In order to publish more current Milestones information Parsiana will carry the names of the deceased from the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) website bpp-
paidust.in and of those cremated and/or whose funerary ceremonies were performed at the Worli Prayer Hall. The names of those cremated are sent to us by Prayer Hall coordinator Ervad Framroze Mirza, by e-mail.
The last few names of those deceased in the end of the first month of the new year find mention here as well as those who passed away till February 12.
2017 started on a joyous note for the community with nine babies being born at one south Bombay hospital that sends birth data to Parsiana. Fifty-eight bodies were consigned to the Towers of Silence in Bombay. Fifteen Zoroastrians, 10 of whom were over 80 years, fell prey to various heart related disease which was the major cause of death. Other disease which took lives were: pneumonia/lung disease (10), cancer (seven), multi organ failure and diabetes (four each) and brain disease, gangrene of different parts of the body, general debility/old age and anemia (three each). One patient each succumed to asthma, Parkinson’s disease, kidney failure, malnutrition, gastro-intestinal bleeding, septicemia and Alzheimer’s disease. An elderly lady was an unfortunate victim of a road accident. Two females, one a centenarian and the other aged 44, were the oldest and youngest to breathe their last. The mean age at death of Zoroastrians for January 2017 in Bombay was 82 years.
The data on births, marriages and deaths has been compiled from information supplied by various newsletters and anjumans in India and abroad, courts and hospitals. This information is not always complete or consistent: we are unable to carry data from areas where the anjumans do not furnish the particulars; the birth figures for Bombay are supplied by one hospital — births in suburban hospitals and private nursing homes are not included unless individuals send us information together with a copy of the birth certificate. There may be an inadvertent repetition of names in the marriage list when a civil marriage precedes a religious ceremony. The names of the deceased alongwith their ages, addresses and causes of deaths are forwarded to Parsiana by the BPP. The trust however notes that the information has not been verified or authenticated by them. In the break-up of deaths according to illnesses, especially of the elderly, death is often due to a combination of several diseases.
If readers have any births/ marriages/deaths they would like published, some proof to ensure the veracity of the report would be required. We are sure our readers would appreciate this requirement and cooperate with us.
