Publish or perish

After our cover story on Parsis and Theosophy, "Religion made relevant," appeared (Parsiana, June 21-July 6, 2021), The Bombay Theosophical Bulletin, the official journal of The Bombay Theosophical Federation, black and white monthly issue of August carried a cover feature on the Parsiana write-up. What struck us is that a relatively small, Bombay based organization publishes a monthly bulletin.

You ask for comments but I wonder if these are read. However I will put in my observations:
Today's youth DO work longer hours and have demanding jobs, combined with this is ample opportunities/facilities for recreation in which they spend balance time. Hence hardly much time/interest for community projects/publications

Reading and writing has taken a back seat, which is a reality one has to contend with. Visual stuff attracts more attention.

"Jagra-jugri" of anjumans also puts off people as they have resolved nothing.

If you can give a 'direction' to what newsletters of various cities could carry to keep us/you informed, it maybe a step in the right direction.
