The Drum Makers of Mahim Causeway

Ustad Zakir Hussain

is their patron they say

each morning with agarbatti

for the soul of Ustad

Abba Allah Rakha they pray

yes they are Hindus

this is Guru Parampara a Puja

their way ..the drumbeats of silence

the whispering ocean at Mahim Causeway

the tal mel sur at their shop on display

a today weeping tears for a lost yesterday

modernity lost cultural heitage

what a decay ..

percussionist ponderings

on a sketchy sunday
