Dear Editor,
A friend of mine from
Canada sends your paper via
email to my address and I enjoy
reading The Parsi Times 13000
miles away in USA. I have lived
here for over 54 years and for
WKH ÀUVW WLPH HQMR\ UHDGLQJ
your paper very much.
One thing I like to see in the
paper is Parsi food recipes such
as breakfast, lunch, dinners
etc.
Now that I am retired, I like
to redevelop the taste buds for
Parsi food.
Parsi Koila (Silly) Jokes
makes me crackup.
Parsi
humor is fantastic. I am glad,
I was born as a Parsi and my
values were and are still the
same and for which I thank my
parents, friends and Billimoria
School and Wadia College for
the same. My success in USA
and in my professional career
had slight contribution of Parsi
humor, jovial and positive
attitude brought many a
successes my way. Thank God
my parents and friends enjoyed
humor and fun.
Keep up the good work or
what do the Parsi say “buckup” in India, for job well done.
Nice to see and hear about
Parsi Community in India. It’s
enlightening to see Parsis are
doing well in India.

Dear Editor,
It is a matter of Great
Shame the way the BPP is
run. Worldwide, the Parsis
should DE-RECOGNISE it as our
Community’s Apex Body.
1. There is NO UNITY OF
COMMAND. It has two distinct,
rival groups, at the board level
: 4 Vs 3.
2. It is DISGUSTING that the
Trustees send E-mails to one
another; through they sit 2
feet apart. Senior Managers are
forced to E-mail the Trustees! It
was NEVER SO, before.
3. 7KH ÀQDQFLDO SRVLWLRQ LV
PRECARIOUS, by making a
ERQÀUHRI!5VFUE\WU\LQJ
to ban the 2 Priests, when the
Bombay H.C. has, distinctly
RULED AGAINST ITS USURPATION
OF RELIGIOUS POWERS. More
money down the drain, before
the Supreme Court!
4. I am told that the payment
of salaries has become a
monthly issue. (Is that so??)
5. Its relations with the
Mumbai Mazdoor Sabha has
soured. (It was never so,
before).
6. With Cawas Panthaky’s exit,
in February, there will a big
administrative vacuum.
7. The trade against him
and Phiroze Patel (both Sr.
Executives) – by the Trustees –
is a matter of shame. “Power
Corrupts…..”.
8. 7KH ÀVVXUH DW WKH %RDUG
Level, is the only reason for
the non-appointment of a CEO,
after Mehli Colah’s death.
9. In my 44 years’ professional
experience, I have never seen
such a terrible dispute-ridden
Board!
In 2016, we must reject
the entire Board and ENSURE
that their cohorts don’t enter
through the front door.

Dear Editor,
The Parsis are going through
a severe population crises. So
much so that the government
has to devise a Jiyo-Parsi
Scheme to bail us out. The
problem is mainly socioeconomic – late or no marriages
and one or two children per
family have led to this decline.
Sometimes I wonder how the
IHZ GR]HQ 3DUVLV ZKR ÁHG
from Iran to escape religious
persecution increased to over a
ODNK VRPH ÀIW\ \HDUV DJR 'LG
we breed like rabbits? Or did
we inter-breed with the local
populace? The latter seems
more probable as Parsis today
do not resemble Iranis in their
features.
In
anthropology,
a
homogeneous group or more

as a Community, while a group
less than 30,000 is called a
tribe. The writing on the wall is

ominous. If the present trend
continues, by 2050, Parsis will
have ceased to be a Community
and will have become a tribe.
A saving grace is that the
children of Parsi men who have
married non-Parsi women can
be brought up as Parsis. This is a
result of the historic judgment
in 1910 by Justice Beaman and
Davar. This judgment does not
state categorically that the
children of Parsi women who
have married non-Parsis men
cannot be brought up as Parsis.
Such a view was conveniently
(and wrongly) taken by a maledominant society, at time when
women were not educated
and were treated like chattel.
Today, when women are equal
to men in all walks of life, be
it education, sports, corporate
management or editorship, it is
ironic that inter-married Parsi
women do not have the same
right as inter-married Parsi
men. A test case would be for
an inter-married Parsi woman
to approach a court of law
and demand equal rights. I am
sure that the court will give a
favorable judgment.
This will not be liked by
religious xxxxxx, like the
one who recently brought
shame and disgrace upon our
Community by his utterances
against the Wada Dasturji of
Letters to the Editor
Udvada.
It is such self-appointed
defenders of the faith who
want to drag our Community
back to the mediaeval ages.
They are like the witch doctors
RI \HVWHU\HDUV ZKR LQÁXHQFHG
weak-minded person by their
Mumbo-jumbo. They fail to
realize that today’s youth are
educated and enlightened, and
will not be swayed by regressive
views.
In an age when the Anglican
Church is appointing women as
Bishops, there are still some in
our Community who argue that
women cannot become Priests
because they get menstrual
periods. If that be so, why
cannot
post-menopausal
women be appointed as Priests?
Or, for that matter, why should
Behdins be treated like a lower
cast and cannot become Priests?

Dear Editor,
Clause 18 reads No money to
be given for transportation for
people residing OUT of Mumbai.
Actually all outside Voters
must be barred totally as they
do not reside within the limits
of Mumbai & our BPP is for
Mumbai residents.
The main Stooges of the
Corrupt are these outsiders,
who are brought in by the bus
loads & paid handsomely for
casting their valuable vote in
their favor, & this helps them to
get elected.
An Overseer must be
appointed
to
check
the
authenticity of the voters.
Voting must be done
simultaneously on one day only
& not staggered over a month
on weekends.
Finger must be inked to
prevent double & triple voting

My last request to my
Community members is VOTE
WISELY at least NOW; do not
get carried away with Bribes &
re-elect the corrupt. Open your
Eyes & Elect New Well meaning
& Social Minded persons.
I also request the Eminent
Persons of our Community to
kindly come forward & register
as Candidates, get elected &
save the Community’s wealth
from destruction. (Recent case
is of the shop at Fort sold to
Bohris & which cost the life of
the CEO Mehli Colah).

Dear Editor,
We rely upon Priests
attached to an Agiary or an
Atash Behram to get certain
rituals performed for somebody
who has crossed over to the
Avalon; interalia.
Priests attached to an Agiary
or Atash Behram are answerable
to the Head of that particular
place of worship and are
constrained to perform rituals
at the behest of Community
members, as per the diktat of
the Head Priest.
Priests
presume
that
Behdins are not very conversant
with the prayers and rituals and
some of the Priests have no
qualms about deceiving Behdins
who procure the services of such
rogue Priests; never realizing
that they are accumulating bad
03
karma by cheating Behdins.
I got certain ceremonies
performed in a Byculla Agiary
in December in memory of
my late dad. I was amazed to
hear Priests reciting only part
of the prayers for all the four
ceremonies. They obviously
deduced that I was not familiar
with the prayers and the time it
takes to recite certain prayers.
In about half an hour, all
the four ceremonies were
concluded … rituals that take
at least an hour or maybe a
few minutes more than an hour
were concluded in barely half
an hour.
Arguing with the priests
apropos, would not have

It is therefore, not surprising
that we Parsis, have lost faith
in our Priests who charge a
substantial amount for each

A team of 75 committed Godrejites ran the Half

the Republican Sports Club (Merzban Patel, coaching
underprivileged children to play Hockey), Vasantha
Memorial Trust (Taking care of cancer patients of weaker

An overwhelming response was received which resulted in collection of Rs. 58,31,000 compared to
Rs. 20,31,000 in 2014. This is over and above Rs. 12,00,000 paid by Godrej as participation fees for 75
Godrejites, who ran the Half Marathon. The money collected will be equally donated to the three NGO’s.

umble and humorous by nature, combined
with the most pleasing personality, an
avid lover of western classical music
with great interest in the subject of history, a
committed daily walker and a great man with
an encyclopedic mind is how I will describe
this ever so down to earth eminent personality
Justice Rohinton Nariman. These are all the special qualities in him that make him so
endearing. The son of a distinguished Indian Jurist Fali Nariman, Rohinton Nariman
did his schooling at the Cathedral School, in Mumbai. He then completed his under
graduation degree from Shri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi and further acquired

Counsel of the Supreme Court of India at the young age of 37.While appointing Mr.
Nariman, the then Chief Justice amended the rules as he was only 37 years... as the
minimum age for being made a senior in the Supreme Court was 45 years. He then
went on to become the Solicitor General of India. He is now appointed as a Judge of
the Supreme Court and has been elevated to the Bench of this high position without
being a judge of a High Court, all on his merits.
The Bombay Parsi Panchayet (BPP) hosted a reception to felicitate Justice
Rohinton Nariman on his appointment as a Judge of the Supreme Court of India
on Saturday 31st January, 2015 at the Cusrow Baug Pavilion, Mumbai. The speakers
included Dinshaw Mehta, BPP Chairman, Darius Khambata, former Additional Solicitor
General of India and Advocate General of Maharashtra, Padma Bhushan Awardee Dr.
Farokh Udwadia, Senior Advocate Janak Dwarkadas, Senior Advocate Fredun De Vitre
and Ronnie Screwvala.
The evening commenced with Mr. Godrej Dotivala welcoming all the BPP Trustees,
all the eminent speakers and the Community members. He said that the BPP had
honored Mr. Nariman on 4th November, 2011 as he had become the Solicitor General
of India and on 31st January, 2015 they were honored to felicitate him again on
becoming the New Parsi Judge of the Honorable Supreme Court. The program then
commenced with all the invitees singing the Indian National Anthem. Mr. Dotivala
then invited Mr. Dinshaw Mehta to speak a few
words. Mr. Mehta recalled the glorious day of 2011
when they felicitated the genius of our Community
Mr. Rohinton Nariman. Speaking about this genius
personality, Mr. Mehta informed the crowd that
he was a man who was deeply interested in our
Zoroastrian religion along with having a lot of love,
respect and faith for it. He also added that Mr.
Nariman had made the entire Community proud of
KLP +H ÀQDOO\ FRQFOXGHG E\ VD\LQJ 0U 1DULPDQ
indeed was a true gem of the Community.
On the other hand Mr. Fredun De Vitre spoke to
the crowd about Rohinton Nariman the person and
friend. He told the crowd that Rohinton had always
been a simple Bawaji of the old school. He further
stated that apart from being clever this man was
Binaisha M. Surti
very wise too. He was a very kind soul, always
ready to help people. He always remembered his
old teachers from school. He added that Rohinton
does a lot of charity too. He stated that his
friend is a great lover of History. He said that the
great man does very good mimicry, liked collecting
coins and has recently taken to golf. He concluded
by saying that this was not the end of his achievement
but is just the start. He wished his friend well on his
tenure on behalf of the entire Community and nation.
Next came Dr. Farokh Udwadia, he stated that
Rohinton was not only a scholar of our religion but a
comparative scholar of all religions. He became a Navar
at a young age... An ardent admirer of Napoleon, he described Rohinton as a person
who was good at law, a very just person, and a man who believed in good thoughts,
good words and good deeds. He wished that Justice Nariman would become the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court someday. He ended by saying that he had many
more stairs to climb. The 4th speaker on the podium was Mr. Darius Khambata who
described Mr. Nariman as a very different personality all together. Being an avid lover
of music he has a huge collection of it. He announced that Rohinton was only the 5th
lawyer in India to be directly appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court. He indeed
would be a game changer in the court of law.
Next to come on the podium was Mr. Ronnie Screwvala who was with Mr. Rohinton
Nariman in school. He shared with the community how Rohinton had helped him
with notes in school when he was unwell and had been hospitalized. He also added
that his dear friend had a unique element of giving and sharing. The last speaker on
the podium was Mr. Janak Dwarkadas who fondly calls Mr. Rohinton as Roh, said that
VXFFHVV DQG ZHDOWK KDYH D FRUUXSWLQJ LQÁXHQFH RQ LQGLYLGXDOV +H DGGHG WKDW WKH
Rohinton of the 1980’s and the man of today is just the same. He indeed is a child of
a special God! There will never be another Roh!
Finally, the man himself Mr. Rohinton Nariman came on the podium, he very
humbly stated that “Aai apru gher nu ghambhar che; don’t believe a word of
what they said”. That very moment all the people had a good laugh. He shared
something very nice with all of us... The number
5 had a great deal to do with his appointment. He
was 5th in direct succession of lawyers who have
been directly appointed to the Supreme Court. He
happened to be the 5th Parsi to be appointed in
the Supreme Court. His very 1st appearance in the
Supreme Court was when he appeared before 5
judges. In the great tradition of Parsi priests turned
lawyer he was number 5. Everyone applauded his
wonderful words.
Later on the BPP Trustees felicitated him
with an award and along with that, eminent
associations, colonies, Parsi Baugs and institutions
also felicitated him. The grand event thus ended
with Chhaiyye hame Zarthosti.

and Mobile Apps, by Mr. Yazdi
Tantra on 31 January, 2015 in
the Audio-Visual Room at the
Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy,
School for Boys and Girls, Fort,
Mumbai. This was one of the
largest gatherings of WE with
50 ladies attending – women
entrepreneurs, professionals,
Doctors, and even home
makers. It was heartening to
see the enthusiastic response
and even more encouraging
was the fact that some ladies
enrolled as members on the
spot while others will do so at
our March programme.
Ms.

the participants and appealed
to them to become members.
She added that all WE
members,
automatically
become members of WZCC
as WE is a part of WZCC.

Never let the fear of losing… keep you from playing the game... Just Do It...
The Throw Ball Team
M
arazban Colony is probably one
of the oldest Parsi Colonies in
Mumbai, with all its buildings
having crossed the 100 year mark.
Direct Volley Ball has always been
one of the favorite sports in this Colony.
However there was a 13 year lull. Then
RQHÀQHGD\0U)LUGRVH/DODDORQJZLWK
his friend Mr. Ruzbeh Gandhi revived
the sport when they were approached
Delzad Bhathena with Trophy
by a group of youngste
ers
e
r who wanted to
youngsters
be trained in the game. It was in this
manner that the movement begun which
today has bloomed.
Marazban
Colony
has
three
generations (grandfather, son and
grandsons) all playing on the same court.
Currently there are four Direct Volley Ball
teams which consist of players ranging
from 13 years to 70 years of age. The
girls’ Throw
Ball team is
also seen as
being
very
progressive
with
each
p a s s i n g
tournament.
They
are
fabulous
players and
with
time
and practice
can achieve
the
next
level without
doubts. The
residents of
the
colony
hold get-togethers with
the aim of
encouraging
the
Parsi
youth towards
sports.
T

is
being
managed
primarily by

and players are Zen Bharucha, Meherzad
Dalal, Shazad Ichaporia, Vistas Sanjana,
Rayomand Khambatta, Malcolm Balsara,
Jehaan Sahukar, Arzan Daruwala,
Gev Contractor, Yezdi Driver, Behram
Bordiwala and many more. Though it is
a collective effort, all other youngsters
within the Marazban Colony also help
out in one way or the other.
It is mainly their unity and their
open policy for all players irrespective
of competition or where they play their
Tournaments, which keeps them going
and surging ahead.
Marazban Colony has won nearly
VL[ÀQDOVLQ'LUHFW9ROOH\%DOOLQDVKRUW
period. The Throw Ball team also has
won many times even as runner ups.
Marazban Colony has always opened its
doors to all Colonies and hence players
from all the surrounding Colonies like

Though funds are always a major issue and constraint, since costs of all the
sports equipments are sky high, somehow the funds are managed personally by
the seniors and well wishers of the Colony. Marazban Colony’s major supporter is
Trustee Saheb Mr. Muncherjee Cama who
has always been very encouraging and has

By P.T. Reporter Khushroo P. Mehta
n the morning of 31st January I reached Surat to attend
the Salgreh Jashan at the Bag-E-Parsa Adarian at Surat.
The Jashan which was on in full swing, being performed
by seven respected Dasturjis of Surat lead by the Vada Dasturji
Saheb Ervad Cyrus Dastur and Ervad Noshirwan Dastur. The small
crowd in attendance had many Trustees of the Bag-E-Parsa and the
Surat Parsi Punchayat who had specially come to pay their respects
to the Aatash Padshah on His 119th Birthday. The Trustees present
included the President of Surat Parsi Punchayat, Mr. Jamshed Dotivala, and
Managing Trustee at Bag-E-Parsa, Mr. Noshirwan Dabhoiwala, Trustees Mr. Jimmy
Kharadi & Mr. Yezdi Karanjia. During the Jashan Mr. Jimmy Kharadi took time
to meet me and express his strong feelings on the faith of Parsi Community at
Surat. He sadly remarked that where is the Parsi Community in Surat going today?
There were times when every mohalla of Surat was occupied by Parsis; where
else today every Parsi house is surrounded by other Community homes which
were taken over by them from Parsis. Amongst the present population of around
3500 Zarthostis in Surat, 50% of them are over the age of 50 years and a further
50% of those are above the age of 65 years. So unless something is done on a
war footing, the diminishing Zarthosti Community at Surat will be totally wiped
out in another 15-20 years. Mr. Kharadi welcomed steps like Jiyo Parsi, however
he opinioned that there weren’t
many takers for them, as the boys
and girls of the Community have
no inclination to settle with each
other. This is mainly because the
boys don’t earn much and have
the additional responsibility of
their parents, where else the girls
want freedom and they are
more forward going and they
are better placed then boys
ÀQDQFLDOO\WRR+HUHTXHVWVELJ
Parsi establishments like the
Tatas, Godrej, Shapoorji Pallonji
and many more to come forward
and accommodate the young
Parsis in their organizations and
help them settle down in life
with a Parsi partner. The Mobed
Community is also diminishing
and the youngsters don’t want to practice Mobedi as the gains are minimal
DQG WKH ÀQDQFLDO DQG PHGLFDO VXSSRUW V\VWHP WR WKH 0REHGV LV VFDUFH7KHVH
negative points have come out in the open at Surat too. So it’s high time the
Community comes together and thinks seriously rising above the differences and
works towards saving our minuscule Community before it goes extinct.
After the Salgreh Jashan was over, the Zarathostis enjoyed a round of rich chasni
of fruits, khajur and malido. The Vada Dasturji Saheb Ervad Cyrus Dastur then
joined me to share a few points on the day’s celebrations. He informed that at 8 in
the morning there was a round of the historic Kavyani Zando which was unfurled
and taken around by volunteers who were joined by around 30 to 35 Bedins,
going around all Parsi mohalla around the Adarian. It now stood proudly at the
entrance of the Adarian where Parsis bow down to it. The same would be lowered
the next day, packed and kept back until the next Salgreh. Vada Dasturji Saheb
shared with me the rest of the day’s program which included a Fala Ni Machi in
Uziren Geh
at
3.40
pm
when
around
3
kgs of Pure
Sandalwood
would
be
offered to
the Aatash Padshah. The Bag-E-Parsa Trust has organized a nite Gambhar with
tasty dinner being catered by Mr. Cyrus Nogamawala.
Thereafter I paid my respects to the Aatash Padshah of the Bag-E-Parsa,
had a small share of chasni and proceeded for the day’s outing to many other
Agiaries of Surat and walking down every mohalla of Surat; I could feel the rich
Zarathosti presence of this place, which sadly today was diminishing. With a
prayer that may all the Aatash Padshah’s of Surat including the Aatash Behrams
create a wonder with their blessings and save the rich Parsi heritage and Parsi
population in Surat, I left back for home in the evening. Jago PARSI ane ave

he 168th Salgreh of the
Seth Nusserwanji Hirji
Karani Agiary’s Atash
Padshah Saheb took place on
Tuesday, 3rd February 2015 at
Cusrow Baug, Mumbai. There
were numerous people who
attended the celebrations on
the auspicious day. The hall was
completely packed to the brim.
A happy Parsi Community all
together was a great sight. The
entire Agiary was decorated in
a beautiful manner. This Fire
Temple is visited by people
ts
from near and far for its
spiritual powers.
The
morning
commenced with a
Havan
Geh
Machi,
followed by a Jashan
Ceremony on behalf of
the Trust. In the evening again
another Jashan was conducted
by Huma Anjuman. Panthaky
Saheb Ervad Yazdi Nadarsha
Aibara along with other Priests
performed the Hum Bandagi
prayers. Thereafter Mr. Homi
Ranina welcomed everyone
and added that he was
honored
to
introduce
Dasturji
Peshotan
Hormuzdiar Mirza to the
crowd. He spoke very
highly of Dasturji Mirza,
saying that he was a very
learned scholar and a
great scientist too.
Next Dasturji Mirza
gave
a
brilliant
indepth speech on the A-Z
RI WKH VLJQLÀFDQFH RI
Marriage Ceremony in
our Zoroastrian Religion. He
highlighted the fact that this
ceremony should be conducted
in a righteous manner with all
the procedural customs.
Following his speech Ervad
Yazdi N. Aibara was the next
one to speak on the podium.
He gave importance to the
word “Fire”. He said that Fire
is a living entity on this earth.
He went on to add that “We
cannot see God; we have to
reach God through Fire.” He
ended by praising the Trustees
and thanking them for their
never ending efforts towards
the Agiary.
Further Mr. Noshir Bulsara
eulogized the benevolent deeds
of our great philanthropic Parsi
ancestors, the fruits of which
we are enjoying today. Mr.
Marazban Wadia then recited
verses composed by himself
in Gujarati. This wonderful
evening ended with Mrs. Mani
Vazifdar giving the vote of
thanks. All the eminent people
on the dais were felicitated.
Our very own Parsi Times
was also felicitated for their
continuous efforts and support
towards the Community, along
with other publications.

our minds when they
themselves are like empty

It would be only right if
Ervad Hathiram reconsiders
his view, takes advice
from Dastur Khurshed and

religious

concerned.

Soul’s journey and then we
sit and wonder the “Whys”
of occurrences and hold our
omniscient creator culpable.
For what??? Our mistakes???
We cannot progress to the
next spiritual level unless we
successfully cleanse our karmic
slate … the Soul is aware of
the synopsis of our deeds
and the extent to which our
karmic slate is cloudy; and so
is the Higher Self; but it is the
egoistic, supercilious physical
mind which prevents us from
growing spiritually.

A rules of thumb is a homemade recipe for making a guess.
It is an easy-to-remember guide that falls somewhere between
a mathematical formula and a shot in the dark. Rules of
thumb are a kind of tool. They help you appraise a problem or
situation. They make it easier to consider the subtleties of the
topic at hand; they give you a feel for a subject. A pilot in a tight
spot doesn’t ask questions about aeronautical engineering; a
pilot in a tight spot asks “now what?” There are times when
you don’t need to know the best way to do something. These

Name...Kaiyan K. Patel.
I work at... Cargo Service Centre India Pvt. Ltd.
I work as... Assistant Manager – legal and compliance.
That basically means... All companies legal matters, from tenders to
contracts, negotiating, corporate law, vetting, various compliances or
drafting notices on behalf of It.
My work day begins with... Tea and healthy breakfast, with checking my
mails and planning my day with the CFO.
I love this about my job... I am independent, reporting to no team
as I directly handle work for CFO of the company. Mainly there Is no
saturation point, as something new comes daily and so I learn and
upgrade my knowledge daily.
I wish this would change about my job... Tight deadlines and less flexible timings plus I want my
company to function with rules like in MNCs.
I have been working here for... 6 months.
I head to office and head
back home at these times...
8.30 am to 6 pm.
Some of the things that
make up my work day…
Freedom, as I get to explore
a lot of fields, and I am not
restricted to a single field.
Working with a CFO helps
me in upgrading my skills.

Dear Mamaiji,
You always make me read the
Gujarati calendar date from the
front page of the Parsi Times. Today is
Din Roj. What does that mean?
Dear Dikri,
Today as per the Parsi calendar is Din or Daena Roj/Day. Din
Yazata/Divinity, stands for one’s Religion traditionally. We
can also interpret that as one’s Spiritual Practices, Faith and
also Inner Conscience. Din helps you to understand your
religion or spiritual path better. Aligning with Din Yazata
helps one go inwards towards understanding oneself better
and to connect with the Divine within. When one’s faith
is shaken, call upon Din Yazata to comfort you and shore
you up. Din Yazata is female energy, therefore this Yazata
provides nurturing, care and compassion to those who call
upon her.
