Marziya loves all my exotic stuff , here she is wondering what it is to dress up like me at her tender age of 7 months.

Holding her for comfort is her Uncle Saif .

Marziya is our lucky charm, lucky talisman.

Laxmi and her Hijdas love the Hookah.
A nawabi pastime.
I dont drink smoke or fornicate .

My passion is capturing life
the hijda fary tale in a photo blog
on the other side of the human fence..
through the mystical intricacies of my lens
wisdom hidden in nonsense
eunuch faces wrinkled and tense
androgynous raptures
amorphous moments that
dont make sense
holistic hijda healing
that human souls cleanse
mysterious mind paths
crooked and dense
forget forgive recompense
humiliated insulted
disfranchised
marginalised
but dont take offense
hijdaeroticness
hijda suspense
on the face of society
without any expense

a malang gave me the shivas eye
for luck
he said
all good things
to your life will be stuck
a lotus rejuvenated
rising from the muck

5 month old
marziya shakir
she stares at me in wonder
her grand father
whose jewellery
steals her thunder
man from bandra
bazar road
once of colaba
bori bunder
what god put together
no racist poet can plunder
to the charms of a wily
blog goddess
I hereby do surrender

This is Marziya Shakirs day out at my shop, she does not understand the junk in my shop, luckily I sold out my old camera collection to a friend for peanuts, simply because I could not take care of it and it was occupying unecessary space at my shop..which is rented premises..

*These are pictures taken in March when she left with her parents for Lucknow to visit her maternal grand parents.. for two long months..

picture shot by my wife

she tip toed in silence
angelic face in deep slumber
into our lives in a hot and humid mumbai
24th november
a day that is inscribed on our souls
a day we shall always remember
a fire soothed by an ember
lens like camera eyes
marziya shakir
our very newest member

marziya shakir a human camera
with lens like eyes
shot by her grandmother
creativity as family ties
a grandfather
craziness poetic passions
that need no prosaic disguise
methodical madness
saved to web
optimized
it runs in the family
a part also a whole
a loaf and a slice

marziya shakir
need not wonder
one thing is certain
god did not blunder
his verdict
to send her to us
to his munificence
we surrender
