repost from @thefezana

FEZANA President comments on the recent New York Times article about the Parsi community in India.

Born and raised in India, Arzan Sam Wadia is currently living in New York City, where he is an architect by profession. He wants to remind everyone that the Zoroastrian community is thriving in North America, where our numbers are increasing.

repost from @thefezana Congratulations to Artemis

repost from @thefezana Congratulations to Artemis Javanshir, FEZANA's Religious Education Committee Co-Chair on winning the Zarathushti of the year 2020 award instituted by the California Zoroastrian Center. We are thrilled by Artemis' honour and wish her more power in the years to come....to continue to inspire the next generation.

The Zarathushti Youth Across Borders (ZYAB)program

The Zarathushti Youth Across Borders (ZYAB)program proposes to bring young Zarathushtis from around the world to attend the 12th World Zoroastrian Congress 2022 in New York City.

The Congress will be held at the Hilton Midtown Hotel in New York City from July 1-4.
ZYAB seeks to empower our youth to engage actively with the global Zarathushti community.

12 WZC 2022’s theme, “Bridging the Global Zarathushti Existence,” aims to strengthen connections, concepts, and ideas, and build bridges for the next generations, while respecting our identities and diversity.

Part of the bridge involves engaging the youth whose ideas and perspectives will shape the actions of the Zarathushti community in the 21st century. WZC 2022 seeks to enable these discussions among young Zarathushtis who can represent their own regions and collaborate across borders.

The specific goals of the ZYAB program are:

Facilitate the attendance of Zarathushti youth (Ages 18-25), who live outside North America, at WZC 2022, prioritizing young Zarathushtis who would not be able to attend due to economic circumstances.

Increase the dialogue and active participation among Zarathushti youth from all over the world.

Empower Zarathushti youth to represent their regions and develop their aspirations for the future.

The program is based on the “Zoroastrian Field Students Program,” initiated at the World Zoroastrian Congress in Houston (2000).

Modeled on the American Field Service program where students around the world traveled to the United States to attend a year of high school, the Zoroastrian Field Student Program brought 21 students who would not have been able to attend the World Zoroastrian Congress due to economic circumstances. The Zoroastrian Field Students Program was highly acclaimed by the first group of students who attended, and their leadership and exchanges have continued until today.

repost from @amusing_bouche “Te na le, biju kai

repost from @amusing_bouche “Te na le, biju kai le - Limca che, Goldspot che, Mangola che..” (“Don’t get that, get anything else, Limca, Goldspot, Mangola…) Maiji lamented to my brother and my cousin as the Flying Rani made its way to Navsari.
.
.
Every summer, we made our way from Bahrain to Bombay and then onwards to Navsari to spend our 2 month summer holiday with my grandmother in our ancestral home. In the 80’s, we made this 4 hour journey by train - which as sheltered Gulfie kids - was literally the most exciting highlight of the year.
.
.
As the drink seller made his way down the aisle chanting “drinkssss...cold drinksss”, with his bucket half full of a mountain of rapidly melting ice with spikes of “cold drinks” bottles sticking out temptingly - I knew exactly what I wanted - a perfectly chilled ThumsUp of course.
.
.
The boys on the other hand were feeling “adventurous” much to my grandmother's irritation - but as grans go, she had to indulge them. My cuz picked "Sosyo" because we thought it was the most hilarious sounding drink, until of course my brother found a bottle of “RimZim” in the bucket. Between giggling at the names and being adamant about the choices they made, the drinks were bought. As the chap wiped down the bottle with his dirty rag, used a rusty old bottle opener to let the fizz escape and pulled out the thinnest plastic straw from his sweaty shirt pocket - the excitement was palpably rising.
.
.
Uff, that first rush of cooling fizz - and the expressions on their faces were priceless. My gran raised her eyebrows in a “I told you so” and I smugly clung on to my wise choice Thums Up unwilling to share. My brother stubbornly continued sipping his RimZim, even though it was vile (for a 7 year olds tastebuds) - if you’ve never had it, it is like a spicy masala soda and definitely an acquired taste.

As for Sosyo, the Gujarati Vimto was a winner by narrow margin in the battle of the oddball sounding (and tasting) drinks. Cheers to the good ol’ days 🍻

Tagging my bestie @nish._.soni the only person I know who enjoys a chilled sosyo 😂

repost from @houseofpak The Parsee Community of Ka

repost from @houseofpak The Parsee Community of Karachi is quite small in size, however, their contribution surpasses their limited population.

The Parsee community is known for their Zoroastrian religion - the worshippers of fire, who moved to South Asia 1000 years ago, after the Muslim conquest of Persia, now Iran!
