Let’s face it… after that crazy catch pulled off by the fabulous AB de Villiers at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday night’s IPL match, we may as well change the phrase ‘Carpe Diem’ to ‘Carpe Di‘Villiers’! For our not-really-into-cricket friends – like some of my sports-virgin bawa friends committed to preserving our fair-skin legacy […]
Coz Mommy Knows Best! Dear Readers, Many of us, yours truly including, do not get terribly excited about the gazillion ‘Days’ that every month brings forth, instituted maybe with good intentions and valid reasons, but milked dry by their commercialisation. In fact, should you google ‘List Of Important National and International Days in the year’, […]
Dear Readers, It’s my privilege to celebrate Parsi Times’ Seventh Year Anniversary with you! Time surely flies by and your favourite little fledgling publication that kicked off on 30th April, 2011 has blossomed into becoming the favourite news weekly of the Community, across all age-groups, all thanks to your constant guidance, encouragement, feedback and patronage.

Let Us Not To The Endeavours Of True Minds Admit Impediments… Dear Readers, Our love for theatre is legendary. None of our New Year celebrations are complete without booking ourselves tickets for a good ‘naatak’ or drama. Over the past decade, our proclivity for drama seems to have overflowed beyond the theatre. We have progressed […]
The Chameleon In Our Blood Dear Readers, The heat is on… there’s red-hot cusswords on everyone’s lips, perfectly complemented by that dehydrated, prisoner-of-(summer’s)war look on most faces. Bombay’s reputation as the ‘melting pot’ takes on a painfully literal avatar during the summers. Even a measly fifteen minutes in the sun paints most of our fair-skinned […]
Summer Of Anticipation Dear Readers, It’s going to be a summer of anticipation for our community – locally and globally. On a local level, there’s a sense of eagerness and expectancy, as the community readies itself to witness new election campaigns battling it out over the coveted BPP Trustee seat which becomes available in July, […]
The Essence Of Easter Dear Readers, The summers in Mumbai, over the past few years, have been the harshest reminder of the maxim, ‘as you sow, so shall you reap’, with the rising greenhouse-gas levels increasingly heating up the summers, as we continue to, unfortunately, keep contributing to global warming. Temperatures have been breaking […]
Jamshedi Navroz Mubarak! Dear Readers, It is my privilege and pleasure to present you our Jamshedi Navroz Special issue, the central theme of which celebrates the integral Parsi spirit of enterprise… ‘Enterprise’ – one of the keystones that defines how our Community and our people are perceived, nay respected and loved, across this lovely nation, […]
The Messages That Jamshedi Navroz Greets Us With! Dear Readers, As a Community, we are indeed blessed twice over – celebrating not just two birthdays and two anniversaries in just one year… we even celebrate two New Years in one year! We have, as is understood by most, the March-walu Jamshedi Navroz and the August-walu […]
Dear Readers, Any news which shares stories of human interest is always bigger and more impactful. Human interest stories do much more than provide information or keep you updated – these have the power to touch you, change the way you feel, inspire or instigate you into action. With technological advancements over the years, the […]
What’s Your Stress Buster? Dear Readers, Time flies fast – we’re already nearing the end of the year’s second month. We take a few seconds to raise an eyebrow acknowledging this and then we’re back in our robotical grind. Most of us seem to operate on autopilot, whether that’s doing our job, taking care of […]
