Yesterday I attended a programme at the Ballroom Taj Mahal Palace and Tower, Mumbai. My children got married at the Taj and I myself had a reception at the Grand Ballroom hall when we got married...but sadly today it has sad memories of people dying at the hands of the terrorists there...but then good thigs are happening again there...and the place is majestic.
To increase the good vibrations we celebrated the art of Jehangir Sabavala. Ms Pheroza Godrej introduced the art historian/cultural theorist Mr Ranjit Hoskote.
We saw the World Premier of the film "The Inheritance of Light" produced by Dr Homi Dhalla and directed by Dr Sam Kerawalla.
The Parsis, a grand race who stuck to the promise of mingling with the nation, like milk does with sugar...and yet they stand apart as cultured, beautiful people. I felt honored to have been invited by Dr Homi Dhalla who I know as a co-partner in our initiatives of Interfaith Dialogue that we take part in!
