This may interest those who lived in the DPC. Probably it has a picture
of the building you once stayed in. Or like me, may be surprised finding a bench dedicated in the memory of a dear uncle & aunt. Fifty years ago, I was there with them for a short time. It was beautiful then.
Jer & Commander Noshir D. Irani, –Parents of Gool, Mahrukh, Ivy & (forgot her name as I write) –lived near the band stand. Noshir was the cousin of Dinshaw J. Irani, ( Songs of the Gathas ) and also the uncle of Prof. Kaikushroo D. Irani of New York.
May I request you guys ”Down Under” who know Gooloo Shiraz Katrak to pass on the links to her. I do not have her current email address.
Thanks.

I lived in DPC as a youngster. Moved to Karachi in 1947.
Pictures were very nostalgic. However captioning would have been abig help. Thanks

It was great re-visiting the lush green streets of Dadar Parsi colony. The buildings have changed – high rise added to the original structures – a sign of the times. The five gardens are the emeralds in the crown of the colony. Fond chilhood memories. Captions of what photo was taken on which street would have been helpful. Sure appreciate the visual treat.
Thank you!
