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 […]
The first step towards rejuvenation is to understand the difference between the chronological and the physiological ages of the human body. We cannot change our date of birth, but we can alter our physiological age – which refers to the condition of our bodies. In fact, there is nothing magical about reversing the biological clock! Ancient […]
The Khanar-Pinar friends of the Mandli requested Meherbai to organise a thali-lunch. Gooli Google: It will be a change to eat from a silver thali. It’s so boring to eat out of kaanch-ni-plate day after day! Rarto Rohan: No thali business! We men like to eat motta-motta- gosh-na-bota! Mai-Kanglo-Minoo: I call it ramakra, just as I call my Dinoo ramakroo! Meherbai: Call them what you want, but in […]
The word ‘Metaphysics’ implies something that goes beyond the physical matter of our observation and experience. Avesta Prayers are Manthric compositions which have tremendous effects on the mind, our thinking, psyche, emotions and day to day life. Manthra is a path towards salvation – a secret and sacred key towards peace and bliss, particularly in […]
The other day, I was having a conversation with a 45 year old ‘boy’ who asked me to introduce him to an ‘extremely beautiful’ girl to marry and settle down with! “She should be clever, an absolute charmer, and intelligent too, like James Bond’s women!” he quipped, to which I replied, “But all those women […]
Meherbai hosted a simple theme-based Valentine’s Day lunch at her house. The Mandli was served heart-shaped pakoras as starters (with beer), heart-shaped pizzas and a huge, heart-shaped cake followed by heart-shaped chocolates. Everything was relished by the Mandli and as usual…, Keki’s Khadhri wife reminded her husband, “Keks! Go ask Meherbai if we can take home the left-overs!” […]
Ancient Indian writer, Chanakya said (in 275 BC) that the good and bad quality of your life depends entirely on your feelings. He wrote that if you wanted to change your health, money or relationships, just imagine and feel the love of having it. Imagine every person, scene and situation you want to be in, […]
The Bhagvad Geeta begins with the words “Yadaa Yadaa,” meaning ‘whenever’. Whenever what? Whenever humanity sinks into the depths of darkness and experiences the ‘dark night of the soul’! So what happens next? In every age, whenever there’s unbearable suffering, a prophet appears to rescue humanity from darkness and lead it into the light. What is the role of the prophet – […]
Meherbai’s marvelous Mandli met for the first time in the brand new year for lunch at Meherbai’s club to discuss their New Year’s resolutions. Keki Khadhro: First things first. Let’s order food. Polly Pipyu: No! First the hot drinks. Then food, along with cold drinks. Keki ordered large quantities, in the hope that he will take home the […]
Meherbai was a great influencer and role-model. She was the inspiration of her mandli-members because of her good advice. Ever since Meherbai taught them the health benefits of not eating after sunset, the Mandli met only for breakfast, lunches and tea-parties. What’s more, every member looked and felt fitter, healthier and ten years younger. A […]
