Caricatures of deviationist behavior cut across the classes
Berjis Desai
The genteel, docile proper bawaji is now a rare commodity. There is an increase in the number of lahuvaas, haandaas, fituris, kaklaats and pallonjis. These are highly technical terms which are difficult at times to distinguish even for a seasoned community watcher like your columnist. To illustrate these definitions is flirting with libel, so forgive us the slightly roundabout way of explaining these caricatures who are found both among the Masoor paav Parsis and the NCPA Parsis. And please do not try to categorize your in-laws and increase the number of contested divorces before the Parsi Matrimonial Court.
The easier ones......
