Dear Editor,
Now we have a fresh topic to argue about... Organ Donation.
I Personally think, it is a very sensitive topic... very intimate and personal. When it comes to saving our own life or that of a dear one, we bend n break rules.
Can we see our child, parents siblings or spouse die? I guess it is circumstances that one is guided by. why are we making this a religious issue? I should be left to an individual. There cannot be a rule. please print this little note of mine, as I wish to share it with our readers and tell them, please do not make an issue of everything. leave it to the individual and his circumstances.
Your Sincerely,
Af Dastur

Dear Editor,
With reference to my last write up in P.T. on the issue of litigation against a senior citizen Ms.
Baghwalla by the BPP since 20 years for a mere inter connecting door from the bedroom to the toilet. In the Board meeting of November 18,
2014. It is learnt that the Trustees of the BPP in their Board meeting by a vote of majority have decided to review all such litigations on a case to case merit basis only. This step will effectively cut down on litigation cost. I hope some Trustees does not become a spoilsport and stop this.
The second safe located in the
Board room is also opened by 2 staff members along with a Trustee
2 weeks back and the inventory was in process. I am not aware what is the mahurat date for the other safe to be opened. The police will delay the investigations because this is not a celebrity case. The Charity
Commissioner will delay hearing because the Charity Commissioner has a roof over his head and does have any idea of the sufferings of our Community. If only due process was followed and transparency maintained this would not have happened.
What we have been saying since months about the functioning of
BPP is now gaining momentum and
WKH&RPPXQLW\KDVÀQDOO\UHDOL]HG how they have been taken for a ride with free food packets and hollow promises. We cannot allow them to waste another year on underperformance. The Trustees either perform or perish. The need of the hour is good governance.
This time food packets & shamianas will not work.
Cawas’s resignation has opened another Pandora’s Box which I have been saying all along in P.T. about parroted CEO’s and Executives.
Mr. B. T. Dastur was the last CEO who was a thorough professional and did not take crap from any of the Trustees and stood ground on what he thought was in the best interest of the BPP. He had to resign because he refused to play the role of a parrot. The late Mehli - though
QRWTXDOLÀHGIRUWKH&(2·VSRVLWLRQ because he lacked administrative qualities which are a must - survived because he was ready to parrot what was told, ready to sign what was put forward to him, ready for compromises. Thus the BPP was run by a Trustee and
2 trusted aides, the CEO and the
Housing Executive. After Mr. Mehli’s sad demise The Senior Housing
Executive continued to toe his line and thus survived had I and another
Trustees not intervened. The said senior suspended Housing Executive misused his power and position for personal gains which are on record
LQ %33 ÀOHV 7KXV WKH 6U +RXVLQJ
Executive was suspended by a vote of majority. Some Trustees made all efforts to retain the Sr. Housing
([HFXWLYHÀQDOO\DFRPSURPLVHZDV reached and he was suspended but on a condition that he would sit at home but receive his full salary + perks. The price BPP paid to silence a parrot, thus from July until this day he continues to get his salary delivered at home. This is the
Community Funds which the Trustee is blowing up to maintain skeletons from further falling. The Trustees have no inclination to appoint a
CEO because they want control and were looking at someone like a acting CEO without powers. Next option was Cawas who the Trustee thought could be manipulated but that did not happen because he refused to toe the line of Trustees and hence the resignation. The next victim is Aspi Sarkari but rest

Dear Editor,
In Godrej Baug, one poor
Parsi Mobed Saheb was arbitrarily
KDUDVVHG E\ RXU VHOÀVK 7UXVWHHV assured no CEO will be appointed.
Can you picture a situation where in the CEO sounds off the Trustees for interfering in his work and with the staff? It hurts their ego badly.
There is no team work. It is my way or highway. There is complete, mismanagement and lack of professionalism.
Consider this scenario.

On the other hand there were massive illegal alterations/ additions by a certain lady who carried out the work without anyone objecting to her audacity. Were the
Trustees sleeping? The building structure has been weakened; so many Parsi lives in the building have been endangered, all because of one arrogant woman, whom the
Trustees are favouring why? Can they justify? The same lady and her family members are openly violating clauses 6 & 7 of Bombay
Parsi Punchayet leave & licence agreement, and the Trustees turns blind eyes.
I think it’s high time the Hon’ble
Donors & Community members come together and remove the corrupt / womanizers Trustees from our Apex Body.

was sitting in the middle of a meeting in New Delhi when the news about the ghastly murder of an elderly couple in
Dahanu reached the table. The majority seated at the table were Community members and we shuddered and expressed our sorrow at the thought of this defenseless couple being snatched from life in such a

Parsi elders living alone, there are preconceived notions one just cannot argue with. Prima facie evidence points to an elderly couple living in isolation on acres of prime property,

Of course, till things are put in place by the police and investigators, we are in no position to assume this was the handy work of the bullies in the builder world. Besides on speaking with another Chikoo plantation owner, I found out that without the Status of the

According to a grieving neighbour I spoke with as soon as the Paidast was over on
Friday morning, Mr. and Mrs. couple had him reprimanded by the police at the time and the incident had been forgotten.
The boy may have, as we hear from neighbours, been lying in wait to take his revenge. Police might be scouring areas east of

I t’s the time of the year when all the Navjotes and
Weddings start taking place or are right round the corner.
Here are some tips on how to prep your daughters or sons hair before their Navjote.
1) Firstly, you need to choose a look that you prefer to work with- short, medium or long length of hair.
2) Then you need to book in a trim for their hair around a fortnight before the ceremony so the ends look healthy and not dry. Make sure you specify to your stylist what’s
the look that you want to achieve. Picture reference always helps.
3) Then comes the home treatment to maintain softness and shine. Now the best thing to do to maintain softness and shine is just 3 days before the ceremony apply a strong conditioner on the hair generously and put a shower cap over it so it traps the heat inside the cap. If oil suits you then apply it on your scalp not your hair and massage slowly.
4) A slow massage stimulates the scalp and inturn makes the hair shiny and cuts frizz if any.
5) Girls and boys who are getting married the best thing to do is stay of heated styling like driers & irons and strong gels that can cause harm for a couple of weeks before the wedding this will give the hair an all new shine all together when you use it on your function day.
6) Apply a strong conditioner once in a week and leave it on for atleast 5 minutes so the hair starts to feel and look considerably better.
7) Trim your hair 15 days before your functions start.
8) Applying a shine colour to the hair just to induce some shine which is temporary is also a great option. It’s a clear colour that contains no colour just shine. And also has no ammonia so is temporary and washes out of the hair in 2-3 months.
