What My Job Entails… Average Parsi Kid I am… A very Parsi job What my job entails… - Talking to Parsis of all age groups through the day - Understanding how to interact with Parsi Trustees… - Understanding the Parsi businessman and how he wants to spend on branding and quality - Understanding the reading, cultural habits of the Community and what they like/ dislike - Making an effort to introduce the basic qualities of being tolerant, higher educated and more involvement with Community Affairs Five things my job has taught me (or is still trying to teach me!) •Patience with people is equal to respect for people. •People are darpoks one-on-one but super heroes in big groups! •If you don’t know Gujarati wing it! And you shall survive! (Nod vigorously and say vaaru vaaru!) •Children do pick up everything…. Kids are likely to do unto their parents in their old age what their parents are doing to their grandparents. •More often than not, ‘Circumstances’ make decisions for people and not their ‘inner conscience’ or ‘Religiosity.’ •More often than not, people judge people based on their own world view, not understanding that there exist bigger and better parameters than their own. A little bit I know about you… Well accomplished A broader view of life due to education and location Interested in your culture The Baug Life CUSROW BAUG •1934 •Gated Community More than 50% of Mumbai •600 plus families Parsis live in Baugs! •A football field, a gymnasium, three gardens, a fire temple, a grocery store and a clubhouse DADAR PARSI COLONY •Religious classes that teach youngsters •Largest gathering of Parsis in the •Cusrow Baug United Sports & Welfare League world •Dadar, Wadala and Matunga. •3 schools, two swimming pools, and over 15 thousand Parsis. •Schools, shopping areas, over eight playgrounds and fields, four gymkhanas and clubhouses, two libraries, a fire temple. •The extremely popular five gardens, created by Sir Mancherji Joshi and they serve as invaluable ‘lungs’ to the much congested Dadar-Wadala-Sion route. Picture courtesy Google! Why you should know The Baug Kids •They grow up alongside you in the same Religion •All problems related to our Religion are their problems too •Brought up together they have similar mindsets •They form part of a sub culture; the Baug culture •They are a representation of how Parsis are in this city •Understanding their values and mindsets make you understand the generation Return to Roots What we have compiled for you…The mindset of the kids in Parsi Baugs Our MO •The PT Girls called up a random selection of Parsi Kids •On the condition of anonymity, they each took out an average of 20 minutes to answer •The questions were simple to answer and easy options were given •The results are here for you to make your own conclusions •All data was tallied and put into % format •The sample size was 50 •The results interest us so much we are targeting a 1000+ survey soon!

  • Study of Housing Typologies in Mumbai
    HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN MUMBAI CRIT May 2007 HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN MUMBAI CRIT May 2007 1 Research Team Prasad Shetty Rupali Gupte Ritesh Patil Aparna Parikh Neha Sabnis Benita Menezes CRIT would like to thank the Urban Age Programme, London School of Economics for providing financial support for this project. CRIT would also like to thank Yogita Lokhande, Chitra Venkatramani and Ubaid Ansari for their contributions in this project. Front Cover: Street in Fanaswadi, Inner City Area of Mumbai 2 Study of House Types in Mumbai As any other urban area with a dense history, Mumbai has several kinds of house types developed over various stages of its history. However, unlike in the case of many other cities all over the world, each one of its residences is invariably occupied by the city dwellers of this metropolis. Nothing is wasted or abandoned as old, unfitting, or dilapidated in this colossal economy. The housing condition of today’s Mumbai can be discussed through its various kinds of housing types, which form a bulk of the city’s lived spaces This study is intended towards making a compilation of house types in (and wherever relevant; around) Mumbai. House Type here means a generic representative form that helps in conceptualising all the houses that such a form represents. It is not a specific design executed by any important architect, which would be a-typical or unique. It is a form that is generated in a specific cultural epoch/condition. This generic ‘type’ can further have several variations and could be interestingly designed /interpreted / transformed by architects.

Mumbai and Delhi people cold shoulder each other just as well as Californians and New Yorkers do! But I got to admit, a few days in the Capital for a Mumbai-ite like me wasn’t all that bad. The difference begins as you step off the plane. In Mumbai the hot air hits you, in Delhi it’s like the clouds just ate a Minto fresh and then paused to bellow ‘Hi!!!” The ‘mind-your-own-business’-ness of Mumbai people is quickly replaced by the Auntyji Analytical stares of Delhi. The cool collected ϐǤ But the roads of Delhi are heaven! Ten minutes into a drive and you are greeted by landscaping, proper signals, well organized pedestrian routes and Ǩϐǥ underrated charisma. Heritage has found a home in the capital. Large areas are cordoned off as archeological heritage sites. The amount of land dedicated to the stories of the past would make a Mumbai builder slash his wrists in greed and confusion! ϐ Ǥ ǡ everything.

  • Will Mumbai Beat Miami in Art Deco Buildings?
    Will Mumbai beat Miami in art deco buildings? Nergish Sunavala | TNN | Updated: Apr 29, 2018, 11:59 IST Art Deco Mumbai Trust has identified 316 Art Deco buildings across Colaba, Matunga and Dadar Parsi Colony Until Art Deco Mumbai Trust finishes its documentation, there’s no way to know whether Mumbai exceeds Miami’s count of around 800 buildings One of the several buildings that made Marine Drive famous A boxer’s wrinkled face framed by an Art Deco grille gets tagged #DoggieInDeco. The cream-coloured crown of Eros Building, adorned with red Agra sandstone, draws a comparison to a Bharatanatyam dancer wearing ‘alta’ (a bright red dye) on her hands and legs. And two adjacent Matunga buildings, Jitendra and Jagdish, are said to share an “inner soul” because of their identical Art Deco staircases with “Tetris style” jigsaw designs. These lyrical descriptions of Art Deco elements on social media are just one of the many ways in which the Art Deco Mumbai Trust hopes to raise awareness about this architectural style and make it more accessible to Mumbaikars. Started in May 2016, the Trust also conducts neighbourhood walking tours for school children and university students, records oral histories and photo documents Mumbai’s Deco heritage through extensive fieldwork. But the latest feather in their cap is being admitted into the International Coalition of Art Deco Societies (ICADS), a prestigious global organization, with members in 13 countries and 29 cities, whose mission is the “promotion, appreciation and preservation of the Art Deco style”. Art Deco Mumbai Trust is one of only three societies to be admitted from Asia.
