Meherbai was an excellent cook. She had married Meherwanji while still in college and had been cooking nutritionally-healthy meals for him, with the result that her hubby was, in his own words: “Fit as a fiddle and ready for love!” Being a good influence on her friends, most Mandli wives sacked their cooks and started […]
The secret of slowing down the ageing process is a clear understanding of the difference between the biological and chronological ages of our body. There are ‘young’ old people and ‘old’ young people! In the ‘Avtaar-Yoga’, the student is trained to forget how old he is in years and taught strictly to think of himself […]

Human beings are both, wise and foolish, at ANY age. We are either filled with optimism or soured by setbacks. We could be alive and kicking in our old age or silenced and numbed within the four walls of our home.

Meherbai gave a ‘Nostalgia Party’ for her Mandli and even served nostalgic food, like Kumas, Saandhra, Popatji, Malido, Varadh-varaa, Taari-Na-Bhakhra, Khaman-Ladoos, which hardly anyone prepares these days.

The year was 2000. We decided to travel to South Africa and spent almost three weeks there. Apart from Jo’berg, we visited Durban and Cape Town amongst other places, meeting and mingling with a lot of people. One fascinating story always stayed with me… it is about a woman with great supernatural powers. Standing upon a hill, […]

As I grow older, I get a ring-side view of ‘sick-marriages’ on the brink of divorce, even today. I try to heal such marriages by encouraging couples to create a loving, healthy and stable home for their children (if any) because there are no winners in a divorce – only losers. And the worst losers […]
After enjoying rollicking parties for New Year, Valentine’s Day, Holi and Jamshedi Navroze, the Mandli fixed another party for an all-inclusive lunch date. The idea was that a little bit of nonsense makes a lot of sense in life! This time they had two new couples in their Mandli – Dinamai Designer and her husband […]
