Marriage – Upheavals And Healing
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 […]
Meherbai’s Mandli Has A Lunch Date!
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.

Live Longer, Grow Younger!

Manthra is a path towards salvation – a secret and sacred key towards peace and bliss, particularly in […]
Mystical Goddesses Or Smart Women?
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’s Mandli Discusses Their First Love
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!” […]
