SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2015 02 Editorial DearD Readers, This week, the Community was shocked by the vulgar and marketplace cacklingc that took place in the holy sanctuary of the BPP Board Room. Young ParsisP sat in a circle and heard the recordings with me in disbelief, commenting ono the foul language. Older people winced throughout with tears welling in theirt eyes. Who would have understood the sheer size of the problem if it werew just ‘reported’?! Now it is out there for all to hear and to react on their owno phones and Whatsapp chats. +RQHVWO\WKLVLVQ·WWKHÀUVWWLPHZHKDYHKHDUGDERXWLQFLGHQWVOLNHWKLV7KHEUHDNGRZQLQWKH lines of communication and the absolute disrespect that the Trustees have for each other is common knowledge to the Parsi Press and to the unfortunate thousands who have no choice but to interact with these custodians of Parsi Zoroastrian Property. Now it is common knowledge, with the release of WKHDXGLRUHFRUGLQJWKDWWKHUHVSHFWIXODQGGLJQLÀHGRIÀFHVRIWKH%33RQFHRFFXSLHGE\VWDOZDUWV and exemplary men and women is seriously in a sorry state. We wonder though, if this behavior had it not been recorded and gone viral, would this brawl, like so many other brawls and threatening bouts of anger have gotten hushed up, stricken from the record or worded differently? Highlighting further the rift within the BPP, 2 versions of the Minutes of the Meeting from Tuesday, when the recording was taken, were allegedly created separately and circulated to the Board Members on the 15th of May around 2 pm and 6 pm respectively. One version is sanitized and the other trivializes the affair. Time will tell if the Community has the gumption to understand and face this problem with some serious changes and less food!
