    This is incredible. Starts in such an intimate fashion and draws the viewer into their lives.
    Love how Calcutta just draws some people to herself and doesn't let them go.

      Thank you for watching the video. FYI - The Hansotias are no longer managing the Parsi Dharamshala. I believe someone else is running it. I will try and find out that information for you. Apologies for a delayed response.

    Hi, I salute you both in such medical difficulties and hardships you support each other and have ventured out bravely. A request as our Parsi community certain things are fading would you make a recipe book of how you make Parsi dishes as each one's style is different. Could you share Parsi mutton or chicken receipe with me. I tried the chicken cutlet it was awesome n relished by all. Looking forward for your reply. Wishing you in advance Happy New Year.
