I loved the Coomi Wadia cover ("Coomi and the Chorus,” Parsiana, February 21, 2018). The lady seems to have Amazing Grace for the longest period ever!
I would also like to mention that I am enthralled by the Thousand and One tales told by Berjis Desai in his earlier column Bawa Musings and current column Unforgettable Bawas. I hope they will be made into a book. His laconic portraits of little known women, and some men, who shone with a fierce flame in the forgotten corners of the Parsi baugs and tenements, are small gems that need to be treasured and maybe presented to a larger audience.
