Good Going, Parsi Times!

ByPT Reporter

Dear Editor,

It is indeed a pleasure to start the weekend reading your editorial. You pick up topical topics and say it as it should be said, peppered with a bit of wit and humour. As Editor, it is your job to place facts on the table without being judgmental, however bitter it may be. I do believe that the present generation of Bawas are just basking in the past glory. Parsi youth just do not have the drive and determination to make a successful business. They are too satisfied. I am hoping to read more truthful editorials from you. This is your space and you should utilize it wisely, judiciously and an eye-opener to the community. Parsi Times will definitely grow in such able hands.
