We too were living in Jhansi from the early 50′s till 1968 till he was transferred to Secunderabad. My Dad was working for the Railways too and were first residing at the Boyce Compound. My mother Aban gave birth to her daughter Farida and me at the American Hospital; and another son Vispi at the German Hospital near Singal pura. From the boyce compound we shifted to Garya Phatak; then to Singal pura and finally at Bharucha compound ( Lal Bungalow) behind Central Hotel. My sisters Irene, Bakhtawar and Farida passed out from St. Francis Convent and Suryaprasad college; I and my brother from Christ the King High School. We had a great comunal feeling in Jhansi especially during the Papeti and Navroz times. My childhood freinds were Farokh Ankleseria, Farshogar Ankleseria, Darius Driver, Percy Gheewala, Percy Engineer, Gev and Pervez Ogra. My love and respect to Dhanji Uncle (I would love to meet him some day) my Dad’s closest freind. My entire family have fond memories of their Jhansi days. I have now settled down in Pune.

dhunji kaka stays hardly 20 yards away from my house in jhansi …n i m his all time big fan ….
I hail from Jhansi having being born and brought up to the age of 23yrs after which I shifted to Bombay in the year 1958 for further studies. My father and grandfather were both born and lived their full healthy lives in Jhansi. They took a loan from the Railways of approx Rs.28,000 and built one of the stronges and bigges bungalow of a big verandah and eleven big size rooms with a surrounding land of approx 2,000 sq. feet. Apart from the Bungalow which was well known in Jhansi as the Red Parsi ka Bungla they also built two large size houses each of 4 big rooms a kitchen and a courtyard. We were in all 7 children two sons and 5 daughters.
During the 50s there was a parsi population of approx 500 zoroastrians which today has been reduced to approx 8, all aged above 60 years. Most of the parsis served in the Railways but were very contended and happy living a very comfortable and peaceful life as one big family. Festivals and marriage / navjote function were also very enjoyable.
Its really sad that such a great community has come to such a state.
what a coincidence …i know both of u …though not a parsi but a great admirer of the community n certainly having seen n known all of u through my fathers heart ….Col Raj Kishore Dubey ….
