The Tragedy Of The Congress Party ,, The Cart Before The Horse





Outside the dirtiest filthiest Municipal park in Bandra the Congress Partys banner announces the new gym is its gift to the residents of Bandra Reclamation at Gen Kumar Vaidya Marg..
Without being cheek and jowl it is a great gift, but in a park like this where you hardly see the watchmen or security..
Yesterday drunks druggaddicts were using the equipment and they abound in this park.. the kids from the slums misuse it ..and as the kids slides and other old rusty appliances are soon going to fall of the kids make a beeline to this new equipment,
I called the watchman and he said what can he do, they hit him with stones , they pull out blades to slash him I told him why does he not inform the corporator Mr Tanvir Patel.. he said and these are not my words ,, that they came when the equipment was placed in the park got their pictures taken and now why should they come.
He looked a very scared defeated man.. and this is tragic.. and I was for once happy even Muslim ladies were using this novel public gym.. but imagine the risk to them from the hooligans goondas from the nearby slums and you will never find Bandra police here ..its pathetic,, and I think in a few months all this newness will go with the equipment parts being sold of to scrap merchants ,, the place were the gym has been installed is muddy soggy full of filth.
Thank you Congress Party you did one up on Ms Poonam Mahajans lethargic BJP on this park and its safety issues by installing the gym.. but what measures have you taken none ..zilch...frankly you are both two sides of the same coin..
This park is home for all the stray dogs of Bandra Reclamation.
And the 2017 civic elections is only round the corner and I am surprised that Mr Aditya Thackeray and Dino Morea did not think of installing their gym here ,,beats me ,,I did mention this several times to Mr Sudesh Dubey Shaka Pramukh Bandra Shiv Sena.

Ghar Ghar Islam ..




from the minarets of Delhi
ludicrously he shouts to
the rest of India ghar ghar
Islam but wont shed tears
on those Muslims living in
abject poverty begging on
the streets true representatives
of Peace Brotherhood in Islam
politically aligning with money
power the soul of humanity he
vociferously  spams .his defiant
answer to ghar wapsi
stupidly on the secular fabric
of our nation he slams ,,

I Often Wonder Do Beggars Have Dreams Of Becoming Rich Men




He thought I was a mystic
both beggars within a divide
dressed in my malang robes '
my rings barefeet a turban
on my head my true self from
him i tried to hide ..i told him
one day he would be rich i
truthfully lied ..he took me
aside ..he said my humility
please dont deride i am just
a beggar born a beggar on
the broken wings of poverty
astride ..my god is also a king
of beggars my mentor my guide
before he made me a beggar he
danced on my beggarly soul he
disturbingly destroyed my pride
hope cavorting with misery both
by my side ,,a dreamer within my
dreams ..he spoke to me in silence
his tongue tied ..demystified ,,
god is the giver god provides '
i looked at him stupefied ,,
spiritually strong fortified

Enslaved To Fashion And Style





Metro sexual Man
wonders what to wear
what not to wear what
to bare takes him a while
his face devoid of a smile
on the soul of sartorial
serendipity irrevocably
beguiled libidinous virile
change of hairstyle to
his cosmic fate lifes ebb
flow reconciled covering
his anatomy with textile
when saddened morbid
mawkishly infantile shedding
tears like a crocodile ,,
sometimes his mind slithering
into nothingness like a slimy
reptile his flesh was willing
his soul erstwhile perennially
in exile .. doomed and defiled

Bahurani.. The Dance Performer Hijra Of Mumbai




I met her lighting a cigarette at the pan shop in the Bandra slums I walked up to her and it turned out that she had met me a very long time back at Santa Cruz,,I asked her if I could take a few shots of her , she consented I shot 4 frames to add to my documentary of 20500 images of the Hijras of India shot exclusively for myself and disabled from public view ,,
She was going to a Muslim wedding Nikah with her troupe to dance but she was grumbling business was bad ,, and told me in chaste Hindi .. yeh mua acche din ne barbad kar diya hamko... translated she said that the promise of the elusive good days has destroyed her dreams and her aspirations ,,she went on nowadays even people have become stingy misers and dont empty out their pockets that thy did during the Congress times , than she elaborated she said there were more crooks scamsters scoundrels who were rich loaded now they have all disappeared .
I thanked her and after I had moved away I realized as an after thought I should have shot her video,, but I was in a hurry and had no time ,

Swach Bharat .. The Ethos Of India From Within Needs To Be Cleaned




our suited booted topmost brass
is busy selling India like no one has
 his deafening overwhelming silence
has its own quintessential class this too
will pass an incident in Dardi beef lynching
a man was murdered inhumanly grossly crass
you dont throw stones at houses when your
own is made of glass ..this cant be progress
development alas ..my vote made me a jackass
the soul of the minority community maligned hurt
harassed they needed his healing touch his holistic
hands on their heads ..not this fathomless chasm
tears on the soul of mohomed akhlaqs body lying
neglected forgotten an indian first on a bed of grass
