One Heart

I am your moon
and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden
and Your water too
I have come all this way
eager for you
without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
to dispel all your worries
to love you
to nourish you
Oh sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I too have been covered with thorns.
The springtime of Lovers has come,
that this dust bowl may become a garden;
the proclamation of heaven has come,
that the bird of the soul may rise in flight.
The sea becomes full of pearls,
the salt marsh becomes sweet as spring rain,
the stone becomes a diamond from the mine,
the body becomes wholly soul.
Rumi

Indians As Indians Dont Really Care For India Or Indians

Were it not for
the excess of your talking
and the turmoil in your hearts,
you would see what I see
and hear what I hear!

Rumi

Majority of Indians I have seen having lived in Mumbai almost 59 years are mostly Hindus or Muslims or other religious denominations ..the spirit of India comes for a short while during our Independence day or Republican day a farcical show like Valentines day to appease our Flag and the chalk faced politicians .

Here in Mumbai people dont feel or see they just charge home from work or from work to home , they tell me wow you shoot great pictures and I only shoot what they fail too see , our so called Indians are immune to beggars , accidents on the road and so many other things,

But God spare you if you come in the way of the Indian in his car in a hurry , you dent it accidentally you will be beaten black and blue and when you really hope a cop will appear he will be discussing the weather down the road with the cobbler .

I am a photo blogger I see a lot of pain on the streets and I wonder why others dont see it or feel it , there are some who feel only for dogs and cats but never for the little child that was bitten viciously by a dog.

I mean how can we fight with our neighbors and because of a loudspeaker that disturbs everyone's ears ,end up with an uncalled riot beats me .

Still I think Mumbai is more sane as compared to some cities in Uttar Pradesh.. and now i wonder why I am writing all this ,,
I shoot pictures from moving trains , taxis rickshas but I do capture the ethos and the gist of a situation.

And this was one picture I shot from a Mumbai train going to Ajmer Sharif.

The Biggest Pain In The Ass At Flickr Is The Aviary Editing Tool

most of the time it does
not work takes 3 hours
to process and than makes
me feel like a bloody fool
"there was an error saving
please try again okay "
the shittiest editing tool
at first i thought it was
uber cool tweets to
@flickr help @aviary
no response very
cruel..i feel i am
back standing on
a bench in school
the most inefficient
aviary editing tool
the indisputable
flickr forum queen
says use pic monkey
adding fire to fuel
a kick up my colored
ass from a stupid mule
i sit like a dog in a
manger motions
running stools

RIP
Aviary editing tool
accidentally drowned
in a swimming pool

Love is the Water of Life. Rumi

Together in pain and happiness
living on a cart two lovers yes
jummah masjid gate no2  is
their permanent address
the filthiest part of delhi
gone to seed our faith
our heritage nonetheless
but these two lovers
conjoined in height
left behind by snow white
simple souls god bless
surely to stay here they
pay the cops the local goon
sharing their earnings
under duress they are
seen by foreigners
tourists bloggers but
never by the chalk
faced members of
the press ..not a
good story ..rape
sodomy political
shenanigans is
what they shoot
to unduly impress
two lovers  caught
in a vicious grip of
fate ..fighting all
odds ..more or
less ..

ask them who is in power
who is the new PM.. they
have no interest .. with
every new government
since independence
jummah masjid is a cesspool
of filth apathy neglect ..as yet
who really cares for muslim
areas muslim ghettos muslim
slums an eyesore ..tete a tete
acche din for poor muslims
shall never come ..be my
guest  welcome to delhis
ugliest nest ...my case
as a beggar poet from
mumbai i rest...

The Delhi Aam Admi Is In A State of Comatose

after 49 days
of power dharnas
came deathly throes
the greatest protest
to fight the elections
all over india was
what he chose
chapter closed
the battle of
varnasi a fatal
overdose
trampled rose
the flesh was
willing the soul
stubbornly froze
now trying to
awaken itself
as the ranks
close a poetic
pause as prose
a broom lies
by the wayside
once active
in clearing
dirt now
in sweet
repose

politics is not only about honesty
it is about good governance
shrewd application of mind
a peacock among crows

Mother I Am Confused ?

As Muslims
why are we
persecuted
murdered
bombed
by organized
terrorist jews
elsewhere
muslims love
killing muslims
as hate spews
sectarian strife
spiritual abuse
is this the message
of the holy prophet
brotherhood peace
or is it bloodshed
we must choose
justice hanging
by the noose
the muslim man
the shia the christian
to a dead body
reduced ..the world
powers bunch of
eunuchs reading
the daily news
bemused .
who will stop
the jehadists
boko haram
imperialistic
hegemony
of petro powered
American backed
Muslim hating jews

I talk of the political aspect of American and Jews..
