Our Community
Thirteen long centuries ago, when the Kian Glory fled past our ancestors for ever, when the crown and sceptre of the great Sassanian Empire fell, when the fame and fortune of the greatest kingdom of the day left them, when friendless and forlorn they stood and knew not where to turn, Thou our eternal friend, […]
Review: BAADSHAHO
It seems the action directors (too many to enumerate) and John Stewart Eduri, who conducted the background music score, had a deal in place : whenever one of them was off duty, the other would take his place. So we have fistcuffs by the dozen and/or a ear-splitting background score, lest you fall asleep. And […]
NumeroTarot (As Per Your Birth Month)

Your Moonsign Janam Rashi This Week –
2nd September, 2017 – 8th September, 2017
મરહુમ મહારાજ શ્રી સ્વયંજ્યોતિના સહકાર્યકર્તા જયેશ એમ. ગોસ્વામી . ARIES | મેષ: અ.લ.ઈ. બુધની દિનદશા ચાલુ હોવાથી તમારા કામમાં જે સાચું લાગશે તેજ કામ કરશો. બીજાની સલાહ લેશો પણ કરશો પોતાના મનનું. બુધની કૃપાથી નાની બચત કરવામાં સફળ થશો. થોડી કસર કરી ભવિષ્યનો પ્લાન બનાવી શકશો. લેતી-દેતીમાં ચોકસાઈ રાખજો. ભુલ્યા વગર ‘મહેર નીઆએશ’ ભણજો. શુકનવંતી […]

Happy Teacher’s Day!
“If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.” No words hold truer or more relevant than these today, as expressed by India’s most-loved statesman, the […]

Farokh Fravardin – A month of Good Fortune and Happiness dedicated to the Holy Spirit
Fravardin is the first month of the Zoroastrian calendar and very appropriately so because the month is dedicated to the Fravashi or Farohar, which is the prototype of all creation. In the Zoroastrian tradition while invoking Fravardin, we use the epitaph Farokh which means fortunate and happy. In our prayers we recite, “Mah Farokh Fravardin” […]
Review: Babumoshai Bandookbaaz
It’s not just the title that is alliterative: with bounteous babes, bullets and Biharis– though not necessarily in that order– in good measure, Kushan Nandy’s ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’ can lay claim to being a tolerably worthy, albeit milder successor to Anurag Kashyap’s 2012 ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’. Contract killer Babu Bihari (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) has no compunctions about […]
