Zoroastrian Orality, Customs, Ecology Course. Introductions and overviews may sound like an easy couple of hours, but the first two hours of this class peppered us with new concepts about oral transmission and women in the Avesta.

The Fighting Eagles by Keki Daruwalla exactly describes the “splurging hysteria” of the so-called leaders lunging in hatred at each other while we like “millions of frost” can only watch. #poetry #poem #Parsi

I’m so tired from waking this early and of politicians bent on destroying us.

Tara Sutaria taps her inner Parsi baker, whips fresh cream & jam scones in new house Mumbai March 2 (SocialNews.XYZ) Actress Tara Sutaria seems to have tapped into her inner Parsi baker on Sunday evening, after she made some fresh scones and treated her fans to a glimpse of her homemade delights. Sharing pictures of lipsmacking delicacies topped with clotted cream and jam, Tara wrote, “Decided I’d bake fresh scones and clotted cream from scratch!”. In the picture, the actress, without revealing her face, is seen holding a delicate plate with two golden-brown scones generously layered with thick clotted cream and a dollop of berry jam.

How is one supposed to give a crap about an ancient civilization and finish an essay on whether its culture will go extinct or not when current civilizations headed by monstrous men are trying to obliterate us all, supported by a patsy of a Prime Minister? #writing #Parsi #Zoroastrian 🇨🇦

All I have left to do with my essay for the TISS-PARZOR Zoroastrian Foundation course is gather my references and put them at the end of the essay. Plus a final read-through. I really hope there wasn't a maximum word count as it's almost 3000 words!

Paperback open with few pages lifted up and most of the book rest to be read. Page is open to start of chapter 3 which starts a line space below chapter 2 instead of usual next page. Why the book is thin but I’m so few pages in. On wood table.

Ice-Candy Man paperback is pretty thin with largish-sized font. Ooohhh, I could maybe read a good chunk today. I’ve already read 2 chapters of the audiobook. *flips through pages to find chapter 3* 😳 Um, I’ve hardly begun! I skim thru a few chapters but… 😞 I won’t be ready for Fri. #reading #Parsi

The woebegone Parsi cricketing exodus - Guerilla Cricket I am quizzing Eric Billimoria on the first floor of the iconic Parsi Gymkhana. Perpendicularly to my right, the announcement speaker bolted to the thick, diagonal wooden beams above us has caught rust...

Till 1993 the Parsi Gymkhana team, which partakes in the A division of Mumbai's famous Kanga League, used to be true to its name. Today it boasts of Suryakumar Yadav and a dozen Ranji Trophy cricketers but none of them are Parsis. Why so?

Quando la sicurezza supera la competenza: Susanna #Ceccardi insiste nell'interpretare dati economici senza comprenderli e pretende di spiegare a un professore dove sbaglia. L'arroganza può essere più forte della preparazione, ma non la sostituisce.
