INDIA8855/ AHMED

i know AHMED

( I believe that is what he told me )

10-15 years

at Nizam Ud Din

the holy shrine

of this SUFI saint...

Because i am not fluent in HINDI

and i usually..............

 

NO...................... i always shoot alone!!!!!!!!

 

i am limited in personal information .

 

Ahmed weighs you

on a broken scale

then expects

BAKSHISH ( TIPS )

 

I am here every trip

atleast a dozen times

so i have encountered him

over 100 different visits to INDYA....

 

 

when I try to make eye contact

there is this initial avoidance of eye contact

 

 

he knows i am AMERICAN

or a foreigner

but i don't think

more than money (BAKSHISH)

matters to him.

 

he has a mutilation of his right leg... he does not suffer from

LEPROSY

he is though

part of the INVISIBLE

community i describe

those who

live day to day

hour by hour

from the ALMS

mostly MUSLIMS

give him
