Parsiana sources information for the Milestones column from various anjumans, hospitals, individuals, newsletters and publications. While much of the material is sketchy, the Bombay marriages and death lists are quite exhaustive.
Data on marriages within the community in Bombay is culled four times in a year from the office of the Registrar of Marriages at the Bombay High Court and on interfaith unions from the Registrar of Marriages offices at Fort and Khar. There may be an inadvertent repetition of names in the marriage list when a civil marriage precedes a religious ceremony.
The list of the deceased with the causes of deaths for those consigned to the Doongerwadi in Bombay is provided by the Bombay Parsi Punchayet with a disclaimer that the information has not been verified or authenticated by them. The Worli Prayer Hall sends Parsiana names of those cremated there. As some parties do not wish the name of the deceased to be published, the actual number of those cremated may be more than the figures shown in the magazine for the concerned month.
The last few names of those deceased in September 2024 find mention here as well as those who passed away till October 13.
In the break-up of Bombay Doongerwadi deaths, especially of the elderly, death is often due to a combination of several diseases.
Causes of deaths for September 2024: Various diseases of the heart claimed the lives of 16 patients. Eleven of them were over the 80 year mark. While eight Zoroastrians succumbed to pneumonia/lung disease, six fell prey to septicemia and five each to septic shock and cancer. The other killers were old age/general debility and diabetes (three each), kidney failure (two) and urosepsis, peritonitis (inflammation of the membrane lining the abdominal walls and covering the abdominal organs), pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), multi organ failure, myasthenia gravis (weakness and rapid fatigue of muscles under voluntary control), asthma, brain disease, hypertention and hemiplegia (muscle weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the body that can affect the arms, legs and facial muscles) (one each). Whereas a 63-year-old male was the youngest to breathe his last, the eldest was a female, aged 101! The mean age at death of Zoroastrians for September 2024 in Bombay was 82 years. The life expectancy at birth for males was 80 years and for females, 84 years.
Parsiana also receives death intimations from the Poona Parsee Panchayat, Parsi Zoroastrian Anjuman of Secunderabad and Hyderabad, The Surat Parsi Panchayat Funds and Properties Trust, Jhansi Parsi Anjuman, Nagpur Parsi Punchayet, Zoroastrian Society of Ontario, Fram Framji of Karachi, Dr Ardeshir Damania of California and Arnavaz Sethna of Houston.
Data on births in Bombay is made available by the Breach Candy Hospital. Births in other hospitals and private nursing homes are included when an individual sends us information together with a copy of the birth certificate.
If readers have any births/ marriages/deaths they would like published, they are welcome to write to/email us. Some proof to ensure the veracity of the report would be necessary. We are sure our readers would appreciate this requirement.
