walking barefeet in the rain
once i am dead and gone
all my blogs will go
down the gutter in an
unknown zone of
an open drain i have
told my children
in the event of my death
to delete my flickr
account my last
will testament
simple and plain
goodbye hjras
goodbye street photography
good bye lal bagh chya raja
good bye jesus
good bye marziya
goodbye everything
blogged by a comatose brain
as i move my pedantic
pompous ass
in the nether world
to another domain

good bye shias
shah ast badshah ast hussain

people
in high position
elected by the people
who fuck the nation
for personal profit
collective gain
common wealth
uncommon refrain
the soul of
a nation stain
tainted tragedy
corruption scams
remain sack one
bring in another
money rules
money reigns
investigation
eye wash
take the public
for a ride
down an
open drain
soon everything
will be forgotten
the indian
common man
has humility
patience
alas no

Close to the 1000 Light Mosque is the starting pouint of the 7 Moharam juloos of Chennai a very long procession hand matam on the way and some blade matam but no head cutting or kamazani this juloos ends with tabaruk being served at the ending point which is a Tamil municipal school.

It rained quite a bit and because Mesaq had given me an umbrella I managed to keep my camera intact and shot the entire juloos barefeet.

It was to shoot this juloos I arrived the night before to Chennai and shot the 6 Moharam juloos too.

This juloos passes through some posh areas of Chennai.
