Nitin Manmohan Prachi and Soham
Nitin Manmohan or Nitinji as we call him is my ex boss..I owe a lot to him, I owe a lot to his daugter Prachi too, I ran Nitinjis fashion studio about a decade back it was the most famous Bollywood store called Prachins.
But than my mom died and her last wish to me was to start my own .so I parted with Nitinji,with a very heavy heart.
But we keep in touch , and this great man, a prolific filmmaker , is very reputed name in the film Industry, Neha Arts his banner has bought out some of the most memorable movies.. Insaf, Mahasangram, Eena Meena Deeka, Bol Radha Bol, Army , to name a few.
Here he is with Prachi and his son Soham a whiz kid..future hotshot director you can be sure..he is very brilliant studies in Switzerland.
But this familys entire credit goes to Nitinjis wife Dolly Nitin Manmohan.
She is the success story and the three are her golden dream.

Dont read much into these pictures I was worried that the cops might hassle me if I got out or stopped the cab to shoot pictures so I shot from the cab , the windscreen was m,essy , I had touse the patch tool to get rid of the scum and dirt.. but than being a Bandra boy, if I can take that liberty I did shoot it finally.
The bridge is a beauty and will be the pride of Bandra Worli and Mumbai..it becomes our citys new land mark.. yes it does replace Gateway of India and Colaba is the place where I lived half my life.. I studied and did my home work at Gateway of India when things were bleak at home..
Later in life I worked at the Burlingtons of Bombay Taj Mahal for almost 7 years.
I could have shot better pictures but I guess it was not my day.

The Eunuch Goat of Moti Katla
they castrated him
pulled out his testicles
he wept made no noise
a feminine male goat
he had no choice
eve teased by billy goats
horny boys
every body
wants to hump
him his eyes go moist
even old men in slings
with tools
they cant hoist
a eunuch goat
of moti katla
sacrificial
no choice
peddling his posteriors
to rickshah driven guys
some toy boys
even a few who
take him turn by turn
in the rich mans rolls royce
a loaded dice
called hobsons choice
stamped on his bleeding ass
article 377
may all you rejoice
Legalizing Gay Sex and the Hijra
She requested me not to shoot her picture , she had a few days back got married to her toy boy,they had come to Ajmer Sharif to place a chaddar on the fulfillment of their marital bliss and were really taken in by each other.
This was much before gay sex became legal in Delhi..I told her I would shoot her back, she agreed , and I have not directed the shot ..it is natural and spontaneous as you can see ..
Now Gay Sex is became an issue with the Catholics they say it is against the nature of man and god, it should be banned., the Muslims the Hindu right wingers all are up in arms..including the Sikhs.
However Article 377 the draconian sodomy law is against the fundamental right of man as far consensual same sex goes..it was a guilt of the fucked Englishman dumped on the soul of our nation, a nation that gave the entire world the manual to make sex without just being missionary..we gave them Kama Sutra ,they turned it upside down and gave it back to us as porn..this is what you call the western mans sense of ingratitude and sick sense of toilet humor.
Well I am ambivalent but as a friend of the hijras ,a marginalized society of untouchables I feel its time we became more mature more tolerant to changing times..gave people the basic rights to live they want to live without hurting the sentiments of the nation, terrorism is worse than issues of same sex, or gay sex , they should be bought under the scanner..
Homosexuality has always been there and will always be there law or no law , it has survived 149 years of being criminalized , I think making it legal was the mature and finest acumen of judgment on the part of the erstwhile judges of the Delhi High Court.
