Film and theater actor Boman Irani was introduced to cinema at a very young age; when he was only 12, his mother used to insist that he go and watch the same movie 20 or 30 times and learn from it. But he took a meandering path to becoming an actor. His first job was working as a waiter. He then sold burritos from the family store, and later became a photographer. Getting into acting was almost an accident.
Today, with more than 60 films under his belt including hits such as Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and 3 Idiots, Irani has also forayed into television with an interview-based serial titled “The Achievers Club.” The problem with Indian cinema, he notes in this interview with Wharton operations and information management professor Kartik Hosanagar, is that there are no good scripts. Irani was a participant at the recent Wharton India Economic Forum (WIEF) held in Philadelphia.

Little children are using all their imagination in making beautiful pieces of art using junk thrown aside at home. Hoofrish Jehangir Bisney conducted a creative craft workshop for children to help discover their creative talents.
Children there made creative colourful stationery holders from empty plastic bottles, utility containers from ice-cream sticks, funny paper-weights from pebble stones, fancy fish mobile hangings from old CDs and a lot more. “We have immense fun by making the best use out of the waste material” says one of the enthusiastic kid.
“Art & Craft has always been my passion. I started as a hobby at home and later went on to teach at reputed schools. To see the happiness and smile on my students’ faces is my best reward” says Hoofrish Jehangir Bisney the teacher. Apart from the children this art and craft workshop plays a major role in satisfying parents who generally keep worrying about their kids during summer. “My child is found busy doing useful things these days instead of sitting and staring at the Idiot box” says a parent.

We are planning to run from October to December 2013 in the Brunei Gallery at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). Entitled “The Everlasting Flame: Zoroastrianism in history and imagination” it will provide a visual narrative of the history of Zoroastrianism from its birth in Iran, over 3000 years ago, to its emergence as the religion of three great Persian empires. The story will continue with the journey of Zoroastrians to India and their growth as an immigrant community under British colonial rule. The entrepreneurial success and philanthropic achievements of Parsis in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries will form a major part of the exhibition.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a conference that will bring experts from all over the world.
The recent interest in Zoroastrianism in the world has created an opportunity to showcase the history, religion and culture of this ancient faith and its shadowy but powerful influence on religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam and its historical reach into Central Asia and China. The enduring ability of the Zoroastrian communities in Iran, India, Pakistan and the wider diaspora to live in harmony in their host countries while maintaining their distinctive religious and cultural identity, often in adverse circumstances, is one of the most powerful messages of this exhibition.
The project has the support of Mrs Pheroza Godrej who will be collaborating with Mrs Firoza Punthakey Mistree – both of whom have agreed to play a curatorial role based in India.
The exhibition also has the support of Professor Frantz Grenet, Professor of Religions of the Ancient Iranian World and recently elected to the Collège de France, Dr Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis, Curator of Middle Eastern Coins in the British Museum and Dr Ursula Sims-Williams, Curator of Iranian Collections at the British Library. We will be exhibiting antiquities and artefacts pertaining to the ancient Iranian civilization from the British Museum, the British Library, the Hermitage The Uzbekistan National Museum and the CSMVS in Mumbai. From the latter institution we hope to have on temporary loan some paintings from the Tata Collection in the Western Gallery.
In addition to obtaining antiquities from India and elsewhere we plan to create certain key exhibits engaging the talent of Indian designers and builders in partnership with our UK-based exhibition designer (Colin Morris Associates). The primary focus of the latter part of the exhibition is the installation of a full scale model of a Walk-in Fire Temple, which will allow visitors to experience what appears to be a continuous and ancient form of worship for over 2000 years.
One of the enduring legacies we envisage which will emerge from this exhibition will be to find a permanent location in Mumbai for this walk-in Fire Temple, allowing people to experience for the first time how the Parsis, who are so well known in Mumbai, celebrate and worship their faith. Such a permanent exhibit will help to clear the mystique surrounding fire temples in India and will be a great learning tool in the study of comparative religion and in the understanding of different faiths.
The second installation is a reproduction of the building inscription of Darius the Great at Persepolis, complete with the magnificent lions and bulls, etched on glass to scale with the facsimile in the British Museum. This would be a unique and visually exciting way of presenting the backdrop to Imperial Iran and the Persian king’s invocation of Ahura Mazda.
It is our intention to donate both the Walk-in Fire Temple and any other created materials to a permanent exhibition space dedicated to Zoroastrianism in the city of Mumbai. I should add here that an exhibition such as ours has never been done before and may also be travelling to the USA where immense interest has been shown for an exhibition on Zoroastrianism.
If you see fit to support our venture then of course you would be acknowledged in the exhibition catalogue and other literature wherever appropriate.
I would like to request that you spend a few minutes looking at the dedicated website which gives a clear idea of how we would like to present the exhibition: http://www.theeverlastingflame.com

The city’s Gujarati speakers of an older vintage will fondly recall the plays of Adi Marzban, the playwright and director who was synonymous with Parsi nataks from the 1940s to the 1980s. The nataks were usually comedies packed with double entendres, slapstick and nifty wordplay in Gujarati and performed by a set of actors devoted to Marzban. Some of them got together last year to perform Laughter in the House, a collage of vignettes from Marzban’s revues that premiered on his birth anniversary on April 17, 2012. Directed by Sam Kerawalla, the show, which gets its title from Meher Marfatia’s eponymous book on 20th-century Parsi theatre, will be staged on Sunday, April 7 at the National Centre for the Performing Arts.

Parveen Rabadi left Lahore in 1974 to join the Mama Parsi Girls’ High School in Karachi – little did she know that the love and affection of being part of the school’s legacy would not let her go back.
“It has been a very challenging journey but now when I look back, I feel an assurance from within that my time with this school has taught me a lot,” Rabadi, the headmistress at the school’s afternoon shift since 1991, said while talking to The Express Tribune.
Rabadi and her team of 39 teachers cater to around 700 girl students in the shift.
“I was a simple and inexperienced young lady, even a crybaby at times,” Rabadi said with a chuckle, recalling her early time at the school. “But I credit all the qualities that I find in myself today to the school and my colleagues. They taught me how to take on challenges and face hardships.”
