GSB Seva Mandal Lord Ganesha King Circle Dedicated To Late Mr Dinesh Pai

GSB Seva Mandal Lord Ganesha King Circle Dedicated To Late Mr Dinesh Pai, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

After I had shot Lalbagh Chya Raja , Mumbai Chya Ganesh Gully Cha Raja , and Tejukaya barefeet I caught a bus for Matunga as I had a tryst with a departed soul Mr Dinesh Pai, , he used to invite me to the GSB Seva Mandal every year , but than my own dear friend convener Dr Bhujang Pai had invited me too and Amit Pai son of Dinesh Pai..

I am very close to the Gaud Saraswat Brahmin community , and I am already crying as I write this , and this is what happens to me when I remember my friend Dinesh Pai.. I cried a lot at his funeral and the tears will never stop drying .. being a Shia Muslim tears never run dry.

So in the hot burning sun , with my feet in bad shape as I dont wear slippers or shoes when I shoot the domain of Lord Ganesha.. I reached Kings Circle , Amit took me in , I also met Ganesh Kini , Sunil Shenoy all old friends including Mr Satish Kamath and Gurunath Kamath..

I shot in silence , am nowadays not shooting much due tO uploading restrictions at Flickr.com , and for the first time I am resizing my pictures before uploading I shoot JPEG - RAW .

I spoke to Dr Bhujang Pai he was at the hospital , and was going to come late , I shot and than walked all the way to King Circle took a train ,, reached Bandra ..so after buying fishfood for Marziyas Tank I came home dog tired.

I am keeping all my other stuff on hold as Flickr wont be available tomorrow Friday between 9 am to 5 pm... so I am uploading GSB ,, first.. dedicated to my dear friend Dinesh Pai.. He never forgot me when he was alive so I wont forget him till I am alive .. specially when I shoot his divinity and his friends and community members .

I Hand Over Mrs Shatrughan Sinhas Monetary Gift To Lalbagh Chya Raja, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

Right from Dabbang till today I have been carrying Mrs Punam Sinhas monetary gift to the Lalbgh Chya Raja Pandal.
During the release of Dabbang she had given me 5 tickets first day first show for Raja , ladoos and the money .. so every year I come with her gift..

Here I handed over the cash to these guys , normally I give it to Raju Langewal or Mr Sunil Joshi..

Lalbagh Ka Raja gave me two darshans first I shot him with my camera without the memory card .. yes I am intelligently dumb and stupid too, than I came back with the ex CM of Goa Mr Digambar Kamat and shot him for real.

After Lalbagh Chya Raja I shot Ganesh Gully Mumbai Chya Raja and than Tejukaya barefeet , I took a bus from Lalbagh to King Circle and shot GSB Seva Mandal Lord Ganesha ..

I will post the GSB pictures after this than Ganesh Gully and Tejukaya I shot a lot of stuff beggars on the street
