Today 23 January 2009 .I cross 7000 blogs in 23 days my highest posting in 19 months..I have done this working on Sundays and during the nights without coming into the way of my professional work as a gents couturier.Also because there was a lot of events to shoot ..specially Moharam , that we Shias celebrate for 2 month eight days.My G9  was stolen or I might have shot more , carrying the Nikon D 80 is a load on my mind.. and is not a friendly sight for my kind of street photography.All my friends at Flickr..I owe it to them, those who come to my photo stream, comment and have encouraged me.Also luckily the hate comments are down..I was a bit hot headed when I joined Flickr in June 2007 got upset on racist remarks  on my Shia posts, I hit back , now I have matured sobered down, I could not change my detractors I changed myself.. Because there is no Comment Moderation tool here at Flickr I delete a hate comment and block the person from further commenting on my pictures.On the whole Flickr has been a great blogging experience ...fabulous friends and contacts.I have learnt much from photographers like Kowalski , Dragon Fly..Aleem , Sarka, William the new friends ..and many others ..The older ones like Tom Andrews my American Photo Guru here at Flickr, Benn Bell, Yorrik Dread And Friar,Designldg, Marius Muscalu..Debbie , Bernie, Daikitora and many others to name a few ...I thank everyone here at Flickr.. for guiding me towards my goal..which is Photography is a  movement of Peace ...and Brotherhood...

Thank you Sachin

Also a clarification here at Indiblogger , I am a blogger and Flickr for me is the source of my Blogs, this post pasted here , was not for blowing my trumpet , but to show you all here that blogging is addictiveas breathing air..and if a blog is used constructively it is a holistic healing tool.

The Indian biased media with its inherent hate for blogger wring us all off as failed writers , already ignores our efforts , so if a blogger on cyberspace , farts , ****s sneezes hardly makes a difference..to main stream media.

It has never shown us the olive branch or tried to bridge the gap..

So as an Indian I blog the collective culture of my motherland , giving emphasis to all religiosity with my street photography and pedestran poetry..

I have already posted over  65000 blogs in 20 months at Flickr..

I thought youatthe forum should know the pain the angst and the temptaion of an incorrigible inveterate blogger ..Bollywoods Most Wanted  Photographer No1
