My Haji Abdul Rehman Shah Malang Urus Documentary..

posted at You Tube Community

I shot over 70 videos and 3300 images at Haji Malang Urus 2019 . I was there for just 3 days thanks to a room and food given to me without any payment by Hindu Khadim Abhijit Ketkar and support of my friend Sakib Mahimi. Sakib has a hotel and a florist shop at Haji Malang. And Rahim Bhai owner of Titanic Hotel.

I had serious injuries on both my legs I had recently returned from KumbhMela Prayagraj when I climbed the Malangad mountains at 3.5 hours arduous tough climb. So now I am uploading the images I shot on my Cabin DSLR 60 D as a slide show. Images I shot as still are story board by itself.

I have respect for your views but I follow the traditions of my parents. I am the product of my upbringing and parentage.

 Though my parents lived in the beginning in the slums of Kurla in the 50 s they paved the way for where we are today. My brothers sisters are all well settled we still have our parents home at Colaba.

And all in all God has been great. He gave us even what we did not ask. Call him by any name He is our Benefactor Provider..

My reply to You Tube Trolls who attack me with hateful comments

posted at You Tube community Tab


Documenting the pain agony of the Mad People on the Streets

Society has no love compassion for these burnt out human souls ..

Society and the government see thing s in the perspective of votes

so you will see a lot of shelters coming up for cows and I am an animal lover

so I have no issue but as a senior citizen I find shelter homes should be there

for these mad people on the fringe .

When I was young I remember at Colaba where I stayed a few drunks had raped a mentally challenged woman.. it hit me hard and it influenced me as a photographer I give them money but does it mean anything to them .

There is a madman at Bandra Bazar my longest documentary I give him money I dont know what he does with but I know he is not a drunkard or a drug addict .

I used to feel sorry for a young girl living in the slums I would meet her I would talk to her and she would say she would pray for me .

I am not a writer but I have shot a lot of mad people stories

I have written poems I am unpublished poet ..but I have all my poems over 10 k at Flickr .com

A lot needs to be done about these restless souls specially women and mentally deranged children.

So I shoot pictures to make people aware ,, there is no agenda no profitability in photography ,

It is a a social service with my camera and my time..

Somebody on this platform and it is mostly misguided sanctimonious Muslims that attack me with vile comments ,, he wanted to know do I only shoot beggars or do I do something for them..lol

This photography of beggars is not abbot me but about them..

We stopped slaughtering the bakra goat almost 5 to 6 years we give the money to educate slum kids ..

God knows who I am what I am...

I acted in a film I got the money gave it to the poor ,,

So however hard you hit me below the belt I refuse to be a Muslim like you ,.. my upbringing my values bequeathed by my parents were different from yours ,,and I would pray to the Almighty never to make you or your progeny like me .

My only regret those days I did not shoot videos so I shot stills and it is risky when a mentally deranged will attack you is unpredictable .

Another person on this platform said it is between God and the madman why expose them..

Show me who shoots madpeople it is not about God or the madman it is about society and the government that have to holistically start thinking of helping them bringing them back out of their dark doomed cages and bring a smile on their face ,,

How do you expect me to answer a stupid and dumb question from a person this platform who hides his face his profile ,,has no content on his channel..just Tabliki stuff to brainwash people of their Reality .

I dont ask you to become a Sufi Shia or a Christian.. I hate conversions I donr proselytize or promote any religion not ven my Shia faith..

But if you only become a Muslim or a Muslim who is getting radicalized to join the ISIS to kill Iraqis Syrians Yezdis Jews ,,

I think you need help desperately ,,,

You have no right to live in a country of your birth and destroy it

This is UnIslamic according to me ,,

Yes my Islam of Peace and Brotherhood is surely different from what your bigoted

Mullah taught you .

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

― Rumi

RIP Coach Alex Vaz ex FIFA Referee ex Holy Name High School

Mr Alex  Vaz was our PT Teacher at my Alma Mater Holy Name High School Fort early 70 s.
He was a strict disciplinarian.. but was fun too jovial and would treat us with love and respect .
He groomed a lot of football players Roland was one of them..
I was not much into sports and did not partake in any one of them..I loved books and stood first in my class ..but sports games was no my cup of tea.

I am giving you excerpts from Midday ,, Mr Alex Vaz passed away yesterday he was ex FIFA Referee and FIFA referee instructor ,,he was 84 ..once connected to Holy Name High School and St Alexander girls school.
He is survived by 2 sons and 2 daughters ..
May his soul RIP..
This photo was shot during the Platinum celebrations at our school..which I attended with my best friend hotelier Mr Ramesh Mulchandani and Dennis Fernandes SA  Ram Parsani..
He will surely be missed .
Our Principal those days was Late Fr FX Fernandes lovingly called BOZO
