Change The Face Or Face The Change? Life is characterized by change. As creatures of habit, that’s not good news for most. We constantly have to adapt to change – at home or at the workplace, with family and friends, even the househelp! We also have to accept those changes taking place in our physical […]
Digital Dilemma Dear Readers, The alarming increase in the accelerating digital addiction is more real than most of us are willing to acknowledge. There’s an increasing pathological over-use of the internet, where liking an Insta or Facebook post or retweeting a Tweet (now X) takes precedence over real life people and experiences, where children learn […]
Parsi Pride And Parsipanu Dear Readers, We enter the second month of the year with a renewed sense of faith and pride in our Parsipanu, as some of our stalwarts successfully restrengthen the glorious Parsi legacy, in terms of both – exceptional achievements and exemplary deeds of service.

I experienced the latter […]
Make 2024 Everything You Want It To Be! Dear Readers, Welcome to 2024! Hope the New Year has started off on a great note for you! A New Year brings with it a sense of hope, symbolising ‘new beginnings’… a ‘clean slate’ to start over… it’s like the universe giving us that encouraging pat on […]
Let’s ‘Leap’ Into 2024! Dear Readers, For some of us, 2023 seems to have swooped past us too soon, while some couldn’t wait for it to end! In either case, it’s that time again when we bid adieu to another year and look forward to a brand-new orbit. One of the best things about welcoming […]
Merry Christmas! Dear Readers, A distinguishing factor about Parsis is we celebrate every festival with zest and glee. Christmas holds a special place in our hearts perhaps because we resonate with its essential spirit of giving – in keeping with the essence of our very own Parsipanu, oft defined as philanthropy.

Maybe this is the downside of modern technology – it robs us, bit by bit, of our self-reliance, in the name of convenience. It started a few decades ago, with the […]
