MILESTONES

Births, marriages and deaths taken place primarily in the former half of the last month of the year gone by are carried in this issue.
The age of Zoroastrian brides (as listed in this issue) ranged between 19 and 48 years, the arithmetic mean — the total number of individual ages divided by the total number of brides — being 28 years. The corresponding figures for the grooms were 25 and 44 years, averaging at 31 years.
Data on only four births in Bombay (from the two south Bombay hospitals) for the 15 day period was received by Parsiana while 32 deaths were reported from Doongerwadi (information supplied by the Bombay Parsi Punchayet). Diseases of the heart felled 12 patients, of whom eight were in the over 80 age group. Six Zoroastrians succumbed to cancer, while pneumonia/lung disease claimed four victims. Septicemia, old age/general debility and brain disease took the lives of two persons each. Anemia, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, liver disease, kidney failure, hypertension and multi organ failure were isolated causes of deaths. The community lost a 103-year-old woman, the highest age at death. The youngest to breathe his last was a 63-year-old man. The mean age at death of Zoroastrians for the first fortnight of December 2012 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 two hospitals — 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 are supplied by the Bom­bay Parsi Pun­chayet. 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.
