Dwindling Parsi community: Yoga Ratnakara a thousands of years old Ayurveda book has written in vajikaran yoga a product for male and female infertility, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation etc. Navras Pak is the product manufactured as per this process. I have been reading in news paper regarding dwindling Parsi community due to marriage within the same blood group/family. why not recommend this product within your community. I am not sure whether this will work for Parsis because the problem is more of genetical nature. You may try out this. If you need more information on this product, please mail me.

I'm under tremendous pressure to commit suicide by Mr Naresh Mohan former Executive President Hindustan Times , President Indian Newspaper Society 1990-91( tel : 0091 -11-25555402 ) for my effort to save lives of Christians & Muslims in 1993 ,who were fighting civil war in Bosnia using communication as tools based on scientific facts. Under hypnotised condition , I shared the truth with then US Charge d' Affaire Mr William that I saved the company - The Hindustan Times Ltd , Government of India from major embarrasment . I had & have no intention to embarass /disparage my seniors or expose their error of decisions having global implications. I'm being stifled all round since 1996 to pressurise me to compromise integrity , honesty. Instead of commiting suicide I 'm seeking to donate my heart & other body parts to others so that someone can live. I'm being harassed & pressurised using tantra .Already ,my personal & professional life has been shattered . I 'm being denied even basic sustainence material support systems required for day today living to harass me. My parents has been killed using tantra who wanted me to work to usher in material prosperity in human lives & create joy around the world . Can anyone help me donate my body . Certainly , I want to live & fullfill my parents dream & my dream for people of India.

Local melodrama Monday, June 07, 2010 Society by Mehernosh Kapadia, which is a truly local effort, could do with some promotion, and really well deserved it would be. The language is regular middle class Mumbai and the story looks at aspects of our society which we usually look away from or brush under the carpet, so that in some time we can pretend that they do not exist at all. Vrinda Athavle is a drug addict and a prostitute. Worse than all this is that, in modern India, she happens to be a Dalit; which is a dangerous disqualification. She is in jail after being accused of murdering Vijay Patel, the only son of a powerful minister, who is lobbying to become the prime minister of the country. N. Dev is one of the fifty partners of a law firm, and is really good at his work. He is appointed by the court to defend Vrinda. This sets the stage for every kind of turmoil in his life, from losing everything he holds dear, his job, the perks that come with it, the love and trust of his wife and family, the respect and support of his friends and colleagues. Dev has excellent skills which bring the firm its successes in the hallowed halls of justice, as well the talent to negotiate out of court settlements, which most clients, who are more often wrong than right, opt for when offering compensation for their indulgences or peccadilloes discreetly. ‘Most residents who knew Vijay Patel always assumed he would die young. He was wild, reckless, to the degree only a child of enormous wealth could afford to be. His father possessed a net worth in excess of Rs.25,000 crores…Goda Patel had threatened to cut Vijay out of his will on more than one occasion. But now it was the son who was threatening his father’s future: the circumstances of Vijay’s death and his many indiscretions posed an imminent threat to Goda’s dream of becoming PM.’ This book is about how the overambitious will stop at nothing. Society By Mehernosh Kapadia Published by Kumar Publications Price Rs.250

I was just enthralled and glued to reading the novel SOCIETY written by Mehernosh Kapadia. Certainly a very good novelist with a lot of promise.

From: - Mrs. Queenie J Tata 12/1275, Parsiwad, Machhlipith, Surat-395003. jaosh.tata@tata-aig.com To, The Trustees, PARSEE WORLD APPEAL FOR FINANCIAL DONATION Sub: - Medical Aid for my 5 yrs old son having 90% Profound Deafness and lack of Speech. Respected Sir, I the undersigned Mrs. Queenie J Tata PARSEE WOMAN would like to bring to your notice that my 5 yrs old son Pakzad was born with 90% Profound deafness. thereby unable to hear with both ears. He is also unable to speak. We had shown to ENT 2 yrs back but were unable to detect the same. Recently we consulted Dr. Mallika Arjun a well known Doctor in Ahmadabad. On his performing the BERA Test on Pakzad, the result indicated his having 90% Profound deafness leading to speech impairement. Initially, the doctor suggested for him the use of Hearing Aid (Phonak Model Naida 3 SP) costing Rs. 89,600/-. We purchased the same and we along with its usage, gave him 2 months therapy also but there was improvement to a very limited extent. Subsequently, the performed Audiometery test and as suggested by Dr. Saumitra Shah, a Cochlear Implant is a must for him as that will enable him to hear normally after the implant. As per the estimates provided by the Doctor, the total expenditure will work out as under : 1.Cost of the implant eqipment as supplied by Cochlear Company of Australia. - Rs. 9.75 Lacs 2. Other expenses comprising of pre operative assessment surgery and post operative rehabilitation for 1 year - Rs. 1.30 Lacs. 3. Grand Total - Rs.11.85 Lacs Even after the surgery the child will require therapy treatment for approx 1.5 years costing Rs. 36000/-. Moreover, every 7 years the outer machine needs to be changed costing Rs.2.5 Lacs each time. As this is a very expensive and long term treatment, it is very difficult for us to bear the cost of this expensive operation on our own. As per doctor's decision, tThe Cochlear Implant is performed to cure the problem of hearing of any one ear only at a time, either Left or Right ear. Dr. S. Mohan from Chennai who is a Cochlear Implant expert in India and has performed more than 500 such operations will be visiting Surat on 1st and 2nd May 2010. It is our good fortune that Dr. Saumitra V. Shah of Surat under whose treatment we are, has suggested us to get the surgery performed by him. My husband Mr. Jaosh Tata is the only earning member in our family. He is, serving as a Manager in TATA-AIG LIFE and earning around Rs. 40000/- Per Month. Our regular expenditure includes sipporting of our elderly parents whose monthly medical expenses come to about Rs. 4,000/- as well as our elder daughter studying in Std. 2nd. We will be highly thankful and indebted to you if you can extend any financial help to aid us in this endeavour. We hope that with the kind co-operation and suppot of all of you, my only son will be able to lead a normal life like other children after the operation and therapy. Please be kind enough to help us and oblige. Our ICICI Bank Surat A/c No. is 019301510430. Awaiting a favorable response from your end. May God Bless you all with health, wealth, Peace and eternal happiness. Thanking you Yours Sincerely, Queenie Jaosh Tata. (Phone: - 0261-2423866) M 9825235553 Summary of Expenses that will be incurred before and after the Cochlear Implant are as follows- Amount in Rs. 1. Cochlear Implant Machine Nucleus. 975000 2.

Mehernosh’s first book ‘Society’ is difficult to describe- in one word it is ‘UNPUTDOWNABLE’ -A brilliant first effort, it is racy, well written and keeps the reader engaged from the first page to the last-a thought provoking novel about the inequality of society, the downtroddenness & humiliation of the backward classes and Dalits and a reflection of the general degradation of our times - A must read for all lawyers- the hero, N. Dev, a ‘Utopian’ lawyer is simply a hearthrob - Great work Mehernosh-A bollywood blockbuster is in the making! Looking forward to your 2nd, 3rd and other novels!!

In my part of India where i live there are hardly any Parsees, so when i saw a novel written by a Parsee i picked it up—Society by Mehernosh Kapadia He has really captured the Society as it is today , it depresses me as a youngster that this is what society is today. But i must say his writting is excellent. as good as Dan Brown’s -Da Vinci Code

All I do in life is read novels eat and dream. I must have ready over 500 novels by now and all subjects. My favourites so far have been Sydney Sheldon, Harrold Robbins and Aurther Hailey. Today i have added one more name to them –Mehernosh Kapadia. His novel SOCIETY is complete in all aspects. It sends a message and also entertains which very few authors are able to do. They just entertain. Mehernosh I want to meet you. Lots of kisses and hugs.

Hi People I'm Henk Tuten, 56 years old Dutch engineer. I'm not an historian but have a good overview of ancient Middle East history. Studying the facts about original Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Buddhism I became more and more convinced that Buddhism came from Southern Persia (and thus also very Northern India). No indication at all that it came from Nepal Also I noticed that Buddhism and Zoroastrianism have a lot in common. The rise of Zoroastrianism was the fall of Buddhism in Persia. Gaumata in Persian history could very well be Gautama Buddha (as sometimes suggested). In fact looking at happenings in a 'parachute view' makes this quite probable. Eastern history could be much more connected than thought. Persia, India and China .. Please comment All the best

I'm denied even basic sustenance support systems , medicare , communication facilities using tantra. All normal growth processes has been stifled so that I'm forced to commit suicide under extreme distress . Mr . Bagga threatened me in 1996 he will use his media power to stifle all fair unbiased investigations . So instead of commiting suicide even when I'm being forced to commit suicide under extreme pressure I wish my biological body if medically disembered then atleast someone can live.

Is there anyone in the world who has (or whom I could as for a copy of Jame Jameshed of 30th September 1926? In this issue there is an article of Dr. J. M. Unwalla on a gold and a silver plate with an inscription of Darius the Great said to be found in Hamadan, Iran. This article could be of highly historical interest, because Unwalla says in 1927 that in this article cluld be found detailed and more detailed information on these tablets. In would be glad for any information where this article could perhaps be found, the Cama Oriental Institute and the Asiatic Society in Mumbai having written to me that they do not have this issue of Jame Jamshed.

Remembering ' Cawas Jehangirji Bardoliwalla BEng, DIC. I should explain that my late father was awarded a DIC by Imperial College of Sience and Technology. His Work and reserch undertaken alongside Professor D.B.Spalding CBE was so cutting edge for it's time that being awarded a DIC by the Department of Mechanical Engineering meant 'The Diploma of 'Membership' of The Imperial College' which any academic in the field of post Graduate Engineering who's worth his salt will know is quite a distinguished Accolade.

Dear Webmaster, The 5th paragraph below is a short biography on my late father Cawas Jehangirji Bardoliwalla who was The First ever Zoroastrian to Pioneer Automotive Architectural Engineering and Design for The Worlds Most Illusrious Car Giant Rolls Royce Motors / Bentley (UK) Ltd ( 1970 - 1978 ) and therefore i vehemently believe as do many other Zoroastrians in the community that he desrves to be given recognition as a prominent / Famous Zoroastrian in the UK alongside other Famous Zoroastrians such as Zubin Mehta and Freddie Mercury to name but a few. I sincerely hope that you will give my late father the recognition he rightfully deserves possibly by way of a short write up in your 'Home' Category of your website ( Bloggers section - possibly !) for posterity and as a shining example and mentor to up and coming Zoroastrians embarking in the field of Architectural Engineering and Design. Yours Sincerely His Beloved Son Neville Cawas Cyrus Bardoliwalla BSc (Hons)

Hi
Posted by jagan on 2009-10-16 04:31:44

Please could you post the following on your website,thus; My Late Beloved Father Cawas Jehangirji Bardoliwalla in 1953 was acclaimed by a prominant Bombay broadsheet of which i have preserved the original that he was a notable parsi in Bombay for being the only Student at the time from the illustrious The Sir J.J.B.P Institution to be Awarded a Solid Silver Medal for being the first ever student to attain the Highest marks for passing The S.S.C Exam. He subsequently went on to achieve a first Class Honours Degree in Mchanical Engineering fron The University of Bombay technical instiute for Science and Technology.For his unpresidented achievement the ex-students Jubilee Fund awarded him a full scholarship to further his studies at Imperial College London in 1959.He was assigned to the department of Mechanical Engineering and worked directly under The Highly respected Professor Spalding.He subsequently went on to recieve a distinction for his thesis and research into Heat transfer and Rocket combustion and was awarde a DIC (The Diploma of Imperial College ).Soon after my dad was to become Senior Architect for Rolls Royce Motors in London.Three months prior to his death age 44 years by way of a massive heart attack he was promoted to head the dept of Aerospace Engineering Design for Rolls Royce in Crew unfortunately it was never to be. My dad was an unsung Hero of the parsi community and was never given recognition for his oustanding achievements in such a short period of time and life hence my petition for such recognition be bestowed posthumously. In sincererity i hope you will publish this anecdote of my dad which hopefully will inspire up and coming parsis throughtout the world over.

I love Parsi & Irani food. But have always wondered what is the difference between the Parsi and the Irani community in India? They both seem quite similar but I'm sure there are some religious and cultural differences. I know they both originated from Iran or Persia. Are Iranis closer to the Muslim religion or do they have their roots from Islam? Can someone explain both the communities similarities and difference briefly. Thanks.

Hello, I am an Iranian Zoroastrian. Can you please tell me if you know much about this site:http://www.zoroastrianism.cc/ ? The site encourages questions which are always, as far as I gather, replied by a Christian (ex Catholic South American) convert to Zoroastrianism. That is what the person answering questions claims about himself. I am very unsure about the mentioned site. When he seems not to like questions asked or when he is challenged, the site simply does not post questions asked. Can you please investigate? What is your opinion ? do you know much about the mentioned site? Thank you. Nikki Ushta Nikki

Good Site - i just read about the Panday Sanatorium alias Merwan Baug at Colaba, Mumbai, in parsi khabar - Oh my god ! at this rate the Parsi Panday Sanatorium rooms could be sold to non parsis too ? Trustees are sleeping ? If the servants manufacture and sell country liquor and fry fish and keep boarders per night @ Rs.300/- in the night in their respective rooms. Such discrepancies are due to the trustees making a fast buck too ? The trustees have their share of earnings too ? Its shameful. I just happended to pass by that place and it looked in shambles and it seemed filthy and all blocked up dirty entrances and like a typical ghatti chawl.

Petition - Relocation of 9th World Zoroastrian Congress Dubai I would like to share my story with you to show that what is happening in Dubai is surely and undoubtedly so vile, so manifestly an affront to our dearest Zoroastrian values and precepts, that one must ask: What in God's name are we doing here? My story will convey to you the grave injustices that have been meted out to me and my family and which completely ruined our lives, and I would like to remain anonymous, for fear of persecution and harassment from the Dubai Government Authorities, to my friends and colleagues, who continue to work there. Let me start from the beginning. I am a qualified construction engineer who was working for one of the most prominent engineering construction companies in Ahmedabad, responsible for generating project cost estimates and coordinating all aspects of planning, development, design and observation of construction and infrastructure projects. However, like all of the Zoroastrians I knew, the moment I received an offer from one of Dubai's leading engineering construction companies, to come on board as the Deputy Chief Engineer Construction for the numerous hotel construction projects underway, I was exuberantly happy at the thought of improving my prospects and status in life. After due consultation with my wife, family and friends, who were very supportive of me, I decided to accept the offer and my wife and I moved to Dubai, envisioning a bright and prosperous future ahead. Unfortunately that dream soon diminished and our prospects of a good future were shattered. On my first day on the job, I was told by the other engineers in my construction team that human labour is the cheapest commodity in Dubai and that migrant workers are treated little better than cattle, with no access to healthcare and many other basic rights. At first I was skeptical and could not fathom how a construction company of this stature could ever be so disrespectful of basic human rights. My work took me around the city and it was here that I saw at first-hand, the harsh reality that is Dubai and which is hidden from the rest of the world. The Dubai Government has always painted a rosy and glamorous picture of this city, which is far removed from the pain, agony and sorrow, etched into the faces of the thousands of migrant workers who have helped built this so-called "City of Dreams." Behind Dubai's spiralling towers, man-made islands and mega-malls are hundreds of ghetto-like neighbourhood camps, hidden away from the eyes of tourists. These are areas around the Gulf set aside for an army of labourers, toiling and sweating in the hot sun at temperatures exceeding 45 degrees Celsius, to build the icons of architecture and hotels that are patronised by tourists who are totally oblivious of the conditions under which these hotels are constructed. It was on the job visiting various construction sites that I saw the appalling conditions under which the workers operated. If we think that conditions in India are unsafe for construction labourers, I would call upon all who read my story, to witness first-hand the absolutely hazardous and unsafe conditions at numerous construction sites I worked on. I was also witness to horrific accidents resulting in the deaths of many workers, due to the non-provision of adequate safety equipment, fatigue or heat exhaustion. Although the UAE does have federal labor laws, contractors who mistreat workers or withhold wages are rarely punished. The nature of my job not only entailed the inspection of construction sites but also necessitated late night meetings with local investors, high-ranking Government officials, overseas clientele and arranging sex-workers to entertain them, in order to secure the necessary funding for the company's numerous construction projects. This is where I was subject to the reality of Dubai's human-trafficking and prostitution racket. This inexcusable trade in human flesh is a high-profile activity in a region which hosts Islam's two holiest places -Mecca and Medina. We Indians readily accept the fact that India is not free from the clutches of human trafficking, the sex trade and child slavery, and that the Indian Government, despite undertaking several measures to root out this social menace readily acknowledges the problem our country faces. The Dubai Authorities on the other hand, have turned a blind eye to prostitution and illegal trafficking based solely on greed, hypocrisy and corruption, to the extent that when the Dubai Police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) makes arrests, (at times) it is because they want to gang rape a particular woman. This is in a land where the legal system implemented by the Dubai Federal Judiciary is based on a very strict code of conduct known as Sharia law that imposes the death penalty for adultery and prostitution. This kind of hypocrisy and exploitation goes against all the tenets and teachings of our Zoroastrian religion and made me seriously reconsider my position. During my three years in Dubai, I was witness and also subject to acts of racism, where people are strictly segregated and a hierarchy worthy of previous centuries prevails. At the top, dominating all other poor mortals, in their black or white robes, are the locals with their oil money. Under the locals come the western foreigners, the experts and advisers, making double the salaries they make back home, all tax free. Beneath them are the Arabs - Lebanese and Palestinians, Egyptians and Syrians. I realised that what unites these groups is a mixture of pretension and racism. We Indians come way below, at the bottom rung of this ladder, and it is indeed sad to see how many Indians, including Parsis, quietly accept and subject themselves to this inhuman treatment, all in the name of the money they worship. The final straw on the camel's back was when I decided to quit my job and move back to Ahmedabad as my wife was diagnosed as suffering from the worst form of Tuberculosis, a drug resistant strain of Pulmonary TB. I was told by my company that I needed to complete my three year contract before I could leave Dubai. It all started with Legionnaires' disease, which she contracted from the hotel in which we were put up for a month, when we first came to Dubai. Legionnaires' disease has become increasingly prevalent in hotels in Dubai, due to the high flow of traffic in all hotels, including five-star hotels, which cannot cope with this traffic and therefore, have absolutely low or even zero maintenance and disinfection procedures of air conditioning ducts, humidifiers, shower heads, and any piping in which water can lay. The Legionnaires' disease worsened and escalated to Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Because of the very nature of Pulmonary drug resistant TB, which is an often virulent infectious and contagious disease, my wife was refused permission by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) to fly back to Ahmedabad, and was quarantined for six months in hospital in an isolation ward. My pleas of help and support to the Indian High Commission fell on deaf ears, as they too had no power to intervene with the DHA. I also contacted the Dubai-based Khaleej Times and Gulf News, to tell them my about my difficult situation and I was subsequently threatened with imprisonment by the Government, which controls and oversees each and every aspect of the press, enforcing media-related laws, censoring publications and even going so far as to appoint approved and vetted editors, who "toe-the Government-line." Unlike in India, where we are so used to free and fair speech and freedom of the Press, my dear fellow Zoroastrians, that kind of freedom is absolutely unheard of and unimaginable in Dubai! Increasingly, my wife's condition worsened, until finally, exactly a year to the date she contracted the disease in this land, my beloved wife and the love of my life passed away. My aim in writing my story is to reveal to the Zoroastrian Community the true character and nature of the city of Dubai. We as a community who are supposed to practice the tenets of "Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds," "Humata, Hukhta, Huvarshta," should rise as one to prevail upon our religious leaders to relocate the 9th World Zoroastrian Congress Dubai 2009 from this city. I appeal to all members of the Mumbai Parsi Panchayat, FEZANA (Federation of Zoroastrian Associations of North America, World Zoroastrian Organization (WZO) and indeed all other Zoroastrian organisations and councils world-wide to unite as one, as it is not too late. The 9th World Zoroastrian Congress should not be held in Dubai, as this alone would serve as a wake-up call to the Dubai Government, that there is a small yet significant community in the world, which is aware and opposed to the atrocities being perpetrated in Dubai. We should as a community, which is peace-loving and amiable assert ourselves, and stand up against what is happening in Dubai. The inhuman behaviour that is quietly overlooked by the world at large, all for the money being thrown around by the Dubai Government, is an affront to the human race and deserves complete censure and total condemnation from the world-wide community. This would also serve as a fitting mark of respect to my beloved wife, and finally help to put her soul at rest. May Ahura Maza guide all our future actions and grant wisdom unto all our community leaders to take the right path. I would with humble humility request all fellow Zoroastrians to sign a petition, to relocate the 9th World Zoroastrian Congress Dubai 2009 from this city, by following the link below: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/relocatedubai This petition will prove to the leaders of our community that we are honest and God-abiding Zoroastrians, who will stand and unite together to support a fellow Zoroastrian, who has finally had the courage to speak out against what is unacceptable in society and goes against all our Zoroastrian tenets, precepts and values. With regards and be safe, Anonymous

Posted by Firoz Dara Dosabhai on 2008-09-05 12:33:26

Thanks Ronnie. But we have tried almost all measures to make other colonies and Baug authorities listen. Theres always underlying reasons why such vendors are tolerated. Its best left un-disclosed. After we've spoken with our Trust office and Vivaan has recognising the reputational damage they are currently suffering, they have decided to replace the faulty component in the 'overhead dish' which was causing this issue. Mind you, our first complaint to them went out on 10th Aug. They have responded (acted I mean) on 5th Sept after almost daily follow ups from our end. WHO WANTS TO DEAL WITH VIVAAN - PLS BE AWARE OF THESE ANTICS & THE EXCELLENT QUALITY OF SERVICE THEY ENSURE - WE ARE TRULY BREATHLESS (I PAUSE FOR BREATH). God always brings justice to those who somehow fail trying very hard to seek it for themselves. In our case he's a month late, but none the less, I'm sure he has other matters to take care of, which are more important. Another issue that still needs everyone's attention is the Annual Maint Contract, for which Vivaan wants us to shell out Rs 800 per tenant. Lets not forget the Dish TV ads advertising their Annual Maint Contract as Rs 365. Remember Vivaan charged everyone in our society Rs 5500 when Dish TV installaton was only Rs 3000 back in Dec 2006. That too with no free viewing or anything other than empty promises to use superior components and dish equipment than those used by Dish TV. We are all aware that their equipment has failed umpteem times in the past 3 years we have been serviced by Vivaan. Again, we know well that Mitrobay's father Porus manufactures cables, components, etc for Dish so its GHER GGHER NU GAMBHAAR for Mitrobay's family who work on commisions from Vivaan. We have approached Dish TV for these irregularities, by vendors such as Vivaan, but they refuse to step in as we are serviced through their distributor/ vendor & not directly by them. If they know such annomalies occur, why dont they refuse vendors liscences for Disk TV so customers deal with them directly???? DISH TV IS EQUALLY TO BLAME FOR THEIR CUSTOMER'S MISERY. I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DIRECT TO HOME???? & MIND YOU VIVAAN IS THEIR RECOGNISED DISTRIBUTOR - YOU CAN CALL THEM AND CHECK FOR YOURSELVES??? DISH TV ARE YOU LISTENING, WE WONT REST UNTIL WE GET WHAT IS DUE TO US & OUR MONEY'S WORTH. God be with us. Amin.
Posted by Kersi on 2008-09-05 00:07:30

@Kersi B - I would suggest that you send a written complaint to DiSH TV and also meetup with the management at Godrej Baug and Hilla Towers to see why Vivaan is being tolerated even after they are ripping off customers. Another way would be to write to the editorial section of various papers and news channels to see if any one of them is open to investigating it.
Posted by Ronnie on 2008-09-03 12:37:06

By means of this blog, I would like to bring to everyone's attention, some MAJOR ISSUES we, the tenants of Banaji Building (at Forjett Street) are facing with our cable TV service provider. We have DISH TV in our building. The service provider’s name is Vivaan Consultancy, and their Sales Rep & Partner Mitrobay resides in Banaji Building. Since 2006, the tenants of Banaji Building have been facing frequent Cable TV outage issues. We have also approached our trustees and requested them to take stern action against Mitrobay and Vivaan Consultancy for this VERY BAD service and for cheating us in this entire deal. Dish TV will not support us in these problems as Vivaan is a distributor and they are not directly dealing with us. On more than one occasion we have also found Arun, from Vivaan Consultancy to be very direct and abrupt during his dealings with our tenants. FYI – The tenants of Banaji building were charged a premium fee of Rs 5500 in 2006, when the cost of Disk TV installation was Rs 3000. The reason everyone agreed to pay up is because 1. Most had to go along with a single service provider and 2. Mitrobay being a neighbour had assured special cables and Dish equipment (such as cable pins, distributor equipment) thereby enhancing clarity of cable transmission After expiry of our 1st year of comprehensive warranty Vivaan has refused to renew our Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) and now wants us to pay for each vist and spare part, as and when it goes bad. In our entire 2 years of dealing with Vivaan, we were supposed to receive over 190 channels via Dish TV, but not on a single day have we recvd anything over 180 channels. These problems have never been looked into by them. They have always displayed a care a dam attitude to all the tenants of our building. Even today, it has been 2 months since our cable isnt working. We receive only 140 channels of late and this isnt being rectified unless we pay for shared infrastructure belonging to Vivaan Cons. They have recently sent select tenants of Banaji an AMC letter asking for Rs 800 as AMC cost when the cost of AMC from Dish TV is Rs 365 per yr. In this too, they don’t cover service of any cables, set top box or dish issues. That is charged extra. I request you to treat your dealings with Vivaan Consultancy with extreme caution so that you do not face the same issues when you sign up with them. Pls check your service contract and cost of AMC before you allow them onto your premises. Don’t fall for verbal promises as most tenants at Banaji did. I believe Vivaan is also providing service to tenants of Godrej baug and Hilla Towers. Plus a few more to add to this. As proof I’d like to show you that Mitrobay never answers customer calls. You may dial him on (M) 9821320029 ( R) He never answers our phone calls or returns our calls and messages left with his office. Neither is his office willing to assist with anything until we pay up in advance. Is this fair, after having charged us such premium for cable installation just 2 years ago.

I have composed a poem on Parsis on occasion of Parsee New Year and I wish to share the same with all my Parsi friends across the globe and in India. The same is given below: Parsis are very warm and nice Good to get along with and also full of spice They are very principled and kind hearted folks Who love to enjoy life and crack jokes An independent lot, they live in clusters Their personalities have a unique lustre They mostly have a passion for good food They hate to sit down and sadly brood A generous lot- they always spare a dime For the poor and the needy, they also spare their time Happy occasions are festive affairs When breakfast and lunch are served with great flair With Patra ni machchi, dhansak, ravo and sweet fried vermicelli Not to forget pulav and spicy chicken curry The dessert normally includes the falooda which is yummy But one has to have enough space left in his /her tummy On Navroze day, they visit the Agiary and offer Jashan Parsis firmly believe that Ahura Mazda will ultimately defeat Ahriman. We wish them all Naya Saal Mubarak and Happy Pateti We are sure they shall enjoy their festival with much fun and gaiety

August 19, 2008 Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Kayras Darayush Irani. I am a 22 year old pre-medical student living in Richmond, British Columbia. I work full time as a first aid attendant at several construction sites around Richmond. I have become a licensed Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) through the Emergency Medical Assistant Licensing Board of British Columbia. In December 2007, I was officially accepted into the first year of medical school at the Medical University of Lodz in Poland. I begin my studies on September 20, 2008. Since my acceptance I have been looking for several ways to finance my education. I have applied for three international loans, four different student lines of credit, and several scholarships, grants and bursaries. Unfortunately, I have not been approved for any of them. Not only have I not received approval, but my credit rating has suffered because I have been actively seeking credit since January 2008. Now I understand that you are a very busy individual and so I will get straight to the point. I am asking your company, employer, or organization for assistance in financing my education. If your company offers students in my situation loans or scholarships, I am in desperate need of it. One option for me right now is to get a co-signor for a $30,000 line of credit for the first year. If I get this co-signor and I get approved for the line of credit, I am still responsible for making interest payments on any of the money I use, while I am still in school. I will be studying full-time while in Poland and I need to put all my focus towards school, not on working or making interest payments. So I can not even have a line of credit because the co-signor will become responsible for making my interest payments. The government loans provided by BC are only available to students studying in Canada. You must trust that I will return to Canada for Medical Licensing as all I have to offer you is my word. All I request is a scholarship or bursary of any value allowing me to pay for my first year of Medical School which is approximately $30,000 USD. I will work hard enough to get good grades so I can pay for the remaining five years with scholarships. Sir/Madam I am running out of options. I need to find some way to pay for medical school. I will not wait an extra year to save up money because I have spent the last four straight years going to school and working to pay for tuition so I can complete my pre-medical studies. All I am asking is that you please give me some support or some guidance. Do you have anything to offer or know people that can help me with my situation? If you require any documentation proving my acceptance into Medical School, I will be happy to forward it to you. Please contact me at 604-214-2914/604-763-7820 or by e-mail: ikayras@hotmail.com. My postal address is: Kayras Darayush Irani 15-12211 Cambie Road Richmond, B.C. V6V 2H8 Thank you very much for your time and I hope to hear from you. Sincerely, Kayras Darayush Irani

THIS ARTICLE WAS ON THE FIRST PAGE OF JAM-E-JAMSHED, NAVROZ EDITION, WRITTEN BY NATASHA DEBOO, A 16 YEAR-OLD GIRL FROM PUNE. CHHAIYE HAME BAWAJI The word 'Parsi' is derived from the word Pars or Persia. Hence, Parsi literally means 'people who have come from Persia'. And what progress we have made since then! From coming as humble refugees from Iran, to building great empires like Tatas and Wadias; from being persecuted in our own motherland, to carving a niche for ourselves in other's hearts in a completely foreign country, Parsis have truly come a very long way. Today, Parsis are one of the most loved communities in the world. Every Hindu, Muslim or Christian is bound to have at least one Parsi friend. And boy! Do the good times roll when Parsis are around! Right from their long noses and fair complexions, to their unique Hindi and witty wisecracks, Parsis are a pleasure to have around you, and are the life of any party. And oh! Do we have our own unique identity! A Parsi can be easily spotted even in a crowded place. All you have to do is find someone whose petticoat is longer than the dress, who has a scarf on her head and a smile on her face. And trust me, it is so heartening to bump into one of them and hear them ask 'Arre dikra, kem chhe? Bachcha kem chhe?' And while others may turn a deaf ear, the Parsi 'maaiji' is ever ready to dole out advice on the common cold, cough and backache, and hand you generations-passed-down, home-made recipes to cure them, which, though awful smelling and tasting, are twice as effective as any medicine in the market. On the other hand, her Parsi husband will come and declare all the 'drama' is unnecessary; stating that 'ek peg Brandy' will cure all your illnesses! Parsis by nature are very inquisitive. Visit any Parsi 'baug' and you will know what I mean. Scores of Parsi 'maaijis' will be sitting in the garden, gossiping about how 'Framroze ni dikri pela Jehangir na dikra saathe fari raheech.' or 'Mare, aaje Veera ne tyaan motti toran chhe. Kai lagan chhe su?' And who can ignore the early morning bargaining with the 'goswallo' and 'machchhiwalli', old Parsi 'maaijis' in their nightgowns and 'bawajis' in their 'Sadra-Legha', arguing in their half-broken Hindi, loud enough to wake up the entire colony - 'Arre kaiko itna bhav bolech, jaraa kami kar. Lootva bethach' or 'Surmai taaji chhe ke? Jara barabar dev. Chori mat kar.' Another distinguishing feature of Parsis is a clean, well-kept house....because for Parsis, Cleanliness is not next to Godliness. It is as important as Godliness itself. And the doorstep will always have 'chalk' and 'toran'. The bigger and more colourful the 'chalk' and heavier the 'toran', the bigger the occasion. And speaking of occasions, no one can celebrate weddings and Navjotes with more fervour and gusto than Parsis, who believe in making merry and living life King-Size! Attend a Parsi wedding, and I am sure you will not leave until you have eaten to your heart's content, had the traditional 'chaato paani', danced like there is no tomorrow, and made friends with every invitee – be it women resplendent in 'garas' or men in spotless 'daglis'. A common sight at these functions is ladies trying to put their match-making abilities to the test by finding out if there is any 'kumari chhokri' in the family who cannot find a better boy than 'aapro Jamsheed'! Another thing Parsis are known for is their cuisine.. Ask any non-Parsi what the first thing is that comes to their mind when they hear the word Parsi, and pat comes the reply 'Dhansak' and 'Patra ni Machchhi'.. 'Akuri' is a favourite among many of my non-Parsi friends, and the 'Lagan nu Custard' is a delicious end to any sumptuous meal. Parsis are the only community who are traditional, as well as modern. Only in Parsi households will you know who Elvis Presley is, and also hear old 'monajats' and 'garbas'. Only in a Parsi household will you know that Tulsi was thrown out of the house in 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', at the same time knowing about Adi Marazban's Gujarati 'nataks'. Yes, we do have our share of problems and controversies (more than enough actually!) but at the end of the day, we all belong to one religion. We all believe in Zarathushtra, Ahura Mazda and Sarosh Yazad. We all believe in the power of Ashem Vohu and Yatha Ahu Vairyo. And that's what finally matters. Being proud of our glorious past, living in the difficult present times, and believing in the bright future awaiting our community. On a lighter note - yes, we are eccentric, yes, we are loud and yes, we will voice our opinion on everything under the sun (whether it concerns us or not, just like the Bengalis do). But finally, it's the warm, loving nature that we all have that sets us apart. Love us, or hate us, but you just CAN'T ignore us! And all said and done, I'm very proud to be a Parsi. Aren't you? ---NATASHA DEBOO

Parsi communities in Hyderabad, Navsari and Surat provide participative support to The AVESTAGENOME Projectä. Avesthagen team to visit Baroda and Ahmedabad in first week of March. Surat, February 13, 2008: Avesthagen Limited, a knowledge-based Life Sciences Company, has successfully initiated the first phase of The AVESTAGENOME Projectä, undertaking blood sample collection of the Parsi population in Hyderabad, Navsari and Surat. This large-scale genomic project aims to study the basis of longevity that is noticed in the Parsi-Zoroastrian population, and also to create a medical database of the community. The AVESTAGENOME Projectä is the brainchild of Dr. Villoo Morawala - Patell, Founder Chairperson and Managing Director of the Bangalore-based Avesthagen Limited. This project is a scientific endeavor that is designed to benefit the entire human race. The results of the research will identify the genetic basis of longevity and for various diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s etc. The study will also enable the development of new therapies and drug targets. After completing the blood sample collection from Parsi donors at Hyderabad and at Navsari, the Avesthagen team has started the project at Surat from the 10th February at the Parsi General Hospital. The Surat Parsi Panchayat is lending full support and assistance under the able guidance of its President Mr.Darayas Master. The Trustees, Secretary, Committee members and staff are providing tremendous assistance and encouragement towards the success of this project. The Avesthagen team from Bangalore comprising Doctors, Scientists and Bioinformaticians has set up a center for the collection and processing of the blood samples from the donors. They are being assisted by volunteers from the Parsi community in Surat who are mobilizing members of the community for this worthy cause. The response from the community has been very positive as is evident by the large turnout of donors to date. On completion of the sample collection drive (433 samples) in the twin cities of Hyderabad-Secunderabad in December 2007, Mrs. Gulbanoo Y. Chenoy, President PZASH in a note to Dr. Patell observed “On behalf of the Parsi Zoroastrian Anjuman of Secunderabad and Hyderabad and the parsis of the twin cities, I would like to convey our appreciation of your pioneering work through the Avesthagenome Project. Your deep sense of commitment towards improving the quality of life is reflected by this humane and philanthropic project, which is indeed a matter of great pride for us .We wish you and the Avesthagenome Project all the very best. May the blessings of Ahura Mazda be upon you and your company. Following Hyderabad, the Avesthagen team was in Navsari, from January 6 to13, 2008. The response from the Parsi population of Navsari was most encouraging, and 686 samples were collected. The seriousness of purpose and the professionalism of the AVESTAGENOME team won over the initial scepticism of the Navsari Parsis, and encouraged by Dara Kaikhushru Deboo, an advocate by profession, and a trustee on the boards of several Parsi social, educational and charitable institutions of Navsari, the donors poured in all day enthusiastically to participate in this study. The Parsi youth of Navsari, under the able leadership of Freddy Minoo Kassad, with immense enthusiasm, resourcefulness and energy, facilitated the entire sample collection drive to its successful completion. Navsari Parsis have by and large held on to the exclusivity of their customs, traditions and religious rites. Senior citizens of the community, overcoming their physical difficulties came along with great pride to demonstrate their solidarity with the study. The youth and middle-aged members of the community did not lag behind in their enthusiasm either. According to the octogenarian Mehru, wife of Ervad Ruttonji Seervai, and granddaughter of the famed Parsi scholar Sir Jeevanji Mody, “Every Parsi must come forward and be a part of this scientific study, which is the first of its kind that I have known of, because this will open up new avenues of knowledge and help not only in the alleviation of the medical problems that rack the community members, but of the human race as well.” For 87-year-old Hillamai Edulji Antia, wife of the late Mobedji of the Navsari Atash Behram, “It is a sacred duty to help in such a study. When such highly qualified scientists and experts drawn from different communities are taking such a keen interest in studying our Parsi genetic make-up, and have come all the way from Bangalore to Navsari, what does the little physical discomfort that I have to undergo in coming to the venue matter? _________________________________________________________________ About Avesthagen Limited Avesthagen Limited (www.avesthagen.com) is India’s leading integrated systems biology platform company that focuses on achieving convergence of food, pharma and population genetics leading to predictive preventive and personalized healthcare.

Posted by Naoroze on 2007-10-01 21:49:21

It was sad to see how many Parsis, oblivious to the fact that the Lookmanji Sweets owner was guilty for the loss of an innocent life, have been patronising Lookmanji sweets during our New Year & prophets birthday. Nothing falls on our deaf ears does it? We believe in having our Lookmanji Jalebis and aghani larvas even if our fellow parsis die at the very place these sweets are made and sold. And we call ourselves a close knit community, a claim I think we must withdraw in honesty. Ask the family of Firdosh Mogrelia how it felt to send their daughter to the Tower of Silence at the tender age of 19. Think; how you would feel, had the same fate befallen your own. Thaen step into Lookmanji and indulge my fellow Parsis. Let forgiveness of this hineous crime come to the corrupt owner, by the hand of God, but as humans, let us not be oblivious to his greed and misdoings. This man has murder and the blood of an innocent on his hands. May God speed justice to the Mogrelia family.

I am not a Parsi so I hope you will forgive me for using your message box. I am trying to locate Parsi's with the surname Buxey to try to link them into my Worldwide One- Name Study.There are current one's I know but the earliest I have is Jehangirjee Buxey in Bombay/Hong Kong in the early 1800's. Can anyone help please? Thanks John Bucksey

Kalpesh, Thanks for posting the cookbook message. Can we convince you to donate it to us (the community)? If not maybe something like eBay might be a better place to get a fair value and maybe land it in the hands of a diehard Parsi foodie. If nothing else works I would suggest that you try out some of the recipies in there .. maybe you might not want to part with it after you go thgough a finger licking, lip smacking, taste bud tingling gosh no pulav, masala ni daar and kolmi no patio.

Yes, I agree with Karl and request the Parsi community to boycott the sweets of Lookmanji till the owner is brought to books but as we all know money rules. So, he will go scotfree within no time and people will forget about it but only the family of Meher Firdosh Mogrelia will never forgive him. We all know they will not be in a condition to take legal action against the owner but one of us should take action against the culprit and can bring him to books as the same thing is not repeated with some other innocent person. We can all imagine the trauma the family must be going through but only pray to Almighty to give them enough strength to bear the loss of their dear daughter. We Parsis should come together and boycott LOOKMANJI SWEETS.

We request all patrons of Lookmanji sweets (all over India) to boycott their sweet shops until the owner is brought to book and punished for manslaughter. An innocent Parsi girl of 19 years lost her life due to this mans greed. Please help us spread this word......... 25 Jun, 2007 MUMBAI: Two persons died when a partially demolished building near Novelty cinema on Grant Road collapsed because of the rains on Saturday evening. The deceased were identified as Mohammed Alam Khan (43), who was manning a sweet shop in the building (Lookmanji Sweets), and Meher Firdosh Mogrelia (19), who had come to the shop. The incident took place around 7.30 pm, when a portion of the dilapidated Ali Ahmed Manzil on Maulana Shaukat Ali Road at Grant Road gave way following heavy rain. Mogrelia, a resident of Gamadia Colony in Tardeo, had gone to the shop with her mother to place an order for sweets. "The mother had just stepped out when the debris came hurling down. Mogrelia and Khan got trapped inside, while the others managed to escape,"said C Guzder, a local resident who helped with the rescue operation. " It was only around 2.30 am that Mogrelia’s body could be recovered from under the heap of rubble.’’ Nirmal Deshmukh, the Mhada repair board chief officer, said the dilapidated four-storeyed structure did not house anything except the sweet shop, the owner of which had earlier gone to court to challenge a redevelopment proposal for the pre-1940 building. Following the court’s ruling, the upper two floors of the building were being demolished. "The shop was kept open even during the demolition work. On Saturday, triggered by the heavy rains, a portion of the first floor caved in, killing the two,"said Deshmukh. The Mhada official added that the housing board was taking legal advice on the action that will be taken against the shopowner for his negligence. The shop owner of Lookmanji sweets is absconding. The post-mortem report stated that the girl died of suffocation and Khan succumbed to his injuries. The girl’s father who works in a bank in Chennai flew down on Sunday and the last rites were performed in the evening. The police are investigating.

As the group of "neo Parsis" have managed to set up a "new Agiary" somewhere in the suburbs, I would request them to make arrangements so that the likes of Ms. Dhun Baria and her kin can "dispose" off their dead in any which way they may choose & leave the rest of us to continue our traditions at the Doongar Wadi.

HELLO, I AM SENDING THIS COMMUNICATION, THO SINCE THE LAST TEN YEARS IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT MOST ZOROASTRIANS ARE NOT WORTH CONTACTING, OR THAT THEY ARE SIMPLY GOOD TIME ASSOCIATES. I HAVE HAD A DECLINE IN FORTUNES AFTER A LEGAL BATTLE THAT WAS A BUSINESS ONE . HAVING APPROACHED THE PARSI PANCHAYAT IN MUMBAI AND THE TRUSTEE OF THE AGIARY IN NEW DELHI - MRS.DHUN BAGLI, AND HAVING RECD ONLY FURTHER "BADNAMI" AND NO ASSISTANCE, I AM CONVINCED THAT PARSIS TODAY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEIR RELIGION STANDS FOR AND THAT TOO MUCH MONEY IS GOING INTO THE POCKETS OF THE WRONG PERSONS. PHILANTHROPHY WHICH WAS ANOTHER NAME FOR ZOROASTRIANISM IS TODAY ABSENT. THE PANCHAYAT TRUSTEES LINE THEIR POCKETS SO THAT 10 GENERATIONS OF THEIR FAMILIES LACK FOR NOTHING. HOSTS OF HOUSING COLONIES BELONGING TO THE PARSI COMMUNITY ARE FILLED WITH ELITE PARSIS WHO ARE ABLE TO DOLE OUT HUGE DONATIONS, WHILE DESERVING PERSONS AWAIT THEIR TURN FOR YEARS. PERSONS LIKE ME WHO HAVE NO ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD, ARE REFUSED EVEN A HEARING, BECAUSE A BAD NAME PRECEDED ME. WHAT CHARITY AND HELP DO PARSIS TALK ABOUT???

Posted by Masa on 2006-03-31 04:59:40

this article was published a month ago in jame and would like the same article to be printed on thi site too. Parsi chokrio naa naatak It’s now become really common to hear a relationship break off (especially when both the guy and girl are parsis) Parsi girls have problems for every small thing one can think of. First of all they don’t like to talk, even when we try to just let them know about our feelings, they think its rubbish and just end the topic then and there. When it comes to going to a guy’s place for what we call ‘kaaj karava’ they have a really aggressive approach. They have very interesting questions. Aapre lagan pachi kem rahisoo, bhonu kaun roundhse, mane ketla piosa kharachva aapse if I don’t work, aapre honeymoon par kau jaisoo, tu dastoor chee kee etc etc etc…………… It is really difficult to match up with a bawi’s mind and this seems to be one of the reasons for increase in the number of inter-caste marriages. I am not joking but I can write a whole book on ‘Bawi naa natak’ A recent example can be taken for one of my best friends. My friend named Anosh (name changed) used to earn more that a lac every month. He gets friendly with a girl online and gets serious about her in 1 month’s time. He undergoes the ceremony of ‘Rupiya peria’ goes back to work abroad after fixing the marriage next year. Things get worse when the girl’s family starts asking money for house renovation, new dress/clothes, money for changing the interiors of the flat and the list goes on & on & on. For each of these things the girls family keep on asking 30 to 40 thousand rupees. Atleast in this case I don’t blame the girl as the girls family had premature plans of getting their girl married in such a wealthy family. There are many such instances that I have come across. I don’t say that good parsi females are impossible to find but it is surely difficult to find a good understanding parsi girl/family. I just hope things don’t become worst in the days to come and may all parsis live happily together. (feedback and comments welcomed at iamaparsi@yahoo.com)
