Three Cheers To Our Fab Four! Dear Readers, What a proud and inspirational start to the year to see our Parsis and Zarthostis being honored for their brilliant achievements globally and nationally! Hats off to our Mumbai’s very own Padma Shri Dr. Tehemton Udwadia for being conferred yet another prestigious, top civilian honour – The […]
Dear Readers, As we head towards celebrating our 68th Republic Day next week, I can’t help but reflect on our diminishing presence in the Armed Forces – perhaps an obvious corollary to our dwindling numbers, or worse, a lack of interest in being part of India’s highest and noblest bastion. For a long time, Parsis […]
Dear Readers, We are an active community. It’s been yet another action-packed week as some of us decided to take up a vociferous stand on yet another issue. Fortunately or unfortunately, most of the action takes place only on social media, not in real life. This time it was the Anjuman in Navsari signaling […]

Discuss, Don’t Cuss! Dear Readers, Once again we find our community vociferously stepping up the heat on social media about multiple issues – the most aggravated one being the outrage of our community members regarding the annual Doongerwadi Heritage Walk, where a small group of students studying Comparative Religions is educated about our final rites […]
Dear Readers, Would you believe it’s December already? Seems like just yesterday when we stepped into 2016 and already we stand on the threshold of 2017! How time flies! We can’t help but look back on the year that was… on the things we’d planned to do this year, and smile on the memories of […]
Dear Readers, I understand a lot of us would be excited to read this editorial based on the above headline, hoping to find innovative solutions to help garner some ‘change’ – the most sought after commodity currently in our country that has gone into chaos, ever since our PM proclaimed the ‘D’ word! Now that […]
Dear Readers, Let’s face it. Us Bawas are an opinionated lot. We love our opinions but we love sharing our opinions even more! It is this love of opinionating that has seduced us into making digital and social media, which offer free-for-all platforms like Whatsapp and Facebook, a greater part of our lives than most […]
Dear Readers, It can’t be said enough. This past week will go down in Indian, American and global history for witnessing two of the biggest upsets ever, in two of the world’s foremost democracies!
