Parsiana’s strengths: It is an amazing magazine and very informative. Some good, light, social stories should be included. Shortcomings: Nothing.

Parsiana is very strong. Keep it up. It is the most knowledgeable magazine I have ever come across, especially concerning problems faced by the community. Shortcomings: Please ensure that it reaches in time for outstation subscribers.

The editors reply:
All copies to inland subscribers are posted on the same day. In some cities delivery is punctual. In others it takes weeks. We do complain to the post office but there is not much more we can do. Some subscribers opt for courier delivery and failing that registered post, both by paying extra. Postal services in small towns/villages in south Gujarat, the outskirts of Poona and Gurgaon are especially tardy or non-existent. At one time we received constant complaints from subscribers in Calcutta but of late the complaints have lessened.

Parsiana’s strengths: Good information with action photographs from all over the world. Congratulations. Keep it up! Shortcomings: No politics in the news.
