Parsipanu On Jamshedi Navroz! Dear Readers, It was most lovely to behold the true-blue display of our Parsipanu on Jamshedi Navroze on Thursday – despite it being a middle-of-the-week-day, but moreso, despite the disheartening news that while the government didn’t think it worth their while to heed our appeal about moving the Metro Line, it…

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….
