I am trying to trace my Kalyaniwalla family roots. The only information I have is that my great grandmother met my great grandfather, Mr Kalyaniwalla of Mumbai, while he was studying medicine in London some time prior 1920. Unfortunately I do not have my great grandfather’s first name. If this loose description of Mr Kalyaniwalla matches an ancestor of yours please contact me (Kalyan Kingi) at kalyankingi@gmail.com. Refer to the photographs below depicting my grandmother for potential familial resemblance. 

I am trying to reach Mr. Fram N. Balaporia.  I met him in 1960 in Mumbai, at that time Bombay city. 

He was a film Exhibitors at Lotus, Jayhind and many other theatres, in Bombay. He had a office at Tribhuvan Road, Bombay. I was a student at  K.C. college at that time and often went to his theatres on weekends and at new movies premier show. Mr. Balaporia was very successful and had a nice Impala car. However, he was always accessible and kind to me. He was most caring person. When I was not too well, he had write a nice letter and introduced me to his family friends Mrs. Irani who lived in Panchgani,  a hill station outside Bombay. Mrs. Irani was equally nice and had welcomed me to her beautiful home. She had a son who was handicapped and stayed home in their nice home. 
If you have any information about Mr. F.N. Balaporia family members, I would to like to contact them. I will appreciate, if you please send me at my following email address or text me.

Hi, I’m Bakhtaver Katila living in Sydney Australia. I’m looking for my friend Shahnaz Irani who was in school with me in Karachi, Pakistan. Shahnaz and myself completed our Secondary school education together in 1973 from the Mama Parsi Girls’ School in Karachi. My friend Shahnaz migrated to Iran around 1975 to join her brother and his wife. From memory the brother’s name is Mehraban or Mehraboon. Her brother is married to a Zarthushti Irani girl from Iran. My friend’s father worked for BOAC (now known as British Airways) for many years in Karachi. They resided in main Saddar area of Karachi and lived in an apartment building opposite a famous bakery called Pereira Bakery. After a few years her parents too left for Iran. I very much want to connect with Shahnaz. My email is marzbeck9@hotmail.com and my mobile is +61 435 388 608. Anyone with any knowledge of Shahnaz’s current whereabouts please help so that I could contact her.

Thank you for your help

THE HOUSE THAT NAOROJI MADON BUILT
NEAR KOKINE LAKE, MYANMAR

Greetings. I am Hoshang Dastoor from Parsi Colony, Dadar, Mumbai. My grandfather Naoroji Madon built a house called “FIRDAUS” near Kokine Lake, near Rangoon, Burma. He and his family – wife Tehmina and daughter Dr. Sarah (my late grandmother and mother) – came to India as refugees in the wake of the Japanese invasion in 1942.

I am planning to visit Burma in February 2018 and one of my top priorities is to locate this house. The visit to Burma is a cherished and sentimental dream as I grew up listening to stories of life in Burma. There is no point visiting unless I can locate both Firdaus and also Kennedy House, the other house that Naoroji built.

I do not know the name of the street where Firdaus was built, only that it was built on a one-acre plot was near Kokine Lake, about 7 miles from Rangoon proper, and described as a mansion..

Here is an available brief description of the house as Naoroji designed and built it:

· There was a rose garden in the front of the house.
· Living, dining and guest rooms situated on the ground floor.
· Three bedrooms and toilets upstairs
· A corridor connecting the kitchen, pantry and storeroom to the rest of the building.
· Venetian stained glass panes illuminated the staircase.
· Rooms were large and constructed with high ceilings and ample windows so that the interior was bright and airy
· A forest of rubber tress flanked the rear of the plot and was visible from a bedroom.

Please help me to trace the whereabouts of this house (Firdaus). Anybody with relevant information may kindly contact me. Contact details are:
