    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.

  11. Rehman Vohra Says:

    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.

  24. Cherag Kelawala Says:

    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.

  42. Bomi Chinoy Says:

    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 !

  43. Bomi Chinoy Says:

    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 ?

    • bomi Patel Says:

      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 Chinoy Says:

        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.
