"per kya wo janti hai ke tum usase beinteha pyar karte ho?"

she was born blind and deaf i fell in love with the darkness that follows her wherever she goes a poem of her life ..the silence the serenity of her soul already mortgaged to another man..he is blind and deaf too...

eloquence of silence
greater than the
footsteps of her speech
she has shut herself
she is a specter
beyond my poems reach
although
i have deleted her from my
consciousness the iron
rods of my prison cell
she loves to breach
she belongs to another man
yet i call her on bent knees
with hope i beseech
a silence and a screech

lab pe ati hai bat kehte
hue ghabrata hoon
woh kisi aur ko chahti hai
main use bhool
nahi pata hoon
yeh bat sach hai
prashant
main use beintiha chahta hoon

Rat Ke Andhere Main

rat ke andhere main tumhare saye se lipat jata hoon
tumhari yadon ki barish main apni manzil bhool jata hoon
although I have deleted you from my consciousness
phir bhi tumse milne ki ek akhri as lagata hoon
lab pe ati hai bat kehte hue ghabrata hoon
yeh bat sach hai
tum kisi aur ko chahti ho main tumhe chahta hoon

The Holi Series Worli Koliwada Comes To An End

121,063 items / 790,985 views

Pandurang Kalikhan dropped us at the taxi stand , Jean Marc left for his hotel I returned home at midnight I posted pictures till 3 am , hit the sack woke up at 6 am again began uploading the pictures at my Flickr photostream, all part of my Hope and Hindutva Collection.

And Jesus and Mother Mary always keeps an eye on me wherever I go as you can see by the backdrop of this picture.

This series of 476 pictures was the most beautiful memories I captured of a peaceful community , this is my humble tribute to the Koli community of Mumbai.

And I am grateful that I shot this along with the worlds most artistic prolific photographer mater at creativity Monsieur Jean Paul Gargantiel of Reunion and France.

That he visits my city for the first time is an honor and a sense of joy and happiness too.

I met Jean Paul on Buzznet and we have been friends on the internet for last 6 years , he taught me much , without his comments his guidance his encouragement both at Buzznet and at Flickr I would have been incomplete as a photo blogger

It ws an experience watching him shoot low profile polite and becoming a part of the surroundings he shot the hallmark of a great photographer..

I was a Xmas tree on a Holi Day...my clothes saffron are part of my spiritual quest and ethos after Moharam .. when I wore black for 3 months.

Me Dancing With The Kolis

It was an honor to shake my legs and my barefeet , pictures of this dance were shot by my French friend Jean Marc Gargantiel at Worli Koliwada where we celebrated Holi with Manjula and Pandurang Kalikhan , and their large family and relatives and savored Koli hospitality love and parampara.

I shot 476 pictures in this series as my tribute to the Koli ethos of Mumbai.

And this is the first time in several years I did not celebrate Holi and the bullock cart race at Alibagh with Jayant Dhulap and his family.

I could not hold myself back, the Kolis are born dancers nobody can dance like them , and dance and connects them to time and eternity..
