Milestones

In order to publish more current Milestones information Parsiana will carry the names of the deceased from the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) website bpppaidust.in and of those cremated and/or whose funerary ceremonies were performed at the new Worli Prayer Hall. The names of those cremated are sent to us by Prayer Hall coordinator Ervad Framroze Mirza, by e-mail.
The last few names of those deceased in end October 2015 find mention here as well as those who passed away till November 10.
Intimation of only seven births was received by Parsiana from one south Bombay hospital that sends in data. Deaths at Bombay’s Doonger­wadi numbered 46.
Seven of the 12 patients who succumbed to diseases of the heart had crossed their 80-year milestone. Other killer diseases were: cachexia (a state of constitutional disorder, malnutrition and general ill health) and pneumonia/lung disease (five Zoroastrians each), kidney failure and old age/general debility (four each), and cancer, septicemia and urinary tract infection (two each). Thrombocytopenia (a reduction in the number of platelets in the blood), gastroenteritis, septic shock, hypertension, dengue, brain disease, herpes (vesicular eruptions due to a virus infection), anuria (absence of the secretion of urine by the kidneys), multi organ failure and Parkinson’s disease were isolated killers. In the case of one death, the coroner’s report was kept pending. The youngest to breathe his last was a 32-year-old male, the eldest, a lady at 98 years. The mean age at death of Zoroastrians for October 2015 in Bom­bay was 80 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 one hospital — 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. 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.
