Dear Readers, Today marks India’s 70th Republic Day – with India’s Constitution coming into force on January 26, 1950, completing our country’s formal transition into becoming an Independent Republic. Most of us, as Indian citizens and community members, take our freedom and privileges, respectively, for granted. Perhaps we could take some time to reflect on…
Dear Readers, It’s been a muddy couple of weeks for our Community – even at the expense of sounding repetitive, I have to say our Community has been dragged into the national media yet again for all the wrong reasons. The BPP Trustees’ issue doesn’t seem to be heading out of the woods anytime soon….
Dear Readers, We’re just getting done with only the second week in the New Year, and already, and again, the Community is made to bear the brunt, it terms of both – its image and its welfare – as some of our elected Trustees take on each other in public… yet again resorting to social…
Dear Readers, As we wake up to the dawn of the New Year, and the excitement of the ‘newness’ ebbs, after the parties and all the merriment, let’s pause to take in a few deep, long breaths. Let’s breathe in the good that the present holds and the New Year heralds, and let’s breathe out…

In fact, the season also marks the convergence of Parsis from the world over, to partake of the festivities and…
Too Much Of Anything… Dear Readers, They say too much of anything is toxic and will destroy you. This statement holds true for most things – the foremost being our dependency on Social Media for information. Social media platforms are neither known for accuracy, nor accountability. It doesn’t take much to realise, that if our…
Dear Readers, It’s been an interesting, news-packed week for the Community. First the good, no wait, the GREAT news! The Community is thrilled to celebrate the fabulous cricketing performance of Arzan Nagwaswalla scalping a fabulous five wickets (for 78), against Mumbai’s seasoned middle-order batsmen, bringing immense joy to Team Gujarat and even more pride to…
Cultivate The Art Of Giving During The Festive Season During the festive season, we allow our spendings to skyrocket – we get a little more self-indulgent, we are more liberal with our purse-strings in making purchases for our family and treating friends. We revel in a smugly pleasant sense of satisfaction when we give to…
Happiness Is Pursuing Purpose, Not Success Dear Readers, Most of us believe that success leads to happiness. We constantly chase something or the other, that will lead us to ‘success’. Our sense of success is competitive and quantifiable – in terms of our progress in our lifestyle and relationships, and across our financial, professional and…
