    Hi,

    You people are doing an awesome job here! And the information you passionately share everyday, day after day, is fascinating.

    In Delhi we’ve just started our own little endeavor to share with the world a little bit about ourselves, and a whole lot about our community – so I know the amount of effort it takes!

    How you do it, I don’t know… but keep it coming!

    Best Wishes

    Hey, I wonder if anyone here is aware of Avesthagen, a company who’s CEO is a woman called Viloo Morawalla-Patel. They collected 9 testubes of blood from unassuming parsees promising information and reports about their predisposition to certain medical conditions. They also gave consent forms AFTER drawing the blood samples and completely duped the 4,000 odd parseesfrom whom they illegally collecd blood. This was sanctioned by the BPP. After numerous letters back and forth, and promises on a report/ investigation into the matter by Ms.Morawalla Patel, I am still to receive any word at all.

    If anyoen else has gone through this horrid experience, then please get in touch with me.
