Goddess Durga Beckons -RIP Blogspot
All these pictures of Lalbagh Durga workshop were shot at my friend sculptor Mr Rawles workshop and unfortunately this year I did not shoot the Ganesha workshops both at Lalbagh and at Bandra .. so at both these places they were more curious to know why I had not come to shoot their work..a ritual I have religiously captured every year in the past.
But than being a Dam Madar Malang a mystic poet I feel I have to be beckoned , and even a bird cannot fly without the call from the Lord ..over the Holy Saints Shrine is a saying among Sufis..
This year I wanted to take my grand daughter to shoot the Bandra workshop but the rickshah strike played spoilsport ..or Marziya Shakir 3 and a half year old street photographer would have shot the Goddess too...
Perhaps it is a miraculous nature of divinity that Marziya Shakir has been blessed by what she shot ..all religion and the beggars of Bandra ..
I have eased myself out of Facebook only to redeem my soul that was choked in an abyss and was falling into the depths of cyber hell..I am now posting some of my links at Google+
I miss my Facebook friends but I needed a break and this enforced separation will serve as catharsis for them and for me too..
And it is sad that the developers made such a hue and cry about Google+ but the most decadent most un updated is Blogspot its an insult as a blogger to blog at Blogspot , with lethal unfriendly tools like Word Verification and at least Marc Zuckerburg has gone for innovations on the Facebook interface Blogspot needs a Biz Stone salvage them once again .. even Mr Vic Gundotra cannot save Blogspot .. Amen RIP ..

I Complete 199000 Photo Blogs At Flickr.com
199,008 items / 1,633,025 views
Without you out there , without my friends on Flickr Facebook Twitter Indiblogger I could not have reached this far, a journey that began here at Flickr.com in June 2007.. And above all I thank Flickr Support and Management , for allowing me to showcase my world and I thank Dr Glenn Losack MD who gave me two years Pro membership and this current Pro account that was given by a benefactor a person I do not know but who is my friend now..
I am a street photographer and honestly I shoot shit lying on the road obstructing my barefeet path , I shoot garbage , I shoot what you see I shoot what God shows to me and I shoot darkness in the soul of Man..
I dont promote any religion I dont proselytize I shoot pain as an Indian who calls himself a Shia Hindu.. I am perhaps one of those wretched unpublished poets of India .. I write the poetry of pain as I see it on the consciousness of my camera.
And when I die this account will be deleted for all you know , I have saved nothing I am a seashell kissed by the waves of time..
I will leave my camera eye to my grand daughter Marziya Shakir 3 and a half year old worlds youngest street photographer .. she will be the inheritor of my camera vision but not my dark world of doom or despair..
And I shall soon complete my 200000 blog too.. yes it is possible.. everything is possible as Anna Hazare has proven that a new world is possible provided we collectively make it happen..
And though my wife hates blogging , she gave me space , she cribbed she blew her top, we fought we still fight but than I am nothing a barefeet blogger a power bauble held in the destiny of a blog.. She gave life to it.. Thank you Dear One..
And I cheated on her was one of the reasons she hated my romanticism held to the soul of my angst and my blog..
And once again I thank Zain Hussain for giving my grand daughter Marziya Shakir a Nikon D3100 camera kit and this is one gift of friendship love affection I shall never be able to forget in more than one lifetime..
