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

kava a heavenly high
at khushali
a gift of the persians
brewed as titillating tea
romancing old times
a dash of
squeezed lime
of wordless poetry
moghul masjid
gods wordly residence
the pond the fishes
my reflection and she
a blog goddess
who has almost
forgotten me
no credit
says the board
it costs only Rs 3

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
