Parsiana’s strengths: It makes for good reading — topical, to the point and with bold editorials. Shortcomings: Need some entertainment column. Jokes, quiz on bawas and their ancestors. Answers may be provided in the same issue.
MAHARUKH F. GUARD

Parsiana’s strengths: Its wonderful presentation of day-to-day news with colorful photographs of the events covered. Very good quality of paper used inside and for the cover, with much Parsipanu. Shortcomings: Only that it is not a weekly.

Parsiana’s strengths: Good coverage, accurate proof reading and regular delivery. Shortcomings: You propagate that even persons not wearing sudreh kusti are true Zoroastrians. Is it necessary to write that? Please stop it.

Parsiana’s strengths: Interesting to read. Attractive covers. Subtle but good endeavor to make our religion more acceptable to present day Parsis.

Parsiana’s strengths: Parsiana is impartial and digs out loopholesin all our Parsi institutions. That is creditable. Please keep it up and enlighten us every now and then. Many thanks.

Parsiana’s strengths: Factual reporting of events. Shortcomings: Not coming out forcefully against the Bombay Parsi Punchayet, the self-styled "high priests” and others of their ilk.
