Dear Readers,

It’s been a good, up-beat week for our community, with news from across different fronts bringing in smiles and a general sense of happiness and well-being. And your favourite weekly, as always, is at the forefront, breaking news on our ever so popular Facebook page (facebook.com/parsi.times), as also ensuring to provide you with the latest and authentic information every Saturday.

Hearty congratulations to our young adults – our school and college students – who have done their parents, their schools and our community proud with their extraordinary success in the Board exams! And Kudos to the parents and caregivers who supported and supplemented this success! As always, Parsi Times celebrates your success with our Community via our Special ‘Parsi Pride Brigade’ Column (Pg.10), so do share your success stories with us (editor@parsi-times.com), which will not just fill our Community with a sense of pride in you, but also serve inspirational for your successors.

The week also witnessed the enthronement ceremony of the auspicious Dadgah Saheb at Della Tower by Jimmy Mistry, in a grand function open to all community members. Kudos to Jimmy Mistry for not just organising such a great event, but for also offering a platform that fostered a sense of belonging and unity within community members.

And speaking of community solidarity, all seven Trustees of the Bombay Parsi Punchayet have come together to support the Writ Petition filed in the High Court, disallowing the construction of the Metro Rail tunnel from passing under our sacred Atash Behrams.

It is said, ‘where there is unity, there is victory’. May this brand of unity be blessed and continue to grow and fortify our community as one.

Have a great weekend!

    Revised Tax-Free Investments… Profits Guaranteed! Dear Readers, The obvious hot topic of this week, the Union Budget, seems to be one that doesn’t change too much for most of us. Which is a good thing – we could do with the breather post the ‘demon’etization – a racist (anti-black) exercise in national exhorcism (pun intended)!…

    Dear Readers,   We’ve all heard about the phrase, ‘A stitch in time saves nine’. But like all things else, which need to adapt to the changing times, perhaps this phrase too needs to be improvised just a bit… more than the right ‘stitch’ or action, we need to inculcate and activate the right ‘shift’…

    Dear Readers, Love, Actually With Valentine’s Day round the corner, many get into frenzied brainstorming sessions on gift-giving. From the humble card, which professes all kinds of affections, as if trying to make up for the lack of a ‘real gift’… to the ‘real-gifts’ themselves –dazzling solitaire diamonds on platinum bands or race-cars or then,…
