To celebrate Parsi Time’s seventh Birthday, seven couples from Meherbai’s Mandli met at a restaurant called ‘Seven Seas’. The khanar-pinar group ordered Seven-Ups for all and seven fish-specialities of grilled baby-lobsters, spicy tiger-prawns, chilly-crabs, tandoori-squids, fried boomlas, Hydrabadi-pomfrets and jinga-biryanis. Banoo Batak: Number seven is very significant. Even the human body changes every seven years; each and every atom […]
Everywhere in Nature there is perfect unity and harmony. Only humans are destructive. We destroy various species of birds, reptiles, animals, even entire forests. Today, there are hardly any one-horned rhinos in Assam because they’re killed in the belief that their horns have aphrodisiac properties. The number of migratory birds in India is dwindling due […]
Why do bad things happen to good people? They happen because of their ‘Karma’. What do we exactly mean by karma? Is it a punishment? Is it a reward? No! It is payback through divine intervention, a universal method of checks and balances. It is divine-mathematics – a ‘spiritual law of cause and effect’. It […]
This year’s April Fool’s Day was celebrated by Meherbai’s Mandli, a little in advance, in the last week of March. It was a very special ‘April Fool’ for all Indians as three Chalak and Chatur businessmen i.e. an Air-line tycoon and two diamond merchants made a complete fool of our banking system by doing ‘Haoodas-Chaavdas’, looting and scooting. […]
. The first sign of life began in water due to molecular synthesis, ie., the interaction of extreme hot and cold temperatures within the thermal-vents of ocean-beds which gave birth to the first amoeba, generating a rich biodiversity right up to the giant whale. Later, great civilizations existed along river-banks like the Egyptian on the […]
A few days before Jamshedi Navroze, Meherbai’s Mandli met on the lawns of a posh upper-crust club for dinner and the conversation turned to the good old days or Asal-no-Jamano since they were all super senior citizens. Meherbai opened the topic with a keynote speech saying, “Our previous generations of Parsis had nothing compared to what we have […]
Michael Volin was born and educated in China where his grandfather, a Russian Czarist general, had been stationed at the turn of the last century. Perhaps, because of his grandmother’s deep interest in spiritual matters (she was an acquaintance of Madam Blavatsky), Volin got deeply interested in Yoga and philosophy. He travelled extensively acrpss China, […]
Celebs are larger than life and live life King-size. Ordinary people envy their lives but in reality, their lives are ‘good from far but far from good’. Yet, however imperfect their lives may be, celebs inspire awe, passion, frenzy and a huge fan-following during their lifespan; but in death, they zoom to an iconic position, thanks […]
In Hindi films, there are various shades and gradations of colours and emotions in all Holi-sequences which have nothing to do with colour therapy. These scenes are virtual-unrealities which you will never find in real life. To begin with, there are very happy and colourful Holis like the spectacular one in V Shantaram’s ‘Navrang’ with Sandhya […]
All thought is energy. It has immense power. It can create your surroundings. A thought can heal or harm another. Be careful of what you create – healing or harming – because it will come back to you like a boomerang as your outward circumstances – either as lots of health, wealth, peace of mind […]
We all love Pyar Mohabbat and Ishq in films but several viewers must be sick of those ‘star-crossed’ lovers, in films from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s era, who drowned their sorrows in songs and worked off their calories by running around trees. Haai Re Kambakht Ishk! Take teenage romance for starters which has tremendous potential. Even Shakespeare’s […]
