People behind the words- Mohsin Kadiri

Mohsin Kadiri. 18. Left school after Std. 8 and has been working in his brother’s air conditioning workshop since then. Mohsin is also the Khadim (priest) of the small durgah of Siddi Shah Moula, located in a building compound in Kachi Aali, Ghorpade Peth. He considers it to be a huge honour. He started writing the vartaphalak next to the durgah because he felt that whatever knowledge he was able to obtain from buzurg log (senior people in the community) should be passed on to other people. He gets the hadees (sayings by Prophet Mohammed) from the community’s maulana, who explains to him the meaning and writes them on the vartaphalak. Mohsin (in the center) with some of his friends on the occasion of the Urus at the durgah. He was in charge of the entire arrangements for the celebration, since being the Khadim of the durgah, he was the host for this festival.
