Pictures of heaps and heaps of stinking stagnating garbage that every morning

Before going to play tennis I shot ..

The apathy the neglect if our new local representatives of BJP ..the eternal rot this dump was going to be a ladies toilet last year the site was blessed by Advocate Ashish Shelar our MLA but what we got is an absolute Naught ..

This unholy spot ..on the soul of Modiji

Swach Bharat ignominous blot ...Ache Din ..only with money can be bought

15 lakhs yet to be credited to our account

I think our dynamic PM after the elections

Memory loss easily forgot ...

Said the Bhakt who trolls me on Twitter

Fuck so what we are better than Congress ..we gave you a Congress free Bandra on the dot ...

We gave you beef ban ..bar dancer ban ..

What we preach is what we taught ..

This was the era of Ms Priya Dutt MP and Mr Baba Siddiqui MLA Congress Party ,, and now in 2015 we have a new set of Bandra ministers Ms Poonam Mahajan MP and Advocate Ashish Shelar MLA both BJP .. our new custodians ,, though the civic corporator is Mr Tanvir Pate of the Congresas Party,,, I dont think he knows about this dump.. the most famous iconic dump of Bandra ,, photographers from all over the world come here to shoot this art form.. the smell , the urban chaos decay and the lilting reminder of mortality and morbidity ,,

My grandchildren got their first lessons in street photography shooting this garbage dump..it is one of its kind and it is prominently placed at Bandra Bazar Road once the heritage and crown of the Bandra Bazar gaothan.

This part of Bandra has gone to seed ,,more than 1200 images and over 80 videos renamed as a set Swach Bandra Bazar Road and Garbage porn.. it will always be here unless the Chicken market shifts to Vashi.. and Mutton and Fish and Buffalo or Buff Meat are banned too.

I call this the Temple of Garbage of the Lord of the Flies ,,young students of photography come here to shoot it too and I am waiting to do a fashion shoot here ,,,

Sadly the residents living here next to this dump hardly care a shit , instead they love and glorify it with dumping their own garbage too.. now we dont have a Mr Rishi Kapoor here , or this place would be as beautiful as Pali Hill..

At Bandra Bazar even the youth are stunted dwarfed and have aged seeing this garbage all their life ,, the slum kids come to play here , women scavengers come here to search for food , meat fish prawns ,,

There was a huge photo op by the BJP party to build a ladies toilet a bhumi pujan but it has yet to see the light of day.. BJP is the only party that promises the sky the moon and the stars ,, but leaves you with Thulla .

I voted for Progress and Development and frankly a Congress Free Bandra and despite the shortcomings of the BJP I will still vote for it as there is no other alternative this side of Bandra .. the Congress decimated demolished the ex ministers hardly come our end ,, The Am Admi party sent us Phiroze Palkiwala .. and we could have had a better choice with Mr Ayub Khan.. a sincere humble Bandraite by birth and not by choice ,,

So these are early morning stray thoughts as I go through my Flickr archives that disappeared for a few minutes last night causing sheer pain and trauma at the Flickr Forum..

My 355000 images came back ..miraculously ,, my entire wealth so to speak poetically and visually ,,

The Mad Lady of Bandra Bazar

She is one of the many I shot and they come make Bandra their home in transit.. They do not talk they display no emotions .

This lady passes her time killing the ticks on her body with both her fingers.

It takes a madman to shoot mad people some are dangerously volatile but you take a chance when you shoot them.

There was another mad lady a devotee of Durga who walked on our steet with a mobile phone talking to Modiji and telling him presumably about the people who harass her abuse her and she does not let go off the stone in her hand.

I bowed my head walked up to her she lifted the stone so as to hit me I looked deep into her eyes with compassion she put the phone down and hollered and cried I touched her on the forehead she quietened down all I said was Jai Mara Di.

Now I have not seen her for a long time.. but I shoot madpeople like case study.

There is a Madman called Mastan at Dargah Fakhruddin Shah baba always dressed in dirty black clothes I shot this bearded giant at Ajmer too.

He reclines outside the Dargah I offer him tea he smiles he does not beg but he tells me not to shoot him but I shoot him when he is not aware of my camera simply because I can't tell a story or compose q poem without a picture.

I have shot mad children too there is a mad girl I have not seen her for a long time she begs and tells people she will pray for them.

I don't recollect when I began shooting mad people lost tribe of a God gone mad.. I find them I shoot them.

Madpeople is a sensitive documentary of people with imbalanced minds I once met a crazy mad man at Dadar East he was dressed in red like a Sufi I shot his video he called himself Imam Ali.. And he was an interesting character told me the world was coming to an end..

This world my surroundings my street is a mini lunatic asylum and I shot it's denizens as and when I spotted those who flew the cuckoos nest come back again to roost ar Bandra Bazar Road.

If I had God given powers to heal them I would because healing them would be healing the madness within me.

There is one madman who is absolutely crazy he used to sit beyond the Ram Mandir at Bandra Bazar road a bearded filthy dirty guy I would buy him tea.. He would disappear for months years and than come back again he is still roaming the streets but when I see him he looks through me and walks away..

I will shoot him..

Check out my madpeopke story at my Flickr photo stream.

garbage as fine art

beauty and ugliness

shot from the heart

swach bharat modijis

clarion call to the nation

at bandra falls apart

eyesore and warts

we love dirty filthy

surroundings ..

a journey as we

chart of a city

renamed Mumbai

from Bombay

reboot restart

I shoot this dump every morning in order to awaken the soul of Mr Ajoy Mehta head honcho BMC ,,One day I am sure he will see it and make amends understandable that this is a market dump but can it not be managed without making it a eyesore for others who walk pass this place..

The local representatives the lone Congress Corporator have never seen this as civic sense in this part of Bandra is not as important as Pali Hill Bandstand or Carter Road..

Now imagine the Bandra Slums a few notch below this area .. the Bandra Bazar Town market will one day collapse held on bamboo beams .. and than perhaps everyone concerned will wake up..

One thing I am sure if by chance PM Narendra Modiji visits the house of BJP Mumbai President Advocate Ashish Shelarthis garbage dump will have a huge screen with a banner welcoming our dynamic Prime Minister .. no garbage no garbage dump.. for sure till that time we suffer , and those who see my garbage pictures day in and day out suffer too..this is a lone bloggers battle ,, and luckily I am not documenting any murder crime ,, standing outside Khar Police Station.. lol

This morning I made a solemn promise to myself I will not shoot garbage and a few steps I floundered and decided to take one shot and break my vow of not shooting garbage , but I did not shoot garbage as I moved ahead towards the MET Cricket Grounds for my morning walk at 7 15 am.. the garbage at the Transit Camp close to the MET Gardens was tempting but I let it go.

I walked 4.58 km.. and my leg still hurts ..and will Bandra ever be Clean and Green .. the Bandra where I stay which compared to Bandstand Carter Road and Pali Hill is the other side of Midnight ,, Bandra Bazar Road .

The residents of our area are not vociferous , they have been emasculated completely sadly we have no Mr Rishi Kapoor to fight our Hill that is going downhill,,We dont have a Mr Prem Chopra or a Mr Vishal Dadlani or Manish Malhotra .. we have a bunch of shadowless residents who have their own problems that are greater than passing by this eyesore of a garbage site .. thanks to chicken shops mutton shops fish market and the rest ,, and our area has not been ear marked as a hawker zone ,, our Bandra Bazar Market is pitiable , roads have to be reclaimed from road side shops , and people selling vegetables fruits on the wayside , the traffic here is really traffucked , and the filthiest dirtiest ugliest and smelliest market of Bandra is the Bandra Bazar Fish Market .. but our Koli fisherwomen to have given up the fight ,, this is a heritage market with two marble slabs giving the history of this Market in real bad shape .

For 15 years this place was under the stranglehold of Congress that let it go to seed , there is a lone Congress Corporator his irony to fame is putting paverblocks and sharing the credit with the ex Congress representatives ,, and this is how he spends his funds ,, but I doubt if he has even seen the state of this Bandra Bazar Dump.. will he put paver tiles here ..I dont think so.

So I hope to stop shooting garbage once the new BJP local representatives wake up to Swach Bandra before they move to Modijis Swach Bharat call.. and get their act together .. I have no other agenda , I have no ulterior motive and I am unlearning photography shooting Garbage ,,

AndI one good thing people are now liking my You Tube videos ,, and a journalist from London sent me a message they would like to shoot Intezar Bhai Qureishi of the Bandra Bazar Beef Market ,,they liked my video on him..

And most Chinese folks have begun to subscribe my Bandra Talao ear cleaner video,and I hope to join video editing classes soon as my luck changes for the better .

After the Inaugration of the Art Gallery at Bandra reclamation will our dynamic PM Modiji visit Bandra Bazar Road to congratulate BMC H ward for the great work they are doing in garbage management ..promoting the essence of his pet theme Swach Bharat.

She is the most sprightly lady , does all the domestic chores , loves her husband dearly , she has a son three daughters , she has seen a lot of pain lived all her life in a tenanted house , sharing a common toilet ,,but she had faith and after almost 37 years she got her own place close to the place she stayed .and in the area she loves defends Nakhas Bajaza.

She came to fetch me at CharBagh station ,made great dishes for me , and I bought her oil for her bad legs ,,

She is a Tabaraie ,, defender of the Shia faith to the core , if you dare say something bad about Imam Hussain or The Ahle Bayt she will simply give you a tight slap..you dont mess with this diminutive lady ,

Once during the unfortunate Shia Sunni riots she stood out on the streets with a rolling pin.. she is a pucca Maulaiee ,, this lady s father was the most respected revered Shia from Kashmiri Mohalla Zakir Hussain BUL BUL SALWATI .

Her father in law Dr Matin Qazilbash married second time and her husband gave a way all his property to his step siblings and lived as a tenant at Hashim Building .

Earning from Diamond Cassettes promoting the Majlis of Maulanas big and small but than when bad times came no Maulana was there to help them out , my father in law Abbas Qasim being proud never licked their spiritual ass ..

And here I must reiterate Maulanas mostly help those who bow to them kowtow to them this is sheer hypocrisy among Shias too , the rich wont ever help the poor ..and it is tragic to say the least I am a Lucknow born but Mumbai gave me love shelter and this well being in return I buried both my mom dad in Marathi soil ,,,Yes Mumbai is my Dharam bhumi not just my karambhumi .

My wife has lived in Mumbai for 38 years but loves Lucknow , and comes here by train to attend her mothers majlis and leaves back the following day ,, so this time I followed her to shoot Chehlum second time in the city of my birth.

Perhaps it is the blessings Janab Kalbe Abid Sab gave us in 1977 26 November when he solemnized my marriage that though there were bad thunderous marital clouds of discord our marriage has survived the test of time.

And when we were leaving for the station to return to Mumbai Wassim Baji as I call my mother in law began to cry like a little child she insisted on dropping us at the station.9 pm in the night our train the Lokmanya Tilak was to leave at 10.45 pm

This is love you seldom see sadly I have no parents so she touches me at the very soft spot of my scarred soul.

I wanted to leave this space blank but I finally spilled the beans .. trying to give you a character sketch of the bravest lady in Lucknow hardcore Modiji fan..yes she says very proudly Ab Ki Bar Modi Sarkar ,,

Most of the Shias are Modiji supporters .,,,the poor and the poorest of the poor I mean.

And this is my humble tribute to my Mother In law I deliberately shot her blurry but she is a very beautiful lady in her heydays she was called the Saira Bano of Lucknow .

Her family hails from Siwan Bihar .

The Sufi man shooting my picture

I looked at him in wonder as he is a devotee of Nagpur Baba and he answered me without me questioning him he said Urus of the Holy Saint of Nagpur was on but he could not make it.

Than he said we should both go together one day I said Inshallah.

I live in a very peaceful area of Bandra a cusp our building is on both sides one side Bandra Bazar other side Bandra Reclamation.

People here keep to themselves.. Shias Sunnis Hindus Christians Dalits Parsis all respect each other no communal strife or differences.

We have Maharashtrians Konkni Muslims Bhaiyya Migrant caterers all busy in their world.

Advocate Ashish Shelar ji lives in my building. He is the Mumbai president of BJP.

Late Mr Harshad Mehta owns 3 flats in our building ..Late Mr Sultan Ahmed had his office in our building.

The Congress followers BJP followers Shiv Sainiks MNS followers followers of Mr Rehbar Khan his wife Ms Mumtaz is our Independent local corporator she beat all the major party stalwarts live in this ward.

Zahid Khan has his followers to he represents Mr Narayan Ranes Swabhiman .

This is Congress free Bandra the last ex local Congress Corporator did his term left.. No one remembers him.. He left no legacy..

Our area has Dandiya and the Sunni vaz going on at the same time no issue each to himself.

The Shias are more on the other side of Bandra Bazar near the Khoja Shia Mosque.

The only landmark to our iconoclastic area is our garbage dump you can just come to my house by sense of smell.

It's the most famous garbage dump even Modijis Swatch Bharat Mantra could not save it.

Politicians who visit my area avoid this garbage dump even as a photo op because this is real hardcore garbage

The Municipal conservancy staff my best friends tell me even after a bath the smell of garbage does not leave them.

Now they wear it as CK perfume.. Their wives get upset if they wear anything else.

Garbage smell is a unique fragrance dried dead fish bowels intestines it's like a musky Attar..

I have spent 12 years living close to this garbage dump and it is a living entity it cannot do without me everyday I pass by to play tennis it taunts me Hey Dude Big Man why are you not shooting our video.

I hit back in one voice Shut the Fuck Up.

I tell the garrulous garbage dump soon they will be building a toilet here... Lol

The garbage dump living entity shuts up completely.

But the neighborhood do not want a toilet they prefer the fresh shitty fragrance that comes from the Bandra Reclamation Promenade and Rang Sharda Defecating download points.

So these are some stray thoughts before I shut Fuck my Facebook shop and hit the sack.

And the tallest tower is coming up in our area the speciality of this tower for the newly Rich you can see any part of Bandra from one of its windows and you can even without using binoculars count the sun burnt asses shitting mountains of faeces at Mahim creek.

And I would request Mr Sonu Nigam not to buy a flat in this tower even if the builder gives it to him free as the azan here is so loud even without loudspeaker s.

Good night Shabba Khair.

The Lost Jewel of Bandra

#bandrabazarroad ..

An insult to civic sense and Modijis #SwacchBharat .

People living in ivory towers don't use this end of the road . t.co/35PWQ3SHu1

I have just come home showered had my dinner and I have had a very hectic day I left Bandra at about 4 pm took a train to Charni road to meet my silk supplier from Bhagalpur at CP Tank I had to pick up some silk fabric for a dear friends grandson so it was ordered from Bhagalpur and it arrived today .

From CP Tank I walked to Bhuleshwar shooting pictures on my Canon 7 D I hardly use this camera that was a gift from my ex boss in 2011 I use the 60 D mostly that actually belongs to Marziya .

I came to Zaveri Bazar here despite the markets being closed because of the gold bullion dealers indefinite strike it was crowded by cops and a few protesters these are the workers of the jewelry shops and because of the strike have no work no money to feed their families most of them are migrants from W Bengal and are returning back to their hometowns disillusioned demoralized so much for Modijis Acche Din and Sab Ka Sath Sab Ka Vikas I shot their video to let their voice be heard on You Tube I finished my work got what I had come for and than went to catch a bus but first I met my magician friend Altaf Moosa he sells magic tricks at this Abdul Rahman Street bylane that exits out towards Zakaria Masjid ..he is a very interesting guy I shot a few frames but will shoot his video next time ..

I caught a 51 no bus and met my bus cunductor friend but impulsively instead of taking a ticket for Bandra I decided to take the bus to Santa Cruz to my dyer I was to collect my new saffron dyed safa 9 meters and a handwoven shawl I dyed muddy earth brown for a change I have too many blacks than I took a ricksha back home 10 pm .

The khichiya papad I had after I had walked from CP Tank via Bhuleshwar to Zaveri Bazar ..I was terribly hungry and one papad costing Rs 10 filled me up there is another one with lot of garnish but I avoid it .

My papad is simple with green chutney and red garlic chutney I requested a guy to take these shots he was reluctant at first I told him I was not a God Man just a fakir ...My attire confused him and so did my rings and my 9 meter Safa.

I shot a video of the khichiya papad guy and the cops all armed watched me curiously from a distance .. but some know me by my uncrooked shadow lol

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Indian_banknote_demonetisation anniversary...

I began walking since 10 Feb ..I walk for about an hour ..

For instance okay I left my house wearing a new pair of non branded keds ..as I normally walk barefeet or wear slippers I was wearing my wifes keds ,,

This morning I left my house at Bandra Reclamation at 5.40 I walked all the way till the end of Bandra Reclamation beyond the bus depot and took a U turn from Agasty building ,, last building there .. I reached there at 6.09 and walked back via Leelavati Hospital to the MET Grounds to the second part of my walk..

I entered the grounds at 6.15 am .. took 10 rounds the ground is 280 mtrs I was out by 6.45 am than took some street shots of our famous garbage sites at Bandra Reclamation a BJP stronghold and Swach Bandra to me is an impossible dream simply because the residents mostly slum dwellers dump the garbage in the most abominable manner the garbage bins overflow and the garbage is mostly aimed to the bin but fails to make its mark..

And the garbage bin outside our erstwhile MLA Advocate Ashish Shelars office is another ugly site , here to the slum dwellers throw the garbage outside the bin.. and the Bandra Municipality is the laziest it hardly has staff that can implement Modijis favorite Swach Bharat Abhiyan..and I say all this as a Bandraite , and this part of ugly Bandra has literally gone to the Dogs.

And I dont merely talk I show it with pictures be it on my mobile hone and it is a sad display of peoples love for filth that they will throw carelessly on public property and roads ..

Neither am I an activist or member of any political party I am a resident of Bandra if it hurts me I am sure it should hurt my MP and my MLA too... our Congress Corporator wont even come to this side of Bandra because of the recent Congress losses ..is all I can think in his defense.

He is an old face at our Bazar he sits across Pahelvi Irani restaurant.. selling lassan Garlic.

I shoot the Marathi Manoos their struggle humility and he is a vendor but has no stall most of the Marathi vendors here have been selling fruits vegetables on this old narrow winding road.

The dreams of having their own hawker license and cart is a very distant dream.

Most of the older Marathi lady vendors have passed away their progeny sits in their place.

They are a vote bank but they are not as vocal as the Dalits or Muslims our politics has always been religion and caste based.

During elections canvassing politicians from all parties dangle the elusive carrot to the Bohras Jains East Indians Muslims Shias Sunnis are promised the skies but once the voting is over and the winner goes on a victory march he forgets them for full 5 years.

Be it Congress or BJP all are same..

Winning is what matters..

Once they win the local representative becomes aloof distant and inaccessible you have to grease the palms of their henchmen and chamchas.

None of the Maratha parties have done anything for the poor Marathi Manoos at Bandra Bazar.

I speak as a senior citizen having lived in Bandra for last 30 years.

Nothing will change and Modijis Acche Din are million light years away.

I am not a member of any religious or political party and it saddens me to see the state of the sons of the soil.

Living in Mumbai I can imagine the plight of the farmers to make a point to the government of the people by the people for the people they had to walk in scorching heat 180 km from Nasik to Azad Maidan.

And they have been given a gilded plate full of promises.

They have to wait 6 months before they can take a morsel of the plate.

Jai Maharashtra.

Ever since I can remember I have had no issue with a persons religion at all I hardly had Muslim friends as we were totally isolated living at Wodehouse Road for about 10 years , here it was Rayo a Parsi Vimal a Buddhist and Keith Kanga the sole Jehovah Witness ..

Once we shifted to Strand it was Dennis a Catholic ,Hassan Jamadar who expired at an early age a Muslim... and the rest of my friends from the Mulchandani clan all Hindus ,, and my entire school life was with Ramesh Mulchandani Strand Hotel.. Bharat Sundar Pradip all Mulchandanis ,, going to the Cheti Chand na Mela .. going to the Hanuman Mandir standing in a corner as my friends prayed for their results and I am sure they prayed for me too as I always came first in class at Holy Name High School.

Later as adults we moved out to a wider periphery ,,came the riots 93 ..and the entire city was polarized ,,it was perhaps very late early 90 I made Shia friends and giving up alcohol taking up the camera I began to document my Faith along with other religiosity .

In 2003 I was introduced to Sufism I documented the Rafaees and than made my first trip to Ajmer Sharif in 2005 and met Peersab Fakhru Miya Hujra no 6 ,, he became an important teacher and my guide and it was in 2003 I met Shree Vijay Giri Maharaj Naga Sadhu Juna Akhara while shooting Kumbh Mela 2003 and he became a Guru too.. through him I shot the Maha Kumbh Mela 2013 and the Nasikh Kumbh 2015 .

In Bandra I was very close to the Catholics Darryl Fabian Clarence Gomes Merck Desilva Fr Jaun Fr Lawrie ,,, so it was a rich tapestry all wires connecting to a single mother board .

I have had Hindu bosses I think this is what saved me I doubt a typical Muslim boss would have understood my restless soul and my love for Freedom I had good Hindu bosses Mr Arjun Daswani Charagh Din , Mr Andre Kapoor Mrs Munni Gupta Burlingtons Taj , Mr Kishore Bajaj Badasab Bandra , Mr Nitin Manmohan Prachins ,, and finally I sought redemption becoming my own boss .. there was a stint at Muscat with Dr Hamed Al Riyami Tecodev and Hon Mohomed Moosa Undersecretary of Finance Al Anwar from 1980 to 1982 ,, never went back to the Gulf ever ,, I think there is more money in India than anywhere in the Gulf if you have the honest skill to tap it.

The most important influence in my life has been Mrs Punam Sinha and Mr Shatrughan Sinha ,,the first thing I did on reaching the Kumbh Mela Trimbakeshwar sent her a message this hardcore Bhakt of Shiva .. who has visited all the 12 Jyotlings.

I promote Hinduism as Hope and Hindutva a Message of Universal Peace over 66000 Hindu blogs ,,part of my cultural inheritance ,. I became a Malang in 2011 under Syed Masoomi Baba .Asqan Madari.. so I began promoting peace and humanity and Sufism.

But whatever issues about the meat ban during Prayushan totally politicized by vested interests and the Jain community leaders keeping quiet ,, till that time the placing of the Meat Toran on a Jain Daresar was the last straw , I mean it not only hurts the Jains but our secular sentiments too.. and those guyss posing outside the Daresar need to be booked .. this is not the spirit of Mumbai this is hooliganism goondaism and is this why Rakesh Maria was shunted to give such elements a free hand beats me .. this is not the Hinduism I respect revere and promote ,, and where is law and order and progress and development I am addressing this to our erstwhile dynamic CM Mr Dev Fadnavisji..

I am hurt as much as the Jains tomorrow some issue will they place a Pork.. Toran outside a Muslim Mosque or Shrine..is what I want to know,..

I have recently come back from the Kumbh Mela Trimbakeshwar Ramkund and my 3500 blogs in the Nasikh series dont touch on this ill-will or humiliation and million light years away from the 93 riots when we lost everything at Khar Danda .

The Jains are Indians .. and certainly not terrorists to deserve such a treatment at all This is not progress or development nor is this Sab Ka Sath Sab Ka Vikas ,, as preached by our visionary PM Mr Narendra Modiji..

Discipline is the means of achieving liberation.

As gold does not cease to be gold even if it is heated in the fire; an enlightened man does not cease to be enlightened on being tortured by the effect of karma. Lord Mahaveera

I am living in this part of Bandra for over 14 years both during the Congress rule and now the BJP rule of 4 years nothing has been done to implement better garbage management ,, and Swacch Bharat keep India clean clarion call of Modiji our dynamic PM has been sabotaged by those who govern us in Mumbai and the BMC..

This place is utter chaos during the rains to add to the problems id the Chicken trucks that come to the Bandra Bazar market traffic snarls and school children reaching late to school.

I have shot over 200 videos but even the new local corporator of our area has not addressed this problem and the blame game continues.

Many foreigners photographers come to this iconic garbage site to shoot garbage as Fine Art ..

Soon this place will become like Mahalaxmi Dhobi Ghat hopefully ,,, the beggar kids of our area could sell poster cards of the garbage and tourist photographers could take your photo next to the garbage dump make more money than they do at Juhu Beach,

Be it #Congress or #BJP Nothing changed Hon @Dev_Fadnavis Ji @CMOMaharashtra MS @poonam_mahajan MP #BMC I have posted over 200 videos on #YouTube but to no avail.

This is my first stop I pay my solemn tribute to the Lord Of The Flies ,, This is Gods other Temple where Man where godliness is reflected through the garbage ,,

And since the time we came to live in this part of Bandra it has always been like this or worse .. it did not matter to the residents or the people that live around this holistic spot , it did not matter to our BJP Mumbai President who lives two buildings away and this has nothing to do with progress or development ,,

But I assure you if Hon Narendra Modiji was to visit the BJP President for tea ,, would you see all this ,, tell me honestly ,,Bandra Municipality BJP volunteers would go out of their way to showcase their efforts cleaning all this hiding it beneath the red carpet ,, Modijis Swach Bharat ,

15 years of tepid lackluster Congress Rule ..it was the same , and despite the Congress civic presence it is is worse ,, this entire stretch is like acid bomb , the stench the filth , all the markets around this place are fulsome ugly dilapidated , the mutton market looks like a dungeon , the chicken market is to some extent cause of this misery , the trucks that take over the garbage dump..see my videos you will feel what I feel ,,

The roads recently repaired by the Bandra Municipality are shoddy pathetic and repairing roads is a money spinner .. we all know it ,, but what can we do .. The Bandra Municipality has made the soul of Humanity into a eunuch .

And my grandchildren honed their skills in photography shooting this iconic garbage dump.. the ugliest place in all of Bandra ,, this place will always be like this even after I am dead and gone ,, because this is the fucked destiny of Bandra Bazar Road .We lead ,, you dont have to follow says this garbage dump..

I wish our MP who reads all the newspapers read blogs and a few tweets ,, but than she lives on the better side of Worli ,, it hardly matters to her ,,but it does matter to me as a senior citizen as a photographer poet and as a man who goes for his morning walks ,, mothers who walk their children to school from here ,, hardly anyone comes to shop in this Municipal Market .. the worst in Bandra , during the rains it reaches its lowest mark..

This was once a great part of the Gaothan and East Indian Pride but they killed it all.. the few East Indians original inhabitants live like strangers in their own area ,,

So I now get ready to go for my 8 km walk.. I bought a silicone gel insole for my Puma keds ,, I think I have flatfeet ,,

Happy Morning,,

I left my house at 6 am and first shot this iconic garbage bin near the open toilet dump off Rang Sharda.. I now know most of the dumping sites of Bandra west .

At 6.20 I reached the end of Bandra Reclamation I shot another garbage bin and the area round this last bin is deplorable adjacent to Agasty building.

I reached the MET Gardens at 6.30 did 11 rounds and at 7.30 entered the Gen Arun Kumar Vaida park for my free hand exercise and after 15 minutes walked home again shot the Bandra Transit Camp garbage , than took a short cut to Bandra Bazar via the Sunni Masjid met a butcher friends son coming out of the Mosque and educated Muslim told him of the garbage close to the Mosque , he said he pays people to clean it but people throw garbage in the night , he has a butcher shop off this iconic garbage site .

Than I shot more pictures of the ugliest dump of Bandra Bazar this time the Municipal conservancy staff were cleaning this horrid horrendous dumping site and they were grumbling they dont have gloves , safety shoes masks .. and than I wondered with so much money with Mumbai Municipality and the call of Swach Bharat by our erstwhile PM Mr Narendra Modi why is the Mumbai Municipality not taking it seriously ,,

And Modijis Swach Bharat Abhiyan at Bandra Bazar and Bandra Reclamation and in the Bandra slums is an utter failure and why does our dynamic Chief Minister Mr Devendra Fadnavis not take action against the shoddiness and sloppiness of the Bandra Municipality beats me ..

And Bandra Bazar is a BJP new stronghold , which the Congress lost the same reasons of neglect and apathy. I think the CM and our local representatives should wake up to this menace to society , open garbage house of swine flu dengue and other garbage related ailments .

And these pictures I shoot are as is where is but as the Bandra Municipality is not on the web or even on Twitter they will never see or read my blogs ,.

As a senior citizen photographer poet I shall keep on poeticizing the pain of the Bandra Am Admi .. shooting garbage pictures every morning when I set out for my walk at Bandra Reclamation.

And there are a lot of pictures ahead all shot on my handy Motorola G..No Nexus Plexus or Sexus.

i shot pictures of garbage much before Modiji with the Am Admis broom gave the pretentious Swachh Bharat call but cleaning the system police judiciary bureaucracy media was more important crooked politicians scams needed to be overhauled child rape, acid throwing molestation provoking sectarian hate bride burning womanhood battered mauled nothing much has changed no acche din ever since your government was installed the poor man under the weight of his sufferings like an insect crawls ,,sab ka sath sab ka vikas only rhetoric hyperbole the poor man with his fate against the wall..has been eventually crucified doomed after all faces roaming the streets like zombies gloomy deathly pall

The Last Temptation of a 65 plus You Tuber

I began posting videos at You Tube very recently though I joined You Tube in 2008 :

I was not very crazy about video's at all my genre was still photography.

But today within a few years I have 5500 videos shot as is where is mostly on my mobile phone without snazzy editing or glitz.

My videos are my textbooks of education divided into many categories Shiasm Sufism Hinduism subdivided into other categories.

I have crossed over 37 Million views.

As the oldest You Tuber attended a few You Tuber meets met young passionate You Tubers chose one aim is to have a million subscribers.. I am not into such subscribers I hardly add subscribers.

I am confused about You Tube though I abide by You Tube rules regulations.

I don't shoot porn at all nor do I shoot videos to hurt other communities but than I can in no way stop people from reporting my videos as they consider Shiasm and Sufism as heresy.. The Ratib rituals Moharam Shia bloodletting that are part of my documentation.

People report my Naga Sadhu rituals that I shoot Ling Kriya penile yoga my account was penalized twice for a Naga Sadhu ritual and a slide show on Hijras that had no nudity or sexual explicit stuff .

My account was marked and I was banned from uploading for 2 weeks.

So now I moderate what I shoot.. And it is tough .

All my videos are of educational creating awareness of people's faith beliefs culture ritual plus I shoot photo journalism events that touch or mold my city bomb blasts Farmers March Protest Dalit March Maratha Morcha other such events.

I don't shoot prank videos I don't encourage hate animosity I preach promote Peace and Brotherhood.

I shoot the Eid Namaz I shoot the Latin Mass I shoot Arti of Shri Shridi Saibaba.

I shoot every faith and yet I have to tread the fine line..

The Siddis of Gujarat and Baba Gor is the continuation of my Siddi documentation that I started 20 years back in the backlanes of Mahim Dargah.

My videos are shot from the heart I am not video editing savvy.. But I hope to learn one day.

I promote Tennis through my videos the first and perhaps the last sport of my life I have been playing tennis for 5 years under Coach Surendra Pawar Bandra.

I shoot Hijras I shoot barbers street performers..

And I shoot the pain agony of the much neglected Municipal Conservancy staff foot soldiers of Modijis much touted Swacch Bharat..

Last year I shot the walk of the Malangs Rafaee Qalandaris from Delhi to Ajmer.

Tell Me Honestly The Day Our Esteemed Prime Minister Modiji comes to Visit Advocate Ashish Shelar who lives a two blocks away from this garbage dump like me .. wont this garbage not disappear .

All the Kings Horses All The Kings Bhakts will be cheerfully removing it after all the Civic seat presently held by Congress has to be snatched to make a BJP hat trick at the hustings .

I know this is a Municipal market garbage dump but can it not be covered from mortal eyes ,, the stink here in the morning when children go to school is unbearable ,

And those holy saints who clean Carter Road Bandra Staion will never come to this place with sacrosanct garbage ,, Guess Why..

Because this is real garbage all the brooms of the Am Admi Party wont clear it .

Each morning the Municipal Conservancy staff tll me they clear a ton and half ,, and in a few minutes it gets filled up again

I feel sorry for them they have no safety shoes , no masks and they used plastic bags as gloves .

The Congress Corporator is merely a rubber stamp he has never come here at all.. and much of th blame for this goes to the the Ex corporators of this area and the Congress party.

At our Bandra Bazar Road market the hawkers the shopkeepers grumble nobody comes here ,, the local papers lick politician asses they will never highlight this never ,,

So I began shooting this as fine art I taught my grandchildren photography shooting this garbage dump.. and I told them earnestly if you cam shoot this you cam shoot anything in the world ..

Many foreign photographers are intrigued by our inhouse garbage a lot of them from France Amsterdam Australia Italy America UK have come and shot this dogpile ,,and thanked me profusely ,,this was the only genre missing in their pictorial repertoire .

Now believe the only photographers that will die before they shoot this are the grandmasters of defunct decadent camera clubs .. they are still limping on 3 legs shooting the old fucked masters ..the same fucked light the same fucked situations ,, and cameraclubs killed photography ,, much before vision could be born.

I made sure my grandchildren would never enter the portals of a camera club and be tarnished forever ,, I too am a product of the camera club.. but I flew over the fucked cuckoos nest ,,

I hardly call myself a blogger or a photographer ,,

I am a storyteller all I need is an image to tell my story..

My stories are all online ..I first posted them on Flickr but now that I have all of you as my good friends I first narrate it here at Facebook than copy paste to Flickr ,, pimping it back on Twitter till it rebounds on Facebook again..

Since the first time I shot the Siddi performers on the street leading to the Shrine of Makhdhoom Shah Baba also known as Kutbe Konkan at Mahim..I was fascinated by them and this was a chance meeting with the Siddis 20 years back.

I would meet them dance with them with both my two left legs but to my bad luck the ones I met were insular distant and introverted ,,, they were not friendly at all ..I dont blame them as they did not know my intentions my overtly sartorial outlandishness .

I dont speak Gujrati or I could have connected with them..

Years passed and though living in Bandra for over 30 years I did not know that they had a dargah at Dongri a replica known as Chilla of their patron Siddi Saint Baba Gor or as they call him Bavagor ..

I discovered this dargah recently or rather last year when I began documenting the Qadri Rafae Silsila inspired by my mentor Nasir bhai Norein Rafaee exponent of Ratib.

I went to BavaGors chilla and met the mujawir Rauf Makwa who turned out to be an old friend I had shot him at Haji Malang Dargah Siddi Chowk.. he told me about the original dargah at Ratnapore near Bharuch.

And I asked almost all my malang friends qadri rafaee friends none were aware of the date of the Urus of BavaGor ,,

I decided I would go and shoot it within the ocean of my soul the waves were lashing out the chant of Gor Gor Bava Gor ..

I left Mumbai on 27 March thanks to Sakil Sidi Sakil Sidi I got a room in a hotel 10 km away and I began shooting the Black Sufis

I shot with the vision of a poet which is million light years ahead of the vision of a photographer ,,I shot their hope their dreams their aspirations ..

Time was short and on the actual day of the dhamal it was so crowded that I could not shoot their Goma ..but I shot a few videos images to grasp the mystique of the Siddis .

I made friend thy promised to stay in touch some did but on the whole Siddis are not very sacred about new relationships with outsiders this is my personal estimation ..

I found many did not respond to my calls and I could not understand this the only person who kept me informed of the Urus of Bava Gor Dongri was Altaf Pappu and a post by

Sidi Mohammed Saboo Siddique on Facebook ,

Nobody informed me about the Null Bazar event thought I shot the Gusul and the Sandal halfway ,, I was too tired and disappointed in the Sandal there were just a few Siddis the Goma performers and Rauf Makwa Mujawir his son Razzak .

So this is my humble request to my Siddi friends on my timeline do invite me if you can..not for money not for fame I want to build the largest library online of Sddi images Siddi videos Siddi culture and most of all do invite me to a Siddi wedding in Jamnagar or Junagadh .

If any Goma event in Mumbai please let me know share your cell phone with me ..

Through your videos that I shot I have also appealed to PM Narendra Modiji Hon Rajnath Singh ji to help your race most of all help you with free best education help you in sports help you in vocational guidance ..

I have no agenda no ulterior motive buy yes I love you guys you are the best Indo African Rockstars ,

The images on this post were shot by me at Sandal of BavaGor Ratanpore ..

I also appeal to Imran Badshah Nazir Iqbal Sakil

Please help me from your heart in the selfless initiative ,,

A slum named after Mother India Ms Nargis Dutt ,a slum synonymous with urban ugliness chaos and regular demolitions ,..I shudder to think what Ms Nargis Dutt goes through ,,writhing in her grave as you pass by this slum , a garbage dump , children defecating on the streets , the pallor of failed poetry of life , fulsome fetid and always a vote bank , created by the Congress they say once upon a time ,,now barring a disinterested civic presence it is basically Bandra free of Congress totally utterly decimated first time in its political history ,,,

As this is a street blog and has no political plank , Nargis Dutt Nagar if the earlier Congress satraps wanted could have been a model slum , clean ,pristine but that was never to be , now sadly it is known for the wrong reasons ,I shoot it every time my cab or bus passes that way. I feel sad as humanity lives here in one of the most expensive real estate , but the way the way they live , even God would never want to live here ,, no effort has been made to rehabilitate it positively ,, touch or heal it ,, but everyone has politically made gains from the naivete of the denizens here ,,

Well Nargis Dutt Nagar earnestly waits for Acche Din.. a rapid stroke of the cosmic broom to make it a pride of Swach Bharat ,,, it also hopes for the enlightenment of Modijis misplaced balm called Sab Ka Sath Sab Ka Vikas,..

People used to once call it mini Bhendi Bazar but Bhendi Bazar in a few years will have Manhattan skyline with towers zooming into the clouds,,,while Nargis Dutt Nagar is slums rising high like a pack of cards , already survived a major fire ,,it stands on a timeless quicksand .

I shot this at 7.30 am today while going for my morning walk.. I had stopped walking for last three days due to my hectic schedule and even this morning due to the horrendous heat I had thought of skipping my walk..but the idea of walking in the evening at the MET gardens is chaotic with unruly kids ..in the evening the MET Cricket grounds becomes a Miya Park..of utter confusion and the security guards are too scared of being beaten by the Muslim kids so they shut their lips .. and the senior citizens bear the brunt.

I walked about 5 km came home slept and went out in the evening and shot the Ram Navmi Saibaba Palki at Jain Mandir Road Bandra on my mobile phone.

For me in the mornings there is no escape from garbage ,,god had decided that it is garbage I must shoot and end up as garbage once I leave this filthy earthly surroundings of my backyard..and for the dirt filth and neglect of Bandra Bazar Road the residents , the Bandra Municipality and the BJP local representatives and the lone Congress corporator are equally to blame ,, and whether one local representative lives at Bazar Road and the other at Worli matters not our area got defeated badly by its vote for the Modi Wave ..

And so I shall keep on shooting the insanity of my garbage moments , those at Pali Hill Carter Road Band Stand Turner Road Joggers Park dont have to face the agony of living or buying fish mutton no beef at Bandra Bazar Market , even God wears a hijab when he comes to shop in our area covered from head to toe with two slanting slits for eyes.

Modijis Swach Bharat is a total eyewash,, on the soul of Bandra Bazar Road.. instead of removing the dirt in our system , rogue police officials worse than terrorists , bureaucrat extortionists ,rapists child molesters , crooks in the Parliament and hoodlums murderers and cheaters we are busy trying to cleanse India by removing garbage generated by man with a lousy system of garbage management .

There is a huge group here at Lal Mitti that owns carts on which they sell peanuts , fried green gram or shakarkand sweet beet ,,

some sell popcorn , and they move about with their carts as far as Carter Road or Bandra Talao.

And they live on the carts and this stretch of Bandra Reclamation for miles has no public toilet , so you can imagine the chaos early mornings all rushing to defecate on the Mound an open toilet off Rang Sharda.

I am not a social activist , but yes as a senior citizen concerned Bandraite who voted for progress and development and acche din of Modiji it hits me hard.

Local newspapers basically trumpet the local regime season to season in Bandra ..this is my honest appraisal.. and why not the politicians keep them happy , the paper needs funds for survival ,,so be it .

Bandra Bazar Bandra Reclamation have gone to seed , and those politicians representing our constituency wont see beyond Worli Sea Face....so I shot misery cavorting with hope ,, the poor mans gardens near MET , every morning is a hub of hash smokers sleeping drunks , the security instead of sitting at the gate ,, sleeps at the back in their room..

Will our local representatives see all this ,, not now .. let them first finish beautifying Bandra Bandstand , Bandra Talao.. and before their term ends they might just do something .. to add salt to injury.

So as a hobbyist unlearning street photography I shoot all this and as photographer there must be a purpose to what we shoot ,, is it to enlighten or entertain.. who the fuck has time to shoot the homeless the beggars ..perhaps a few bloggers like me ,,if you have a camera bring it out.. dont let your cosmic eye rust ..

I thank Modiji for finally breaking his silence my humble best regards..

Progress development the only card

When will you break your silence on Akhlaq

Perhaps on your next radio talk...

Holistically heal the hearts of Hindus Muslims

Yes Sir The Nation is in Shock..

On the sad state of Dalits will you also take stock

the tragedy of being

firoze god almighty

has shut all doors

a tennis malang of

bandra once a well paid

well laid corporate whore

in a high end fashion store

a single occupation profession

others he had no money to

explore ..garbage as fine art

wont ever seem like an eye sore

humility is lifes essence and core

what god has given is sufficient

why ask for more and implore

said dear friend Meld hold your nose

a visual reawakened the soul of my

poetry ..the mind has so many words

in this computer store ..a lion is a lion

because of its roar ..sometimes a boat

sails on water it needs no oars ,,

photography for me has now become

a domestic chore ..shooting pictures

evolve as stories through revolving doors

this is my 10467 poem at @flickr

I have seen Omkar Shelar son of erstwhile Advocate Ashish Shelar , grow in front of my eyes ..from a little kid now a teenager with tremendous energy ..he would teach Marziya and Nerjis cricket and my grandkids looked up at him as their hero..

Omkar is both his mother , he has her beautiful smile that heals people and his fathers humility..dignity and decorum... And Omkars Labrador Lucky has been part of Marziya and Nerjis s childhood ,,Lucky is still in awe of them , gets up the moment he sees them and will never jump or try to lick them. like a wise old human he wags his tail and I still wonder who is his favorite Marziya or Nerjis.

Nerjis and Marziya both have been shooting Advocate Ashish Shelars Ganpati pandal ,, thus promoting the thread of my pictorial existence Hope And Hindutva as a Message of Peace Hope and Humanity .

Here I made Omkar my model , made him wear a turban and my stick in his hand ,,and he obliged obediently ,, he is a great model lol ..

However before I digress the core of this blog ,, and essence of the title of my blog ,, one day Omkar along with his classmates from Podar a young guy and this pretty witty Khushi Pathak , dropped in my house to interview me on Swach Bharat , while Omkar shot my video Khushi interrogated me like a professional ,, and I felt like a debutante ,,but I talked and I can talk a lot on Swach Bharat as I have been shooting garbage dumps much before Modijis Swach Bharat mantra was born,, socially or politically .

The documentary was for a school project they told me , and Khushi Pathak this exuberant young lady added me on Twitter ..and I follow her .. she was to got to Paris and I gave her my dear friend Laurent G s details , Laurent is a master of Photography and a hardcore Indophile , he madly loves India as much as Indians love him madly including me .

Well to cut a long story short , after the interview I too got hooked to video , I had never used this medium I preferred traditional photography ..I began shooting the common people gradually , ear cleaners , garbage sites and all inspired by Omkar and Khushi ,, my mobile phone became my video camera , and I am learning to shoot on my Cannon DSLRS through You Tube tutorials ..I shoot bhajiwalas , beggars chaiwalas , barbers and yes I will soon interview Omkar and Khushi,,, who gave this old man of 61..some hope of making this world reachable through videos ,,

And this is my early morning blog ,,I have shot over 200 videos on You Tube ,, I make it a point to shoot 3 or 4 videos as I go for my walks every morning ,,both my granddaughters are vacationing with their mother but Marziya 7 year old too wants to shoot videos like me .. photography and video are mediums that add zest to life ,,I started out very late in my 40s , Nerjis and Marziya began their tryst with photography when they were 18 month old ,,and as poet photographer humanitarian I think photography changed my life ,,now along with my 337,166 Photos at my Flickr stream I have 200 videos shot as is where is without editing at ,,I have decided to learn film making and editing too..to be able to tell street stories there are millions of street stories waiting to be shot ,,

Thank you parents of Omkar and Khushi ,, you are gifted with very bright ingenious kids ..

And we are all talented but we need inspiration it can come from kids too..

This is perhaps the dirtiest place in Bandra Bazar Road , and the fish market is held on pillars and will soon fall on those who come here to buy fish.. total neglect apathy ,, thanks to the Bandra Municipality , the ineptitude , and lack of vision and foresight .

I mean the local representatives barring one have lived here yet they too seem to be helpless , they are busy adding beauty to where their vote banks exist , the roads were repaired but in such a shoddy manner that it is an eyesore .

The residents really dont care , if there was some will within them this situation would have never been there in the first place ..the youth of this area .. they are listless most were lackeys of the decimated Congress Party ,,,and none of the political parties not even the erstwhile BJP that gave a death blow in both the elections really care. ..

But I know the day Prime Ministe Modiji comes to visit BJP Mumbai President Advocate Ashish Shelar this place will transform into another chapter from Swach Bharat ..I can say this with moral conviction..or I will eat my words , the BJP Bhakts , volunteers even the residents will leave no stone un turned to welcome our dynamic Prime Minister .

In the meantime we suffer , with the open drains garbage dumps and chicken trucks ,that have no mercy for the residents living here ..

No ladies toilets and sadly this area was a total Congress fortress and the Congress party did nothing 15 years they vilified the ethos of this beautiful East Indian Gaothan.

Sadly those who are elected from this area hardly love this part of Bandra ,,,I came to Bandra Bazar 25 years back but I love Bandra it has given me peace hope humanity ,, so when I see Bazar Road going to the dogs it hit me hard ,, as a photographer as a poet and as senior citizen..

It has a brand

Now it is a lotus

Earlier it was a

Traffic policewalas

Raised hand ..

My constituency

Nurtured by

Ms Poona Mahajan MP

Advocate Ashish Shelar MLA

Is a sight to behold very grand

Swach Bharat cleaning garbage

From the land but who will clean

The evil minds of cow protectors

Extortionists terrorizing Dalit

Muslins of our aggrieved

Motherland ..

Acche din I cannot understand

I don't want 15 lakhs in my bank

Account dear Modiji give it the

Farmers widows ..a thought I

Won't poetically expand ..

Progress development ..gasping in the

quick sand as a Indian and as a Muslim

I sincerely hope and pray you build the

Ram Mandir at Ayodhya as planned

But please spare the minorities as your

Pervading silence on the soul of Humanity

everyone misunderstands

As those that were once Kar Sevaks

Now in the guise of Gau Raksha Dal

have become a dangerous clan..

I have faith in you as the leader not of a

Political party or the RSS .

But our elected Head of our beautiful

Wonderful ..Land divided we fall

But united we must stand ..
