I call her the Google+ kid and she was born as soon as Vic Gundotra sent us a Google+ invitation for a few street poems I wrote and Nerjis Asif Shakir gave birth on Google+ ..she was the youngest Google+spammer only one day old,..

And she began learning photography, the feel of the camera , the aura of the camera and the essence of the camera on the canvas of her childs consciousness ..

Now almost 9 month old she knows The Canon EOS 7D , the buttons the lens and the body..

Every Sunday I take them to the Market , Marziya Shakir 4 year old shoots beggars and Nerjis Asif Shakir watches hanging from my waist..I make her press the shutter and lessons she will not forget , and one day in a year or two you will see her as a Flickr photo stream too..

But first I must get Marziya a light weight camera as the Canon EOS 7D takes a toll and she has to balance herself precariously..

I sold both my Nikons she used , her own Nikon D 3100 is with her aunt an aspiring photographer too my only daughter Samiya.

And I have full faith in this child genius .. she is fast, a great thinker and above all a Malang like me..

depends on what
is your lifes goal
you marry a
dickhead he turns
out be an asshole
just fetid fulsome
flesh minus the soul
a tumescent tragedy
out of control unfurled
half mast like a flagpole

I gave up these swanky
corporate attire
I wire Malang clothes
to my hears desire
fuck shoes I walked
barefeet a designer not for
sale not for hire..

lafzon ko soch samaj
ke tol ansu sadak pe
gire anmol khule hath
bhikmanga main
waqt ka taqaza
kaisa jhol
chaukas duniya
lagti gol

we are
Indians
we abstain
from voting
on election day
our tents at Alibagh
we pitch we make
corrupt crooked
politicians rich
we grumble
we complain
we get fucked
we bitch
we bitch
we bitch
only because
of our attitude
our callousness
we fall in a
cosmic ditch
another
screwed up
5 years itch
