Zoroastrian Race Day at the races!
Malavika’s Mumbai
Mid Day
AND this weekend will celebrate all things Zoroastrian and one of the events to mark the historic and much awaited 10th World Zoroastrian Congress being held in Mumbai from December 27-30, will be the RWITC’s full race day in honour of the community.
Put together by the Parsi Panchayat, and Vivek Jain on behalf of the Club, word comes in that it will be a record breaking day, with eight “ million” races, all on one afternoon, for the first time in the history of any race club in India.
Working closely with Dr Cyrus Poonawalla , the chief sponsor of the Congress, Jain managed to get the Parsi community to come forth with munificent contributions to make the day and the all- Parsi affair. Prominent names such as Shapoor Mistry and Noshir Talati are amongst the sponsors.
And what’s more, all Parsi members have been requested to come wearing ethnic dress, so many an elegant jhabla angharka, skullcap and gada saris will be on show. Nice!
