DearD Readers, EEverything is a mess! The Community had so many issues to deal with tthis past week. The verdict of the Renegade Priests case was badly rreceived and still cloudy to say the least. The Code of Conduct that wwe all rooted for has been approved by only a portion of the BPP as it ddoesn’t work to the advantage of some and the Election Process has bbeen halted simply by the meddling of one party. How is it that everywhere I go I meet amazing, esteemed, intelligent Parsis and yet as a collective we seem to only see things as divided into factions or not see them at all. Ego colours our judgment and being in other people’s good books charters our courses. I am looking forward to this Election. I would like to see someone with gumption. Someone with heart and brains take over. Someone who laughs in the face of chamcha-giri and doesn’t gift homes to friends in return for silence and other favors. Someone who won’t get impressed by the seat of the BPP and will instead make his or her own impression on it. Someone who will make the BPP the proud prestigious body of GOOD people. People who don’t hunger for the ‘saibji’ and who really want to take decisions for the good of the people. Someone who will empower the youth with homes and loans and sanctuary so that they may go forth into the world and prosper (and procreate little parsi young ‘uns) with zeal! We don’t need someone ‘holier than thou’ but someone ready to sink into the sludge WKDWZHKDYHFUHDWHGLQWKH'15RDGRIÀFHRIWKH%33DQGVHULRXVO\FOHDQLWXS6RPHRQH Matrimonial alliance invited from parents of a cultured, who makes the BPP a happy place to work and to visit. graduate, working Parsi girl, aged 38 years, I want a Trustee I can Trust. from well-settled, well-educated, Parsi boy from cultured family settled in Mumbai.
