If buildings could talk, what stories would this h If buildings could talk, what stories would this home share ? Of generations growing up in the shadows of the mighty Pak Iranshah......

Of times gone by when Udvada was truly the spiritual thriving hub of the Zoroastrian faith. 

Time waits for no one. The world moves on. We can, however hold on to what is worth holding on to. 

We are just caretakers of the legacy of the next generation. Let's make sure we have something to pass on.

Pheroze Nowrojee: Legal Titan, Human Rights Defend Pheroze Nowrojee: Legal Titan, Human Rights Defender, and Voice of Conscience Passes Awa

Kenya has lost one of its brightest legal minds, a resolute defender of justice, and a deeply principled voice in matters of national conscience. Senior Counsel Pheroze Nowrojee passed away on April 5, 2025, at the age of 84. His death marks the end of a monumental chapter in Kenya’s legal, human rights, and democratic history. But even in passing, his legacy will remain woven into the very fabric of the nation he so diligently served.

Born in 1941, Pheroze Nowrojee hailed from a family steeped in Kenya’s early history. His grandfather, arrived in East Africa in April 1896 as an engine driver for the Uganda Railway, an experience Nowrojee once eloquently described as a turning point for his family in his moving memoir A Kenyan Journey (2015). That book, both poetic and political, not only traces his family’s trajectory but also acts as a personal reflection on colonialism, migration, and the formation of Kenya as a modern nation.

FD Alpaiwalla Museum at Khareghat Colony, Hughes Road, the only centre in Mumbai that showcases Parsi-Zoroastrian history, was reopened on Thursday evening after extensive restoration and upgradation. It is an archaeological and ethnographic museum and its “collection reflects the rich heritage of the Parsis of India and the Iranian Zoroastrians of Iran”.

Not many know that Dadabhoy Naoroji’s reading glasses and other artefacts were stolen from the museum in 1998. They were never found.
