He was cremated at Shivaji Park on Monday morning.His son, Hong Kong-based Peter Hakim, currently in Mumbai stated, “My dad was a father figure to so many people. His different teaching methods, spiked with brusque Parsi lingo, worked. Many persons even after their sporting careers, carry a little bit of Percy in them.”Mumbai’s Pradeep Divgikar, former water polo player and administrator, said, “He loved his trainees to death. His passing is the end of an era. The MGMO swimming pool (Dadar) was his karmabhoomi and he could easily pass off as the mascot of the pool.” Percy’s volleyball skills were “top class” said Tarun Bhansali, volleyball player, part of a team that play near the MGMO for decades. “Percy sir’s typical language, especially maanjan na kar is eternal. Our team often talk in Percy Hakim lingo.” Coach, mentor, father and more, Dadar’s doughty sportsman’s spirit lives on.
The pioneering Parsi adventurers: Indian cyclists The pioneering Parsi adventurers: Indian cyclists who conquered the world From rugged mountains to bustling cities and serene countryside, cyclists have been embarking on daring expeditions, experiencing the world in a unique and exhilarating way. With each turn of the pedal, they weave through diverse landscapes, discovering hidden gems, and immersing themselves in the beauty of nature and culture. This World Bicycle Day, Global Indian brings you the story of Parsi cyclists who were the pioneers in adventure in India.Compiled by: Charu Thakur | Global Indian(June 3, 2023) It was a regular Monday for many Bombaywallas on October 15, 1923, but not so for the Bombay Weightlifting Club which organised a send-off for six of its young members — Adi B Hakim, Gustad G Hathiram, Jal P Bapasola, Keki D Pochkhanawala, Nariman B Kapadia and Rustom B Bhumgara – ready for their first cycling expedition across the globe. In two groups of three, these young Parsi lads left to pursue their dream of travelling the world – something that was unheard of in India at that time. It was this novelty which intrigued these Parsi men. Three years before taking the leap of faith, they had huddled together at Bombay’s Oval Maidan in 1920 for a public lecture by a Frenchman who had walked from Europe to India. Inspired by the travels of the Frenchman, they were determined to embark on their extraordinary journey that took them through Punjab, Balochistan, the Middle East, Europe, the United States, Japan, and South East Asia.

It is through the sacred fire that the Parsis worship Ahura Mazdā, the supreme god. During the restoration, the fire was moved to another structure in the compound and the community prayed there.Parsis History With The Fire Temple“At present, it is kept inside the agiary complex,” said a trustee of the Dadysett Charity Trust, which looks after the agiary.

I Didn’t Appreciate Yogurt Until I Left Iran Fro I Didn’t Appreciate Yogurt Until I Left Iran From homemade labneh to whey sharbat, here’s how to make the most of it.Article By Homa DashtakiIt’s easy to think of yogurt as one-note. I’ve seen it treated as a morning grab-and-go afterthought, an obligatory partner for granola parfait—something common, boring, uninspiring. I too have made the mistake of taking yogurt for granted. When I was growing up in Iran, my family always made yogurt from scratch. We ate it every lunch and dinner (never breakfast) because it was as essential to our meals as table wine. But only after we immigrated to the States, after I’d pursued an entirely different career, did I appreciate the depth of this seemingly simple ingredient. In 2011 I started a yogurt company, The White Moustache, to share the traditions handed down to me over generations. Taking milk, manipulating its temperature, adding probiotics, and straining out the liquid whey drop by drop created something pure and sacred. Each batch I make is a quiet but powerful reminder of my Iranian-Zoroastrian heritage. I have devoted my life now to celebrating this gift, and yogurt’s many wonders, with an even greater community. Yogurt & Whey: Recipes of an Iranian Immigrant LifeSometimes when I’m convincing people to cook with yogurt, I find myself sounding like an infomercial (It chops, it slices, it dices!). But yogurt really is endlessly versatile. It tenderizes meat; it makes soups creamy and baked goods moist.
Comic books capture interest of a wide range of au Comic books capture interest of a wide range of audiences, from children to adults: Amar Chitra Katha CEO IANS: How was the project conceived?Vyas: Our content team has a long wish list of titles for new content. Based on our bandwidth, certain projects take priority. The story of Ardeshir Godrej had also been on our wish list. When we were approached for this collaboration, we knew that it would make a wonderful biography, especially because it included three people and not just Ardeshir Godrej. The two books in ‘The Pioneers of Progress’ series tell the story of the Godrej family which had a humble beginning in Bharuch in Gujarat before migrating to Bombay to build a multi-billion-dollar empire. We have also published books on the founders of other Indian conglomerates such as Tata and Birla.IANS: Why were only three individuals chosen from the vast variety of Parsis who have contributed to India’s growth?Vyas: While selecting stories, we do not focus on a particular community but choose to tell tales that would inspire millions. When we started reading the material that was sent by the Godrej & Boyce team, we were thrilled to read the fascinating history of the organisation. They were passionate about ‘Make in India’ long before it became a mantra for indigenous manufacturing. This series focuses on the values of integrity, employee welfare, hard work, trust, and care for the environment which are portrayed very well in the stories.IANS: Tell us about the research that went into it.Vyas:
