Miles To Go And Promises To Keep! We step into the second half of 2018 as a community which seems to have grown in unity, especially over the past few months. It was wonderful to witness the community’s unity manifest into the much-needed ‘Save Our Atash Behram’ Movement, last month. And more recently, the BPP…
It’s Election Time Again! We all are aware of the drama created by Mr. Cama’s resignation. A mere technical issue could have been solved internally, instead it was dragged into the courtroom for an endless period of time wasting precision time and money. It is election time again. A single candidate does not make a…
Unnecessary Chaos In The Community On behalf of myself and others, I congratulate PT Editor Anahita Subedar and Delaveen Tarapore for giving detailed information along with drawings of the Metro III project.

Unlike most others, Mr. Tamboly is not after power or position, he does not abuse or insult…

Paul’s letter suggesting that a crematorium be established at Doongarwadi, I believe it’s difficult getting permission, and even if granted, it won’t be exclusive for our community.
