RELIGIOUS ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dear Readers,
The long drawn so called ‘Renegade Priests’ Case seems to be coming
to a close and we all await the release of the ‘Terms of Settlement’. What
disturbs me is that since this news hit the Media, the two Priests for whom
the case was being fought have been telling anyone who will listen that they
IHHOOLNHµVDFUL¿FLDOODPEV¶
The bone of contention has always been the fact that the High Court was to decide if the
BPP, a Charitable Trust whose ONLY role is supposed to be that of Custodian of Community
property, has the power to pass Religious Decrees and Fatwas. Now rumour has it that these
‘Terms of Settlement’ may also christen the BPP as a Religious Trust. If these rumours are to
be believed, and I hope not, then the Settlement itself is a grave betrayal of the Community. I
hold my breath…
In any case, take the time out to de-stress and relax on the weekend with Parsi Times. Our

for a book published by Mr. Behram

In the synopsis of the book

amongst other things it has been
mentioned “...and the GOOD work
done by WZO and ZTFI’s India
Chapters (under Tamboly) are
worth pondering over”.

landmark& telephone number. I
tried to contact on telephone but
the number was not available.
I searched the area but nobody
could help me. The local people
too were not aware of Agiary. Some
people send me to Jain Temple. I
lost all hopes of visiting the Agiary.
I said to myself O Ahura Mazada
please help me. I saw two Guajarati
ladies passing by. I asked them to

them said it is near Mona School.
At last I found the Agiary. The
caretaker was a very kind person.
But the condition of the Agiary was
not so good. During rainy season
water collects near the place where
FIRE is kept.
Firstly I would like to suggest
some signed boards to be kept for
the location of the Agiary. Secondly
I hope some Philanthropist will help
to renovate the Agiary.

Dear Editor,
The Jiyo Parsi scheme may not
go further in numbers. If we have to
gain in numbers we have to admit
children of mixed marriages into
our fold. I know quite a few Parsi
ladies who have married non- Parsis
who visit Agairys and their children
wait outside. Why do we forget
that these were also our sisters,
daughters at one time? Can’t our
High Priests take a onetime call
and allow their children inside. Our
sacred Fire won’t fade away. If this
can be done in other Communities,
why not ours? Is our blood different
from the Hindus, Muslims and the
Christians who are more tolerant? I
feel that our Religion discriminates
and is anti female.

Dear Editor,
Day by day with the passage of time,
His black deeds are not worth a dime;
As the grey cat gets older and bolder,
He mouths untruths & deceives & lies,
Shameless is he – see the look in his eyes,
His conscience grows bloodless & colder;
The grey cat is a member of a cult satanic,
His thoughts, words & deeds are so very sick;
Never a thought does he give to the morrow,
He tops in tainting people with shades black;
His attitude to clean people is limp & slack,
He generously doles out barrels of sorrow;
In the BPP he is notorious for many a howler,
Even as his mannerisms get stormier &
fouler;
The countdown to BPP elections will begin,
In his grab for power, he enhances avarice,

B

Association
(BTBWA)
on the occasion of its
49th Anniversary organized a

the Parsis back in the 60’s by

titled ‘R D Burman Nite’ by
Music Dhara at Birla Matushri
Sabhaghar on Saturday 21st
February, 2015.
BTBWA was conceptualized
in the year 1964 when our
Country was at war. During the
blackouts the members of the
colony felt a need to have an
Association which would bring
together all the Residents
of the Colony. So in October
1965, BTBWA was formed with
a handful of members. The
Association is now running the
49th year and doing very well
in all its objectives.
Over a period of time with
the help of Colony residents
and other institutions they
were able to build up a corpus
which enabled BTBWA to carry
out various activities like,
monetary monthly aid to needy
residents of the Colony, Medical
Aid to the needy on a case to
case basis, Annual donations
to institutions like Red Cross,
Parsi Ambulance Association,
NAB, Parsi General Hospital,
CRY, etc., Donations to Agiaries
(Fire Temples) which need help

forefathers.
The program continued for
almost three hours and the
audience from the age of 10 to

melodious songs sung by the
orchestra members. After every
performance the hall echoed

those who own both shares and property and who claim that their shares are linked
to their properties.

“I can’t believe it has been 26 years since I started Mustang! Back then,
it was unusual to see women in the manufacturing sector and there were
some speed bumps along the way. But now, the journey seems well worth
it. I am so glad that with government-backing platforms like this, women and
young entrepreneurs are being encouraged to follow their passion - even if
their passion is making good quality socks. I am humbled and I thank you all
for the love that Mustang Socks has got!” – Nazneen Katrak.

superbly depicted by Firdausi
XVLQJKLVSRHWLFÁDLU,QWKHGD\V
before the media onslaught into
our homes, Zoroastrians would
gather in tea houses, parks or
any open spaces to hear the
Shahnameh. It is unfortunately
a lost tradition which the
Nowrosjee. N. Wadia Welfare
League aspires to revive.

The Monajats by the children were an absolute delight. The slide show
on our ancestor Cyrus the Great brought tears to my eyes. A great effort
by Jinaz Mistry. I enjoyed the Shahnameh Recital by Ervad Parvez Bajan
Saheb. Thanks to the Nowrosjee N. Wadia Welfare League for organising
such a unique, informative and entertaining evening.
The
evening
started with Mr. Purvez
Davar, of the Welfare
League
welcoming
the audience. Mr. Jal
Adajania,
President
of the League, then
gave a short synopsis
of the activities of the
Nowrosjee N. Wadia
Welfare League. This
was followed by 26
young Zarthostis ranging
in age from 6 years
to 13 years reciting
the
Humbandagi.
The children all in
their red topis were a
wonderful sight. Next
on
the
programme
was
a
Shahnameh
recital by Ervad Parvez
Bajan. There were many in
the audience for whom it was
WKH ÀUVW WLPH WKH\ KDG KHDUG
a Shanameh Recital and were
completely enthralled by this
mesmerising experience. The
Shanameh is the history of
the kings and queens of Persia
written by Firdausi nearly 1,000
Persian couplets reciting the
story of a Persian King Behram
Goor. It was a sight to see the
young and the old Parsis come
together as one Community and
listen with rapt attention to
the recital. After the recital,
Ervad Dr. Ramiyar Karanjia then
was called upon to address
the audience. He spoke on our
tarikats and why we should
inculcate them in our children
right from the start. He pointed
out that our Religion has simple
yet profound laws of nature
which if followed, can bring us
good health and happiness.
Ervad Dr. Ramiyar Karanjia
enlightened the crowd on how
simplistic yet profound the
tarikats of our Religion are.
Post the speech was a
presentation on Cyrus The Great
of the Akkamenid Dynasty. This
Dynasty has no mention in
the Shahnameh but was one
of the most important as it
laid the base for the Persian
Dynasty. Cyrus the 2nd or as
we call him Cyrus The Great,
was introduced by Anahita
Desai as our forgotten ancestor
whose qualities need to be
remembered and inculcated in
this day and age. He is called
‘Great’ not just because he had
the largest Empire in antiquity
nor because his Empire was
the richest but because of
his qualities and the way he
governed his vast Empire and
treated his subjects and the
vanquished. His life aim was
not to be “the richest” but the
“most benignly powerful man.”
The
introduction
was
followed by a slide show with
commentary by Jinaz Mistry,
which focused on life of
Cyrus, his victories and how
his upbringing was responsible
for his greatness in later life.
Children were raised to be a
part of the Community and
contribute to it when they
grew up. Cyrus believed that,
“Obedience should not be a
result of compulsion and good
fortune was no excuse for self
indulgence.” These were not
just words but something he
practised in everyday life.
Even in the Cyrus Cylinder he
mentions that people
were free to leave his
Kingdom, if they were
not happy. And he would
not wage war against
them. But so sound
were his governing
principles that people lived
happily under his rule and for
200 years after he died. The
slide show was interspersed
with the singing of Monajats
by 26 young Zoroastrians. The
children were the stars that
night. Their soulful rendering
stirred the hearts of all those
present.
The
evening
ended
with a scrumptious patru
by Tanaz Godiwalla which
was appreciated by all. The
Committee Members of the
Nowrosjee N. Wadia Welfare
League thank Tanaz Godiwalla,

High Profile
President of ICICI Bank, Zarin Daruwala, has a seemingly easy but tricky job. With
over 25 years of experience in the banking sector, she handles portfolios worth US
$50.00 billion. She is consulted by many top Indian promoters before they make
strategic decisions. She is ranked as the 21st most powerful woman in India by Forbes.
P.T. Writer Kyra Marshall has a candid chat with the powerful lady about her work and much more.
Parsi Times: What are your
views upon your job? Is it
relatively
interesting
or
immensely hectic?
Kyra Marshall
Zarin Daruwala: I think it’s
interesting and hectic. That’s
all I can say in two simple words.
Overall, it is very satisfying to
make a difference.
P.T.: You have spent more than
25 years at this institution.
Hasn’t your job become quite
monotonous for you?
Zarin: I have really moved
around in ICICI Bank. I started
my career in a department
called,
“Resources
and
Corporate Planning.” Later, I
moved to Delhi where I moved
into investment banking, within
which I set up the private
equity desk in ICICI Securities
Limited. Post that, when I
came back to ICICI, I was in a
group called, “Major Clients
Group” and then I was asked
to run the agriculture business
business. Later, I moved back
to corporate banking. Now, I’m
running the wholesale bank, so
it’s been quite a journey.
P.T.: Who inspired you to enter
the Corporate World?
Zarin: When I cleared my CA,
being a rank holder, I had got a
lot of offers from many reputed
companies. In those days, there
was no internet, hence there
was very limited access to
information. So, I went to Mr.
Malegam who was my mentor
and under whom I had done
my article-ship in SP Billimoria
and company. He guided me to
give a thought to ICICI as it is a
good place for women. Hence,
I applied and got through quite
easily and I have been here
ever since.
P.T.: Technology has a major
LQÁXHQFH RQ RXU OLYHV +RZ
has technology, such as
computers and the internet,
impacted on how you conduct
your work?
Zarin: I think we have come a
long way as a bank. According
to me, we’ve always been
known as a technology leader.
I remember way back in 2000
or 2001 when I worked on the
internet banking for corporate
customers and I recall the
ÀUVW VXFK WKLQJ ZH WULHG RXW
with Hindustan Unilever and
since then whenever I think
what we did then and what
are we doing now is a lot of
progress. We’ve come a long
way in internet banking, the
kind of products and services
that we offer our customers,
it’s a huge transformation!
Today you can open letters of
credit, bank guarantees etc
online. The kind of products
we offer the government
banking customers, whether
it’s e-auction or streamlining
their own processes etc. It’s
been a long journey and it’s
a constant evolution because
you constantly want to offer
products which are cutting
edge. That is why a lot of the
products we offer are the ‘First
time’ in India kind of products.
For example, the online LCBG

How
does
the
working
environment for women and
intellectual colleagues help
you?
Zarin: ICICI has a lovely working
environment, especially for
women because I’ve observed
that since the last 25 years
there’s an increase in gender
neutrality, and I don’t think
that at any point of time I’ve
felt that I’m a woman. I’ve just
felt like anybody else. In fact, I
was asked to run the agriculture
business which requires you to
travel to rural areas where you
PD\QRWHYHQÀQGDZDVKURRP
for the whole day. So, it taxes
you as much as it does to any
other male colleague of yours.
To that extent I would say, it’s
exciting and challenging.
The other good thing about
ICICI Bank is the intellectual
stimulation that you get as
most of the people you deal
with are all CAs, and MBAs from
well-regarded institutions. A lot
of the people that we pick up
are merit rank holders,hence
there’s a lot of intellectual
stimulation I get by surrounding
myself with such competent
colleagues.
P.T.: Your colleagues are always
seeking advice from you. Have
you ever had the need to seek
advice from anybody in terms
of business?
Zarin: Of course I seek
advice. I think learning is a
constant process. I don’t think
anybody knows everything. I
continuously seek advice from
my boss, peers and colleagues.
P.T.: What is your management
style?
Zarin: I am considered as a
democratic leader. My style is
very accessible, human and I do
delegate a lot. However, if the
situation requires, I am hands
on.

THE GOD WHISPERER - CHAPTER 2
T
he family was at Talegaon
where
Sohrab
and
Shireen had bought their
second home. A three hour
drive from Mumbai and just half
an hour after Lonavala, towards
Pune. The family took every
opportunity possible to come
down and enjoy the lovely
weather here as it was much
more pleasant and cooler than
Mumbai’s seaside clime. The
rolling hills and riverside had

they visited this small town.
The weather remained very
pleasant, and the monsoons
added
greenery
to
the
surroundings, and that’s what
scored over everything else in
Shireen’s books. The tiny town
had a major working population
of couples who worked in the
industrial areas surrounding
Pune. The remaining population
comprised of retired and aged
couples and people who had
bought a second home there
and lots of stray animals,
particularly dogs. Soli woke up
with a start and gently woke up
his wife Shireen and told her
about the dream.
Shireen and Soli considered
this place as their paradise
and even the children enjoyed
themselves thoroughly on every
occasion. Jeroo encouraged
her son and daughter-in-law to
make short trips to Pune and
meet up with their friends,
while she looked after the
children happily content to
shower love upon them and
receive their affection. All
four of them, Simone, Sheroy,
Hormaz and Hazel doted on
their grandmother and Jeroo
never felt any stress even if
she single-handedly required
to care for them all by herself,
while Soli and Shireen were
away. The twins were 15 years
old now and Sheroy loved to
run the errands for any task
his grandmother would ask.
Every time he stepped out he
took the opportunity to pitstop
at Balubhai Vada pav and tuck
in a missal-pav, if it was early
morning and carry some vada
pav home for the others (which
vanished without a trace as
everyone
relished
them).
Simone played her part of the
big sister to Hormaz and little
Hazel with practiced ease as
both looked up to her with
awe. She had learnt to cook up
Parsi delicacies from her granny
and mother and was a big
help to Jeroo in the kitchen.
Sheroy was very partial to any
opportunity to read and was
also interested and curious
about opening up mechanical
things and reassembling them,
as a hobby. Simone called him
“Mr. Fixit Right” ever since he
helped repair her Barbie doll

that there was not a trace of

to play hide-n-seek in and

it was Hormaz’s turn to catch
his elder sister, who outran
him with ease. A tired Hormaz
complained to Jeroo “Mamma

she runs so fast?” he reasoned
matter-of-factly. They had a

the balcony of the terrace.
A sudden gust of wind caught
her hair which blew all over
her face. She felt a calmness
she had never felt before as
the white light engulfed her
entirely. She turned around
and saw her family in animated
conversation with each other
completely oblivious to what
she was experiencing.
“My dear Simone”, said
rule of living a great
OLIH«$&&(37$1&(µ
“Something
that
is
handled with nonacceptance
becomes
negative
and
when acceptance is used,
becomes a positive. Let me
expand on this for you Simone
dear. Acceptance will keep you
emotionally tranquil whereas
non – acceptance will keep
you in an agitated state and
encourage a feeling of lack. You
feel fear at times? Sometimes
when you are unable to
face a situation where you
are uncertain about the
outcome you are overwhelmed
with fear and anger. But if
you accept that you do not
know the outcome and still
persevere then that results in
a positive emotion, tolerance.
A man skiing down a mountain
slope accepts fearful thoughts
of an accident but calls it an
adventure. If he allows negative
thinking to prevail it becomes
fear. When something is about
to happen over which you have
no control and you accept this
fact, it becomes tolerance. If
somebody is able to achieve
something that you wanted for
yourself, you call it jealousy, but
if you accept it you transform
his/her effort into inspiration.
If somebody is able to produce
the result that you are unable
to produce, and you refuse

PT. SPECIAL SERIES
to accept it, you manage to
create negativity and jealousy.
But if you accept that and tell
yourself that such and such a
person’s action inspired you
to believe you can achieve
the same result by doing it in
a different way than you were
doing it; it becomes inspiration
and a positive emotion”.
“Acceptance of the fact
that you cannot change
other
people’s
behaviour
will always stand you in good
stead. The only thing you can
change when faced with such
a situation is yourself, and
your thought process to avoid
feelings of despondency and
disappointment. Instead of
Expectation… which invariably
leads
to
disappointment,
incorporate Acceptance into
your psyche and thinking. Life
will become much easier and
tolerant for you.”
With these words His voice
faded out and Simone felt a
tingling sensation as the import
of the life lesson from the
Almighty sunk in. Jeroo sensed
that Simone had just had a
close encounter with the Maker
and caught her granddaughter
in a loving embrace. “It felt so
real mumma, He was telling
me about Acceptance. I felt
no fear throughout, only peace
and calm. The voice was very
distinct and clear, I remember
every word He said.” said
Simone, as she buried her face
in Jeroo’s bosom.
“Yes my child” said Jeroo,
“You have been chosen by him,
no less, as His Whisperer. We all
need to heed His instructions.
Now come and tell us what He
spoke to you about.”

What does that mean?
Dear Dikri,
Dae pa Meher is the Angel/Yazata who is the Hamkara to the Mighty Yazad, Meher, whose
day follows next. Connecting with Dae pa Meher attunes you to the Angelic energies of
both these Holy beings. Dae pa Meher also is considered the giver of Friendship, Love and

against Scotland. It clearly shows that
Scotland lack international exposure when
it comes to ODI cricket.
The biggest clash of the week turned into a
big disaster for the West Indies. South Africa
had the upper hand from the first ball itself as
they won the game handsomely by 257 runs.

Name...Urvaksh Cyrus Kharadi.
I work at... L’vista Designer Furniture.
I work as... Interior Designer.
That basically means... Designing interiors of residential as well as
commercial areas, designer furniture and creating drawings for the
same.
My work day begins with... Browsing for new designs that can inspire
me to create my own.
I love this about my job... I feel it is very interesting because once you
start to visualize an area; you get to explore and design a new world in
your thoughts which in turn reflects in your design.
I wish this would change about my job... I wish the clients stop changing the finalized
designs during every meeting so that the site can be handed over quickly once they finalize
the design.
I have been working here for... 1year and 3 months.
I head to office and head back home at these times...
10:30 am – 7:00 pm.
Some of the things that make up my work day… When my boss appreciates my designs and
hard work.
Someone I think has an interesting job is… An Interior Designer and a Photographer.
