Happy 11th B’day, Parsi Times!

As Parsi Times completes eleven auspicious years, on behalf of all at Parsi Times, I thank you – our ardent readers and steadfast supporters – for your constant encouragement, enthusiastic participation and invaluable feedback through this momentous journey.

It has been an inspiring and exhilarating journey. What started out eleven years ago – with the aim of being the voice of the community and bridging the gap in terms of Parsi news and representation of crucial issues – is today the community’s favourite weekly with excellent reach, across Mumbai, India and the globe, thanks to our increasingly popular digital version. PT is blessed to be the recipient of so much love, warmth and cheer – thank you for the lovely wishes, greetings and blessings received.

Stepping into our twelfth year, Parsi Times renews its commitment to providing the finest content in terms of news that is reflective of the journalistic principles of truth, accuracy, editorial neutrality and accountability; and features that enrich and entertain.

PT remains committed, more strongly than ever, to untiringly furthering the cause of our community’s progress and prosperity, by providing a platform aimed at unifying us all as Zoroastrians – immaterial of our differences or beliefs. We pride ourselves in being the foremost connecting-ground for our worldwide community.

I take this opportunity to extend gratitude to all who have been a crucial part in our journey of our growth and evolution – our staff at PT who works untiringly to ensure you don’t go a single weekend without your favourite publication; our array of truly gifted and expert writers whose words do not just adorn, but elevate PT’s standing as a quality-content weekly; our advertisers and supporters who help us sustain our little outfit… but most of all, we thank you – all our dear readers and well-wishers – for PT’s marvellous success and popularity.

Do keep the feedback coming, as it forms the crucial yardstick with which we not only measure our success but also decide upon our direction, as a responsible weekly. We pledge our ongoing commitment to you as the Number 1 weekly that is ‘Of the Community, By the Community, For The Community’. Here’s to Parsi Times on its eleventh Birthday… and here’s to you!

Have a good weekend!

– Anahita
