The local Parsis were known to gather there for all their auspicious occasions. It is easy to see why. The garden may be enclosed by high grills and gates but being within it gives you a sense of freedom from the cacophony around. As Parsi Times prepares a wonderful August Special Issue for all our Readers to treasure, we took a break and headed out there for inspiration and a touch of magic that only comes with a smile and a deep breath of fresh air. (In the case of Mumbai city, we do with semi freshness!) Our pages are as always, spaced well and cover a range and variety that makes ours a truly family affair.
