Some of you have probably seen this article. To a vast many of you its a great article cataloging Parsi eateries in Bombay. To me its a article about food that slips in jabs to one side of the political spectrum.
Is it really necessesary that they write such things like 'unless you want to wait for the increasingly rare occasion of two parsis getting married' Which btw is bullshi.. because if you all all the major baugs and halls where Parsi's have weddings in india they are booked serveral months if not years out. They could have just left it at food, but for some reason they felt compelled to include to drag in that we dont allow mixed married people or converts. It just goes to show that people cant write anything good anymore for the sake of writing good things about our religion. It invariably gets tainted with politics, and thats just sad.
When I went back and reread this article, I couldnt decide if the main point of the article was about our food or about how quickly in the author's opinons we were going to die.
Some FINE journalism! By who elese but a so called Parsi.
