Basi raj bordam darin sal-e-si ,ajam zindeh kardam ba din parsi
I bore hardships for thirty years and I revived the mute with the religion (civilization and culture) of the Parsis.

Pending confirmation of suitable venue the tentative dates are intended to be Friday, Saturday , Sunday 3,4,5 January .2014 , in Mumbai .
Those who have been to her exhibition before, know the painstaking and great efforts that go to make her exhibition a success. The most likely venue would be Sohrab Palamkot Hall, if it works out.

Established on July 16 1956, The Muncherjee Nowrojee Banajee Industrial Home for the Blind (MNB) is a monument to the munificence of late Serenbai Banajee who gave this bungalow for use and occupation in memory of her father to start a residential industrial and vocational training centre for visually-challenged men. Thus the Muncherjee Nowrojee Banajee Industrial Home for the Blind was registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act 1950.
