Dear Yazdi and associates,
You gave me a big fright
When you said you had a new website,
But when at your site I took sight,
I gained a lot of insight!
I have studied everything with great delight.
On the Parseess you’ve shed a lot of light,
And made them appear so bright.
To your future ideas more might!
UShta te.

I could never expect more than what I have seen, read and observed on this site. I am an old virbaijeeite having graduated in 1954.
I came to know about the sad demise in 2002 of my principal and mentor Mr Behli Rustomjee through Ardeshir Cowasjee, my senior in the School. A loss which can never be filled.
I would welcome any of my schoolmates to a long association reminiscing the days passed at the School.

News channel “India TV” on 2/10/2008 telecast a report at 11 pm about the palace of Narsinh ( An avtaar of Vishnu ) wherein they show the ruins of Parsipolis and depict it as King Narsinh’s palace. It also said that it is situated in North Iraq. Such false report they telecast and that too on a national Channel is deplorable. Earlier they had telecast the Parsipolis, Tomb of Cyrus with a commentary that this is YAMLOK. Can not somebody write India TV to stop such absurd reports completely ignoring great Zoroastrian history and its legacy.

I would love to hear from any of my old Parsi school friends from St. Mary’s — particularly Pilsum Master, Mehernosh Dah, Pervez Dastur, Jimmy Shroff, Nozer Dadachanji, Jimmy D.F.D.Lam, Rusi Meherhomji, Percy Darookhanawalla, and many others whose names I do not recall but whose memories are still fresh in my mind 51 years after I left school. THOSE WERE THE DAYS !
23 December, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Bomi:
My God I just saw your E-mail request while I was googling my name. I have thought of you often, and it pains me that after I left St. Marys I lost touch with almost every body except Mehdi Padamsee (who was with me in St.Xaviers College for a while) and Phiroze Amroliwalla. I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. I moved to Canada after getting my M.Sc in Geology in the US and worked in the mining industry for 32 years.. I then retired but went back to work in IT. I am married to Ruby for 39 years and have two sons and a daughter. I am a grand father — my daughter has a 1 yr old son and another packet on the way. I remember your mother who used to come to school. Please let me know about your self any any body else you have kept in touch with from our group.
Regards
Pilsum
24 December, 2009 at 5:30 pm
My dear Pilsum,
I was delighted to hear from you after all these years. We were so close during our school days and then we just lost touch — almost as if we had disappeared from the face of the earth ! It is good to re-establish contact now even though we may be at the fag end of our lives — thanks to modern technology which gave us the Net. Please do keep in touch regularly from now on without fail. My email i.d. is “chinoybomi@hotmail.com”
Do write to me. We have a lot to discuss and catch up on.
As I read your communication I noticed several similarities in our lives.My wife Jaloo and I have also been married for 39 years. We too had two sons and a daughter (unfortunately the daughter and one son were cases of premature birth and passed away before we could enjoy them).The surviving son(our eldest) whose name is Fredy completed his ISC from St. Mary’s and went on to do his Masters in Electronics & Communications from Rutgers Univ. U.S.A. He is now settled in Virginia USA with his wife and one year old daughter (another similarity) .So both of us are grandfathers of one year old kids.
Jaloo and I both love to travel. We have seen several cities in Europe, U.S.A., Iran, Egypt, and China. In the year 2004 we took a cruise to Alaska and covered the Canadian Rockies. In fact on our way back we passed through Calgary before eventually going to Fredy’s place. If I had known you were in Calgary I would have come knocking at your door and surprised you !
Do send me an email and we will continue this conversation. In the meantime Jaloo and I wish Ruby and you along with your family all the very best for the New Year 2010.
Regards,
Bomi.

My late aunt Gool Screwalla passionately believed in the imminent arrival of Shah Behramshah Verzavand but I was sceptical about it and even teased her frequently by asking her if she had heard anything from him lately. She passed away quite some time ago (soon after I visited Iran) and I now find myself regretting my earlier attitude. In fact after observing the recent turmoil in Iran I now fervently wish that saviour Shah Behramshah Verzavand would really appear and rid our dear Iran from the tyranny of the mullahs. Can anyone enlighten me further on this matter ?
22 August, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Dear Bomi,
I am from sec’bad and have settled in Mumbai Powai. Now for a year in doha qatar. When were you in Iran? Selfish motive in communicating with you is to find out the must see places in Iran. I am planning to visit in mid Oct. Shiraz, Persipolis are my current targedfor 6 day visit. what other nearby city would you reccommend.
Bomi +974-6458464 / beepjai@yahoo.com
25 August, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Dear Bomi,
Iran is an exceedingly beautiful country. I firmly believe every Zoroastrian MUST make at least one visit to our Madrevatan in his/her lifetime (just as every Muslim makes a visit to Mecca). I visited Iran in May 2004 and found all the places (Tehran, Caspian, Hamadan, Isfahan, Shiraz, Persepolis, Yazd) beautiful and unforgettable. it is difficult to pin-point any one place as being better thn the others. I have visited many countries in the world but none has affected me as much as Iran –you will know what I mean when you visit it.

Hi Ron,
Thanks for your prompt reply and accepting me as a groups member. My name is Sobby Javed and i live in Lahore, Pakistan as i have seen on internet about the Organization and website (Delhi Parsis). Also i have been in correspondence one of the Zoroastrian organization.
Please to know that what is the procedure to convert in this ancestor religion…?
I have seen and study some Zoroastrian books. Also i have studied about ancient Iran articles.
As you have wrote that you may help alot the people who would like to convert in your religion.
The reason of my email is that to confirm by you that if somebody converts (Zoroastrians) what should he do?
Can you plz answer my question i am very keen of it.
