I am keeping my GSB Seva Mandal Visarjan photos on hold to take you back to my street world , my world of unending pain remorse despair and there is hope as a 14 month old aspiring street photographer Nerjis Asif Shakir my grand daughter sees my world and shoots it too..
I told Maria who has sockets for eyes and who cant see anything perhaps only darkness that my grand daughter has come to meet her .
And Nerjis meets her first time their first meeting in soundless silence she gives money to Maria that I place in Marias tin beggar bowl there is another tin within the tin which she turns over , so that drug addicts who slyly put in coins and remove the notes from her top tin..when nobody is around ..she also ties the tin to the stump of her leg as they are capable of running away with it ..
Marias daughter Mary is a leper too, and sits at the other end of Bazar road close to Badri Bohra mosque .. Marys two kids are normal a boy and a girl both studying in a boarding school in Bangalore .
And Mary of late has become cordial towards me earlier she detested me thinking that I sold her mothers pictures , I explained to her my profession, told her that I was writing their stoy as a picture story telller and now she understands me better .
I gave Maria some old clothes , I give her money too..

My Grand Daughter Nerjis Asif Shakir Knows The World Better Than Kids of Her Age, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
Every week Nerjis Asif Shakir my 14 month old grand daughter saves money in a piggy bank and when she comes down with me she hands it to the Umbrella Lady of Bandra Reclamation .. she does it with sheer sincerity and as an aspiring street photographer she is perceptive to pain and the surroundings we live in..
The Umbrella Lady does not talk but has seen both my grand children grow as street photographers ..why street photography .. simply it is the greatest text book of life you learn and teach others too ...
Perched on my waist she sees the world I shoot and she shoots just like me .. Marziya Shakir shoots a larger canvas ..
The third grand daughter Fatima Zaira is 11 month .. old .. not so camera friendly.
Both Marziya and Nerjis use the laptop and the I pad ..
