The Marathi Vegetable Sellers Grand Daughter Shot By Nerjis Asif Shakir 2 Year Old
Selling vegetables at Bandra Bazar
from one generation to the next .grandmother ,grand pa mother father and the rest ,have tried to give their grand daughter convent education hope for this generation next ..they are trying escape their world of illiteracy I wish them the very best .. no politician that harp on the Marathi Manoos sadly has done to rehabilitate them for better prospects ..
Getting their votes taking them for another 5 years ride .. a story board of their pain struggle hardship..a fighting test -
Her Grand Pa takes care of Jesus in the Grotto ..Sarv Dharm Ek All Faith Are One the only Motto this pilgrims progress ..living in peace with everyone as the main subject is what he with his dedication humility projects ....
Luke 6:40
“A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.” (ESV)
Simplicity shot by Nerjis Asif Shakir 2 year old
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
He is a Hindu who takes care of a grotto housing Jesus near my house , he and his wife are street vegetable sellers ..outside the grotto at Bandra Bazar Road , the grotto is a Portuguese heritage 16 th century ,,,
Elections come once in five years , but their lives status is unchanged , every rehabilitation scheme for the poor only made the politician builder nexus richer stronger and more corrupt..this is the reality of our times , the poor are remembered by the political party candidate only during elections per se ..after the elections are over it is back to reality for everyone including the neglected son of the soil , the
Marathi Manoos..
As yet the sitting MP or the AAP candidate or the BJP have yet not seen the plight the
filth the neglect in my area.. our democratic process needs to be made citizen friendly not just the poor the slum dwellers or the middle class or even the rich..
After the person wins he will come one last time with exploding crackers , drums known as the winning procession rally ,, than they will disappear for another 5 long years .
Those that elected them wont ever be able to reach them in their ivory towers ,only their chamchas will do your work for a price .
This is the sad effect of the ensuing Dance of Democracy, last two elections I shot this political drama on the streets .. all on Flickr .. this year I have turned my back on this political documentation.
I might take Nerjis who has shot this picture tweaked by me to shoot the streets on Voting Day 2 April Tryst With destiny and let her see the state of affairs the chaos for missing names on the voting list , dead members coming alive to vote and the Great Comedy Show of All Times Our Elections .
The very rich super class will be at Goa Murud Janjira Khim having a ball and will come grumble when the system fails .
We are not happy with any of the candidates in our area , their tall prmises we will be generously using the NOTA button..registering our Vote as a protest against the people we hope to vote out this time ..

The Healing Touch..
of a child ..
soft tender mild
in a world where
muslim beggars
are humiliated
racially profiled
demarginalized
reviled ..she
shoots their
pain pathos
street agony
nerjis asif shakir
my grand child
destiny touched
her smiled ..
her story
through my
poetry blogs
humbly
compiled
The Healing Touch
nerjis offered a tenner
to the wife of the blind beggar
tenderly she clutched as such
whispered softly to the child
nerjis thank you so much..
Beggar Beggar Shining Blind
Saying nothing... sometimes says the most.
Emily Dickinson
blind beggar and his kind wife shot by
two year old nerjis asif shakir ..a thought
divine ..two souls tragically entwined at
the mercy of god hope trudges from
behind..mortality vulnerable seeks a
sign..a pinch of happiness some sunshine
doomed destiny trembling doors of silence
faith underlined ..a parched pebble on the
shoreline ,,,the passion pathos poetry of
of mankind..

This morning I took Nerjis Asif Shakir 2 year old to Bandra Bazar Road for her photography tutorials , so when the policeman asked her where she was going.. she answered back ,,Dada Ke Sath Bhikari Shoot Karne Ja Rahi Hoon,, Her bond with the Bandra beggars is unique , most of them know her as she makes my wife shell out money to them when she goes to school each morning ,,
Nerjis can hold the Canon 60 D by herself but I am scared , so I help her .. the trigger pressing and the shots are all hers ..
Like me she is photo intuitive and will meet the choicest photogenic beggars on her path ..she will never take the camera before placing the strap-round her neck, some shots she sits down and shoots , so she may accidentally chop a bit of the subjects head ..
I hardly shoot pictures and have bequeathed the camera to her in my lifetime ...

Nerjis Asif Shakir Koli Konnection
Since a toddler Nerjis Asif Shakir has been close to the fisher women of Bandra Bazar Road .. and the best way to learn... or rather unlearn photography is shooting them, and the chaos cacophony of the dirtiest fish market in Mumbai.. the Bandra Bazar Fish Market .. what women empowerment and total Municipal political apathy..
Our Political netas corporators have turned a blind eye to this ugliness , hope Ms Punam Mahajan and Mr Phiroze Palkivala drop by and see it for themselves ..
Priya Ji has yet to come to our fish market her late father Mr Sunil Dutt Saab was an exception he did come here during the monsoons ..
