. It’s been heartening to receive an overwhelming response from our readers to last week’s news in PT related to the ‘one day mass casual leave’ taken by BPP’s Class IV employees, especially the pall bearers at Doongerwadi, which created quite a furore in the Community; as well as loads of appreciation for Jimmy and […]
The practice of hoarding Trust flats by more than some community beneficiaries is, unfortunately, not uncommon in our Community. There are numerous Parsi families who continue living in exceedingly cramped and unhealthy environments because of their financial constraints, and to the horror of a dangerously dwindling population, many have chosen, for the same reason, to […]
વહાલા વાંચકો, આ વરસે અમે ફરીવાર વિશેષાધિકાર લઈ તમારી સામે પારસી નવું વરસ વિશેષાંક રજૂ કરી રહ્યા છે. આપણા જીવનનો એક મુખ્ય પાસાનો આનંદ છે આપણા સંબંધો.. જે આપણા સુખ અને શાંતિને સુરક્ષિત કરવા માટે સૌથી મોટો ભાગ ભજવે છે, સબંધો જે કુટુંબ અને મિત્રો સાથે છે, અહુરા મઝદા સાથે, આપણા શિક્ષકો તથા ડોકટરો સાથેના […]

Red Flags, Silver Linings I can’t seem to help but notice how some events, which have been unfolding in our community, seem to develop a pattern displaying Red Flags leading to Silver Linings. Even as the Community awaits, with bated breath, the legal verdict on the plea against the continuation of the Metro tunnelling under […]
Of ‘Cause’ Dear Readers, It’s an interesting time for our Community – more than ever before, we are showing a strong sense of cause, collectively as a community. Keeping our differences aside, we have been displaying great consistency and speaking up in one voice in support of the ‘Save Our Atash Behrams’ Movement. Our […]
Dear Readers, Nature has unmistakeable ways of pouring in her reminders when we get a little too preoccupied in the petty things of life – like ourselves. Every year, as the monsoon season gets into the groove and washes away any false sense of self-aggrandisement that we may have unwittingly or wittingly nurtured, we are […]
Dear Readers, We step into the second half of 2018 as a community which seems to have grown in unity, especially over the past few months. It was wonderful to witness the community’s unity manifest into the much-needed ‘Save Our Atash Behram’ Movement, last month. And more recently, the BPP Board welcomed its newly elected […]
