Dear Readers, An eruption of corruption? OMG! So to bring you up to speed, last week Parsi Times printed in our Parsi Point Section a series of allegations BPP Chairman Dinshaw Mehta was accused of by BPP Trustee Yazdi Desai. They included favouritism in bidding, keeping other Trustees out of the loop, sending in goons to cow Desai down and multiple points, clear indications of discord within the Boardroom...the Boardroom of a Trust that is looking more and more like a very dangerous and irresponsible caretaker of Community wealth, property and welfare. Every once in a while, Parsi Times dedicates our vibrant and truthful space to these Issues. Issues, that most of us feel uncomfortable discussing and would rather leave to the old uncles and aunties who enjoy a bit of gossip. It is a dirty job to print all of it. A harsh reminder to us at WKH37RIÀFHDQGDUHPLQGHUWRWKH&RPPXQLW\WKDWEHKLQGWKHJODPRXUIULHQGVLQKLJKSODFHV and the generous donations and grand speeches that the BPP Trustees make, there is a truth we all have to come to terms with... a bitter one. The truth is that it is great to have ‘friends’ who make life convenient for you when you want DÁDWKHUHDQGDSDUNLQJORWWKHUH%XWEHIRUH\RXJRDERXWSOHGJLQJ\RXUDOOHJLDQFHWRDPDQ ZKRIDYRXUV\RXRYHUVRPHRQHSRRUZKRUHDOO\QHHGVDURRIRYHUKLVKHDGUHPHPEHUWKHÁDWV you get, the favours you exchange for votes (because votes are power) are NOT his favours to bestow.

They are not! The Trust funds have come from families that had faith in our Community and generously donated so that we could live comfortably while earning a living and supporting our families. By thinking Trustees as bestowers of gifts and turning a blind eye to their destruction of the system, we have let down WKHWUXHEHQHIDFWRUIDPLOLHVZKRGRQDWHGDQGJLIWHGXVWKHVHSURHUWLHVLQWKHÀUVWSODFH FaceBook Like: Parsi Times Newspaper We hear stories of bullying, threatening, padlocking homes and ripping roofs off houses... then sadly a few thousand ruppes are donated to a Colony event / cause... and everything that is wrong is forgiven! Is that how much we are worth? People are selling out their families, their neighbours, their colonies and worst of all their intelligence for small functions and gambhar style free food, where BPP Trustees are generous enough to ‘attend’, give speeches and shake hands condescendingly! Wow! Where did we go wrong! But we have a chance to set it right. The 1st step is not shouting or screaming in protest. We have to take the time to UNDERSTAND our rights and our RESPONSIBILITIES in equal measure. Parsi Times has taken the hard road and made no ‘friends’ in this regard. We have always printed everything that the Community needs to know and hoped that indivuduals stir themselves into action. Last weeks’ letters from the desk of BPP Trustee Yazdi Desai evoked a huge reaction. Our LQER[HVKDYHEHHQIXOOZLWKSHRSOHZKRKDYHÀQDOO\GHFLGHGWRWDNHWKHLUVWDQGVDQGGHPDQG respect. So before you grumble about Parsi Times dedicating space to these Issues that readers have sent to us in our Parsi Point Section this week, read and understand what price you really pay for a ‘friend’ in the BPP. And so begins the hard part for Parsi Times...

It is indeed creditable that both children have excelled considering the fact that they live in the far off Salsette Colony at Andheri. They owe their entire success to their mother Nazleen who daily ferries them for training to Dominic Savio Grounds. This family from Andheri gathered the other athletes from Salsette and came for every training session of the Parsi Punchayet Coaching Camp at Rustom Baug, Byculla. The dedication and hard work is bound to bear fruit and hopefully bring athletic glory to the Parsi Community.

n Sunday, June 9, as the day turned to dusk, the residents by P.T. Reporter Swati and guests of the Gamadia Colony gathered at the Sethna OAgiary Hall to greet the evening with excitement and anticipation for celebrating their Annual Jashan Ceremony. Since last 15 years the Gamadia Colony Welfare Association has been organising this Jashan in the month of June (Dae Mah) to thank the Almighty for success, health, wealth and prosperity and welcome the monsoons whole-heartedly. Prayers and rituals performed by the priests heralded the beginning of the evening programme followed by a 2-minute silence in memory of Late Rohinton Tablewalla, a Managing Comittee Member of the Association who died last year. Then next, a talented young lad Rayan Diventri (8) was felicitated by Phiroze Sethna, President of the Association for winning the Mumbai District Gymnastics Team Championship held recently at the Bombay Physical Cultural Association in Wadala. Soon after this Benaifer Mehta (47) and Dogdau D. Mehta ( 45 ) occupied the centre stage and took the DXGLHQFHRQDPXVLFDOMRXUQH\E\GDQFLQJWRWKHEHDWVRI6XÀDQGVHPLFODVVLFDO dance forms.

Our kids were rehearsing and putting in their hard work since 15 days and they have done an excellent job. I am proud to be their choreographer but this wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of Nekzad Malegamwalla and Vahishta Gotla who have spared their time to teach the perfect dance steps to the kids.

Along with activities the kids made beautiful jewellery for their mothers as Mother’s Day Gift. The kids also enjoyed To our Wonderful Father a pyjama party and pot luck You held our hand when we were afraid, You showed us the light When it was dark.

Since the time you took us to school and to the park, actually even much before that, you loved us from the bottom of your HEART.

We are SORRY we troubled you of delicious pastas, maggie, and at times, hurt you too.... chicken farcha and ice cream. But we love you as much as you do.... At the end of the month these kids performed dances And we want to THANK YOU, for their parents. The evening for just being there for us, wherever and whenever we have needed you...... had a good audience. The kids also put up a fashion show Love DELHOM choreographed by Delna K.
