Dear Readers,

The festive season is always the best part of the year, especially for our small but fun-loving, close-knit community. A large number of our ‘vhalas’ – relatives and loved ones – return and converge in Aapru Bombay to enjoy all the festivities – from lagans and navjotes to some of the very best, fab and fun events the community has to offer.

Witnessing reunions and spirited camaraderie amidst families and friends is as much a delight for us at Parsi Times, as it is a privilege to be Media Partners with some of the community’s biggest, most sought-after events of the year… be it the global mega-event – the IUU or ‘Iranshah Udvada Utsav 2024’, which returns this month, after a four year hiatus due to the Pandemic, to be held from 27^th – 29^th December, marking one of the largest platforms for Parsi/Irani Zoroastrians worldwide, to come together and celebrate our unique and extraordinary culture, religion, achievements and unity… or the famous ‘Masquerade’ New Year’s eve bash, by Dadar Parsi Colony Gymkhana (DPCG), inarguably the biggest and most exciting way to welcome 2025, along with family and friends, across all age groups, revelling in the perfect atmosphere of fun, festivity and food, with leading DJ Aarish, pumping up the mood and the energy along with the volume, yet another notch, year after year! An exciting December ahead, indeed!

Don’t miss your opportunity to partake of the asli fun essence of Parsipanu, with family and friends, right from bidding the perfect farewell to this year, to welcoming the new year in the company of those we love and cherish! All you need to do, is be there… and enjoy!

Have a lovely weekend!
