Partly inspired by the IAI Harop and DRDO Rustom-1 drones, this is my attempt at combining my love for unmanned (air) vehicles with the intention of doing another turboprop plane with those flipper elements (credits to Cagerrin), designing something with the new wedge elements (heavily spurred on by GolPlaysWithLego's Goblin and Porsche) and doing another technic figure scale build.
Enjoy!

The DRDO Rustom (English: Warrior) is a Medium Altitude Long Endurance unmanned air vehicle (UAV) being developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation for the three services, Indian Army, Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force of the Indian Armed Forces. Rustom is derived from the NAL's LCRA (Light Canard Research Aircraft) developed by a team under the leadership of late Prof Rustom Damania in the 1980s. The UAV will have structural changes and a new engine. Rustom will replace/supplement the Heron UAVs in service with the Indian armed forces.

Well, after recently winning 2nd place in a major photo contest, I was noticed by the "right people" and offered a job as a part time freelance photographer for a local newspaper.
When I was talking with the lady who hired me, she asked if I knew any other photographers that would be willing to do these special assignments as well. I immediately thought of my good friend Richard (KmountMan)
We recently signed a 1 year contract with this major media company :o))
Last night was our first assignment and we did formal portraits of the guests at the Heritage Ball. The 2008 Mississauga Heritage Ball, hosted by the Mississauga Heritage Foundation (Heritage Mississauga), celebrates the unique heritage of our community. From the earliest settler - the First Nations people, to today, our heritage is a colorful tapestry woven through the hard work and dedication of many hands.
As each of the guests entered the event, they were led to Richard & I for semi-formal portraits with studio lighting. I did all the shooting for the portraits, while Richard set them in position for the "pose" and looked after the little details (hair in the eyes, eyeglasses, bags, clothes tags, hand position etc). Richard did an awesome job....his friendliness and professionalism with organizing the people for me made it all run so smooth. I couldn't have done it without him there.
What a fun night it was "rubbin' elbows" with some really great people.
Also, a special thanks to the 2 young lads who came and uploaded all the pictures and printed them on the spot so that each guest could take home a formal portrait. Way to go Rustom and Jackson!!!
Some of the guests included:
Former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Honorable Lincoln Alexander
Mississauga Mayor (And Longest Serving Mayor In The World) Hazel McCallion
Chief Bryan La Forme (Not a Fire Chief, An Aboriginal Peoples Chief)
Ron Lenyk - Publisher Of The Mississauga News (& MC for the event)

The term "Parsi" is not attested in Indian Zoroastrian texts until the 17th century. Until that time, such texts consistently use either Zarthoshti, "Zoroastrian" or Behdin, "[of] good nature" or "[of] the good religion." The 12th century Sixteen Shlokas, a Sanskrit text in praise of the Parsis and apparently written by a Hindu (Parsi legend; cf. Paymaster 1954, p. 8 incorrectly attributes the text to a Zoroastrian priest), is the earliest attested use of the term as an identifier for the Indian Zoroastrians.
The first reference to the Parsis in a European language is from 1322, when a French monk, Jordanus, briefly refers to their presence in Thana and Broach. Subsequently, the term appears in the journals of many European travelers, first French and Portuguese, later English, all of whom use a Europeanized version of an apparently local language term. For instance, Portuguese physician Garcia d'Orta, who in 1563 observed that "there are merchants [...] in the kingdom of Cambai [...] known as Esparcis. We Portuguese call them Jews, but they are not so. They are Gentios." In an early 20th century legal ruling (see self-perceptions, below) Justices Davar and Beaman asserted (1909:540) that 'Parsi' was also a term used in Iran to refer to Zoroastrians. (Stausberg 2002, p. I.373) Boyce (2002, p. 105) notes that in much the same way as the word "Hindu" was used by the Iranians to refer to anyone from the Indian subcontinent, the term 'Parsi' was used by the Indians to refer to anyone from Greater Iran, irrespective of whether they were actually ethnic Persians or not. In any case, the term 'Parsi' itself is "not necessarily an indication of their Iranian or 'Persian' origin, but rather as indicator — manifest as several properties — of ethnic identity" (Stausberg 2002, p. I. 373). Moreover, (if heredity were the only factor in a determination of ethnicity) the Parsis — per Qissa — would count as Parthians. (Boyce 2002, p. 105) The term 'Parseeism' (or 'Parsiism') is attributed to Anquetil-Duperron, who in the 1750s, when the word 'Zoroastrianism' had yet to be coined, made the first detailed report of the Parsis and of Zoroastrianism, therein mistakenly assuming that the Parsis were the only remaining followers of the religion.
[edit] As an ethnic community
Wedding portrait, 1948
Although the Parsis originally emigrated from Persia, most Indian Parsis have lost social or familial ties to Persians. Many do not share language or recent history with them. Over the centuries since the first Zoroastrians arrived in India, the Parsis have integrated themselves into Indian society while simultaneously maintaining their own distinct customs and traditions (and thus ethnic identity). This in turn has given the Parsi community a rather peculiar standing: they are Indians in terms of national affiliation, language and history, but not typically Indian (constituting only 0.006% of the total population) in terms of consanguinity or cultural, behavioural and religious practices. Genealogical DNA tests to determine purity of lineage have brought mixed results. One study supports the Parsi contention (Nanavutty 1970, p. 13) that they have maintained their Persian roots by avoiding intermarriage with local populations. In that 2002 study of the Y-chromosome (patrilineal) DNA of the Parsis of Pakistan, it was determined that Parsis are genetically closer to Iranians than to their neighbours (Qamar et al. 2002, p. 1119). However, a 2004 study in which Parsi mitochondrial DNA (matrilineal) was compared with that of the Iranians and Gujaratis determined that Parsis are genetically closer to Gujaratis than to Iranians. Taking the 2002 study into account, the authors of the 2004 study suggested "a male-mediated migration of the ancestors of the present-day Parsi population, where they admixed with local females [...] leading ultimately to the loss of mtDNA of Iranian origin" (Quintana-Murci 2004, p. 840)
he definition of who is (and who is not) a Parsi is a matter of great contention within the Zoroastrian community in India. Generally accepted to be a Parsi is a person who is a) directly descended from the original Persian refugees; and b) has been formally admitted into the Zoroastrian religion. In this sense, Parsi is an ethno-religious designator.
Some members of the community additionally contend that a child must have a Parsi father to be eligible for introduction into the faith, but this assertion is considered by most to be a violation of the Zoroastrian tenets of gender equality, and may be a remnant of an old legal definition of Parsi.
An often quoted legal definition of Parsi is based on a 1909 ruling (since nullified) that not only stipulated that a person could not become a Parsi by converting to the Zoroastrian faith (which was the case in question), but also noted that "the Parsi community consists of: a) Parsis who are descended from the original Persian emigrants and who are born of both Zoroastrian parents and who profess the Zoroastrian religion; b) Iranis from Persia professing the Zoroastrian religion; c) the children of Parsi fathers by alien mothers who have been duly and properly admitted into the religion."(Sir Dinsha Manekji Petit v. Sir Jamsetji Jijibhai 1909)
This definition has since been overturned several times. The equality principles of the Indian Constitution void the patrilineal restrictions expressed in the third clause. The second clause was contested and overturned in 1948.(Sarwar Merwan Yezdiar v. Merwan Rashid Yezdiar 1948) On appeal in 1950, the 1948 ruling was upheld and the entire 1909 definition was deemed an obiter dictum, that is, a collateral opinion and not legally binding (re-affirmed in 1966).(Merwan Rashid Yezdiar v. Sarwar Merwan Yezdiar 1950;Jamshed Irani v. Banu Irani 1966) Nonetheless, the opinion that the 1909 ruling is legally binding continues to persist, even among the better-read and moderate Parsis.[citation needed] In the February 21, 2006 editorial of the Parsiana, the fortnightly of the Parsi Zoroastrian community, the editor noted that several adult children born of a Parsi mother and non-Parsi father had been inducted into the faith and that their choice "to embrace their mother's faith speaks volumes for their commitment to the religion." In recalling the ruling, the editor noted that although "they are legally and religiously full-fledged Zoroastrians, they are not considered Parsi Zoroastrians in the eyes of the law" and hence "legally they may not avail of [fire temples] specified for Parsi Zoroastrians" (Parsiana 2006).
Current population
The traditional estimate of the number of Parsis worldwide is around 100,000, although individual estimates can deviate significantly; Eliade, Couliano & Wiesner 1991, p. 254 states "fewer than 100,000", Palsetia 2001, p. 1,n.1 states "approximately 110,000", and Hinnels 2005, p. 6 estimates 110,000 ± 10%. The first two figures are based on data from the 1980s, in particular that of the Indian census of 1981, which counted 71,630 Parsis in that country, and on John Hinnel's earlier estimates of the number of Parsis in the diaspora. The latter figure is based on revised reports of Parsis in the diaspora, and on the results of the Indian census of 2001, which counted 69,601 Parsis in that country, with a concentration in and around the city of Mumbai (previously known as Bombay).
Countries other than India with reported (by local Parsi/Zoroastrian associations) Parsi populations are: "Britain, 5,000; USA, 6,500; Canada, 4,500; Australia, 300; Pakistan, 3,000; Hong Kong, 150; Kenya 80." (Hinnels in Palsetia 2001, p. 1, n1). With the exception of Pakistan, which is part of the region where Parsis have traditionally settled, Parsis in these countries are part of the (first/second generation) diaspora.
[edit] Population trends
Indian census data has established that the number of Parsis has been steadily declining for several decades. The highest census count was of 114,890 individuals in 1940–41, which includes the crown colony populations of present-day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Post-independence census data is only available for India (1951: 111,791) and reveal a decline in population of approximately 9% per decade. According to the National Commission for Minorities, there are a "variety of causes that are responsible for this steady decline in the population of the community", the most significant of which were childlessness and migration (Roy & Unisa 2004, p. 8, 21). Demographic trends project that by the year 2020 the Parsis will number only 23,000 (less than 0.0002% of the 2001 population of India). The Parsis will then cease to be called a community and will be labeled a 'tribe'(Taraporevala 2000, p. 9).
One-fifth of the decrease in population is attributed to migration (Roy & Unisa 2004, p. 21). A slower birthrate than deathrate accounts for the rest: as of 2001, Parsis over the age of 60 make up for 31% of the community. The national average for this age group is 7%. Only 4.7% of the Parsi community are under 6 years of age, which translates to 7 births per year per 1000 individuals (Roy & Unisa 2004, p. 14).
[edit] Other demographic statistics
The gender ratio among Parsis is unusual, as of 2001, the ratio of males to females was 1000 males to 1050 females (up from 1024 in 1991), due primarily to the high median age of the population (elderly women are more common than elderly men). The national average was 1000 males to 933 females.
Parsis have a high literacy rate: as of 2001, the literacy rate is 97.9%, the highest for any Indian community (the national average is 64.8%). 96.1% of Parsis reside in urban areas (the national average is 27.8%).
In the Greater Bombay area, where the density of Parsis is highest, ca. 10% of Parsi females and ca. 20% of Parsi males do not marry (Roy & Unisa 2004, p. 18, 19).
[edit] History
[edit] Arrival in Gujarat
According to the Qissa-i Sanjan "Story of Sanjan", the only existing account of the early years of Zoroastrian refugees in India but composed at least six centuries after the tentative date of arrival, one group of immigrants (today presumed to have been the first) originated from (greater) Khorasan (Hodivala 1920, p. 88). This region in Central Asia is in part in North-Eastern Iran (where it constitutes the Khorasan province), in part in Northern Afghanistan, and in part in three Central-Asian republics of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The immigrants were granted permission to stay by the local ruler Jadi Rana on the condition that they adopt the local language (Gujarati), that their women adopt local dress (the sari) and that they henceforth cease to bear arms (Hodivala 1920). The refugees accepted the conditions and founded the settlement of Sanjan, which is said to have been named after the city of their origin (Sanjan, near Merv, in present-day Turkmenistan).(Hodivala 1920, p. 88) This first group was followed by a second group, also from Greater Khorasan, within five years of the first, and this time having religious implements with them (the alat). In addition to these Khorasanis or Kohistanis - mountain folk, as the two initial groups are said to have been initially called (Vimadalal 1979, p. 2)[citation needed] - at least one other group is said to have come overland from Sari (in present-day Mazandaran, Iran). (Paymaster 1954)
Although the Sanjan group are believed to have been the first permanent settlers, the precise date of their arrival is a matter of conjecture. All estimates are based on the Qissa, which is vague or contradictory with respect to some elapsed periods. Consequently, three possible dates - 936 CE, 765 CE and 716 CE - have been proposed as the year of landing, and the disagreement has been the cause of "many an intense battle [...] amongst Parsis" (Taraporevala 2000). Since dates are not specifically mentioned in Parsi texts prior to the 18th century, any date of arrival is perforce a matter of speculation. The importance of the Qissa lies in any case not so much in its reconstruction of events than in its depiction of the Parsis - in the way they have come to view themselves - and in their relationship to the dominant culture. As such, the text plays a crucial role in shaping Parsi identity. But, "even if one comes to the conclusion that the chronicle based on verbal transmission is not more than a legend, it still remains without doubt an extremely informative document for Parsee historiography." (Kulke 1978, p. 25)
The Sanjan Zoroastrians were certainly not the first Zoroastrians on the subcontinent. Western Gujarat, Sindh and Balochistan had once been the eastern-most territories of the Sassanid (226-651 CE) empire, which consequently maintained military outposts there. Even following the loss of these territories, the Iranians continued to play a major role in the trade links between the east and west, and in the light of Brahmanical discouragement of trans-oceanic voyages, which Hindus then regarded as polluting, it is likely that Iranians maintained trading posts in Gujarat as well. The 9th century Arab historiographer al-Masudi briefly notes Zoroastrians with fire temples in al-Hind and in al-Sindh. (Stausberg 2002, p. I.374) Moreover, for the Iranians, the harbors of Gujarat lay on the maritime routes that complemented the overland Silk road and there were extensive trade relations between the two regions. The contact between Iranians and Indians was already well established even prior to the Common Era, and both the Puranas and the Mahabharata use the term Parasikas to refer to the peoples west of the Indus river. (Maneck 1997, p. 15)
"Parsi legends regarding their ancestors' migration to India depict a beleaguered band of religious refugees escaping the harsh rule of fanatical Muslim invaders in order to preserve their ancient faith." (Maneck 1997, p. 15; cf. Paymaster 1954, pp. 2-3) However, while Parsi settlements definitely arose along the western coast of the Indian subcontinent following the Arab conquest of Iran, it is not possible to state with certainty that these migrations occurred as a result of religious persecution against Zoroastrians. If the "traditional" 8th century date (as deduced from the Qissa) is considered valid, it must be assumed "that the migration began while Zoroastrianism was still the predominant religion in Iran [and] economic factors predominated the initial decision to migrate." (Maneck 1997, p. 15) This would have been particularly the case if - as the Qissa suggests - the first Parsis originally came from the north-east (i.e. Central Asia) and had previously been dependent on Silk Road trade (Stausberg 2002, p. I.373). Even so, in the 17th century, Henry Lord, a chaplain with the British East India Company, noted that the Parsis came to India seeking "liberty of conscience" but simultaneously arrived as "merchantmen bound for the shores of India, in course of trade and merchandise." That the Arabs charged non-Muslims higher duties when trading from Muslim-held ports may be interpreted to be a form of religious persecution, but that this was the only reason to migrate appears unlikely. That persecution was the sole motivating factor to emigrate has also been questioned by Parsis themselves (Nariman 1933, p. 277)[citation needed], and "both factors - the need to open new avenues of trade, and the desire to establish a Zoroastrian community in an area that was free from Muslim harassment - entered into the decision to emigrate to Gujarat." (Maneck 1997, p. 16)
[edit] The early years
The Qissa has little to say about the events that followed the establishment of Sanjan, and restricts itself to a brief note on the establishment of the "Fire of Victory" (Middle Persian: Atash Bahram) at Sanjan and its subsequent move to Navsari. According to Dhalla, the next several centuries were "full of hardships" (sic) before Zoroastrianism "gained a real foothold in India and secured for its adherents some means of livelihood in this new country of their adoption" (Dhalla 1938, p. 447).
Two centuries after their landing, the Parsis began to settle in other parts of Gujarat, which led to "difficulties in defining the limits of priestly jurisdiction." (Kulke 1978, p. 29) These problems were resolved by 1290 through the division of Gujarat into five panthaks (districts), each under the jurisdiction of one priestly family and their descendants. (Continuing disputes over the jurisdiction over the Atash Bahram led to the fire being moved to Udvada in 1742, where jurisdiction is today shared in rotation between the five panthak families).
Inscriptions at the Kanheri Caves near Mumbai suggest that at least until the early 11th century Middle Persian was still the literary language of the hereditary Zoroastrian priesthood. Nonetheless, aside from the Qissa and the Kanheri inscriptions, there is little evidence of the Parsis until the 12th and 13th century, when "masterly" (Dhalla 1938)[verification needed] Sanskrit translations of the Zend commentaries of the Avesta began to be prepared. From these translations Dhalla infers that "religious studies were prosecuted with great zeal at this period" and that the command of Middle Persian and Sanskrit, among the clerics, "was of a superior order" (Dhalla 1938, p. 448).
From the 13th century to the late 16th century the Zoroastrian priests of Gujarat sent (in all) twenty-two requests for religious guidance to their co-religionists in Iran, presumably because they considered the Iranian Zoroastrians "better informed on religious matters than themselves, and must have preserved the old-time tradition more faithfully than they themselves did" (Dhalla 1938, p. 457). These transmissions and their replies - assiduously preserved by the community as the rivayats (epistles) - span the years 1478-1766 and deal with both religious and social subjects. From a superficial 21st century point of view, some of these ithoter (Gujarati: questions) are remarkably trivial - for instance, Rivayat 376: whether ink prepared by a non-Zoroastrian is suitable for copying Avestan language texts - but they provide a discerning insight into the fears and anxieties of the early modern Zoroastrians. Thus, the question of the ink is symptomatic of the fear of assimilation and the loss of identity; a theme that dominates the questions posed and continues to be an issue into the 21st century. So also the question of conversion of Juddins (non-Zoroastrians) to Zoroastrianism, to which the reply (R237, R238) was: acceptable, even meritorious.(Dhalla 1938, pp. 474-475)
Nonetheless, "the precarious condition in which they lived for a considerable period made it impracticable for them to keep up their former proselytizing zeal. The instinctive fear of disintegration and absorption in the vast multitudes among whom they lived created in them a spirit of exclusiveness and a strong feeling for the preservation of the racial characteristics and distinctive features of their community. Living in an atmosphere surcharged with the Hindu caste system, they felt that their own safety lay in encircling their fold by rigid caste barriers" (Dhalla 1938, p. 474). Even so, at some point (perhaps not long after their arrival in India), the Zoroastrians - perhaps determining that the social stratification that they had brought with them was unsustainable in the small community - did away with all but the hereditary priesthood (called the asronih in Sassanid Iran). The remaining estates - the (r)atheshtarih (nobility, soldiers, and civil servants), vastaryoshih (farmers and herdsmen), hutokshih (artisans and laborers) - were folded into an all-comprehensive class today known as the behdini ("followers of daena", for which "good religion" is one translation). This change would have far reaching consequences. For one, it opened the gene pool to some extent since until that time inter-class marriages were exceedingly rare (this would continue to be a problem for the priesthood until the 20th century). For another, it did away with the boundaries along occupational lines, a factor that would enamour the Parsis to the 18th and 19th century British colonial authorities who had little patience for the unpredictable complications of the Hindu caste system (such as a clerk from one caste who would not deal with a clerk from another).
[edit] The age of opportunity
Following the commercial treaty in the early 1600s between Mughal emperor Jahangir and James I of England, the British East India Company obtained the exclusive rights to reside and build factories in Surat and other areas. Many Parsis, who until then had been living in farming communities throughout Gujarat, moved to the British-run settlements to take the new jobs offered. In 1668 the British East India Company leased the seven islands of Bombay from Charles II of England. The company found the deep harbour on the east coast of the islands to be ideal for setting up their first port in the sub-continent, and in 1687 they transferred their headquarters from Surat to the fledgling settlement. The Parsis followed and soon began to occupy posts of trust in connection with government and public works (Palsetia 2001, pp. 47-57).
Where literacy had previously been an exclusive domain of the priesthood, the British schools provided the new Parsi youth with the means to not only learn to read and write, but also to be educated in the greater sense of the term and become familiar with the quirks of the British establishment. These latter qualities were enormously useful to Parsis since it allowed them to "represent themselves as being like the British," which they did "more diligently and effectively than perhaps any other South Asian community" (Luhrmann 2002, p. 861). In turn, it allowed the British, who were otherwise quite convinced of their racial and intellectual superiority, to deal with the other native communities through the offices of the Parsis. While the British saw the other Indians, "as passive, ignorant, irrational, outwardly submissive but inwardly guileful" (Luhrmann 1994, p. 333), the Parsis were seen to have the traits that the colonial authorities tended to ascribe to themselves. Mandelslo (1638) saw them as "diligent", "conscientious" and "skillful" in their mercantile pursuits. Similar observations would be made by James Mackintosh, Recorder of Bombay from 1804 to 1811, who noted that "the Parsees are a small remnant of one of the mightiest nations of the ancient world, who, flying from persecution into India, were for many ages lost in obscurity and poverty, till at length they met a just government under which they speedily rose to be one of the most popular mercantile bodies in Asia" (Loc. cit. Darukhanawala & Jeejeebhoy 1938, p. 33).
One of these was an enterprising agent named Rustom Maneck who had probably already amassed a fortune under the Dutch and Portuguese. In 1702 Maneck was appointed the first broker (so also acquiring the name "Seth") to the Company, and in the following years "he and his Parsi associates widened the occupational and financial horizons of the larger Parsi community" (White 1991, p. 304). Thus, by the mid-18th century, the brokerage houses of the Bombay Presidency were almost all in Parsi hands. As James Forbes, the Collector of Broach (now Bharuch), would note in his Oriental Memoirs (1770): "many of the principal merchants and owners of ships at Bombay and Surat are Parsees." "Active, robust, prudent and persevering, they now form a very valuable part of the Company's subjects on the western shores of Hindustan where they are highly esteemed" (Loc. cit. Darukhanawala & Jeejeebhoy 1938, p. 33). Gradually certain families "acquired wealth and prominence (Sorabji, Modi, Cama, Wadia, Jeejeebhoy, Readymoney, Dadyseth, Petit, Patel, Mehta, Allbless, Tata, etc.), many of which would be noted for their participation in the public life of the city, and for their various educational, industrial, and charitable enterprises." (Hull 1913; cf. Palsetia 2001, pp. 37-45, 62-64, 128-140, 334-135).
Through his largesse, Maneck helped establish the infrastructure that was necessary for the Parsis to set themselves up in the city and in doing so "established Bombay as the primary center of Parsi habitation and work in the 1720s" (White 1991, p. 304). Following the political and economic isolation of Surat in 1720s and 1730s that resulted from troubles between the (remnant) Mughal authorities and the increasingly dominant Marathas, a number of Parsi families from Surat migrated to the new city. While in 1700, "fewer than a handful of individuals appear as merchants in any records; by mid-century, Parsis engaged in commerce constituted one of important commercial groups in Bombay" (White 1991, p. 312). Maneck's generosity is incidentally also the first documented instance of Parsi philanthropy. In 1689, the Anglican chaplain John Ovington reported that in Surat the family "assist the poor and are ready to provide for the sustenance and comfort of such as want it. Their universal kindness, either employing such as are ready and able to work, or bestowing a seasonable bounteous charity to such as are infirm and miserable, leave no man destitute of relief, nor suffer a beggar in all their tribe" (Ovington 1929, p. 216).
Rest in peace Mr. Ardeshir Cowasjee.

I will share a story with all of you. Once I was with him in a car and we were at a signal. He pointed towards a garden which his father made a long time ago- called 'Bagh e Rustom'. A poor man was sleeping there peacefully and some random passerby woke him up. Mr. Cowasjee got out of the car and went to the poor man and told him to go back to sleep and said that it is his garden as anyone else's. When I was leaving, he gave me a photo of Jinnah and told me to always remember him (Jinnah) day in and day out. This truly showed what Pakistan was and is meant to be.
Thank you for everything you have done, Mr. Cowasjee.

I shot this when I shot the sandal of Hazrath Peer Mohomed Hussain Qadri Shah Baba Foras road ,,and I have some rare memories of Foras Road Shuklaji street ..we lived at Wodehouse Road Khatau Bhuwan and our family doctor was Dr SP Bhomisa he stayed near Metro Cinema but had his clinic near K Rustom Colaba opp Khodus restaurant ,, for my dad Dr Bhomisa was his saviour and everything .
Late evenings Dr Bhomisa sat at his clinic near the red light area of Foras road and when I was barely 10 my dad bought me to Dr Bhomisa for my khatna ,, a painful experience without anaesthesia .
At home it was tough as we shared our toilet space next to the toilet space of Keith Kanga who would mischievously open my toilet door and shout Sone Ki Chidiya .
So yesterday walking through Foras Road with Nasir bhai bought back my childhood memories ,,
Now circumcision of the male child is done when he is born at the hospital.. our times were very different.
And honestly its now late in my 60s that I heard of female circumcision among Bohras in Mumbai.
Mostly barbers do the circumcision of the male child in Muslim areas ..this is perhaps the only ritual I have not shot still date ..
Today I shot the sandal of Baba Gor from Dongri to JJ and Nagpada and what fascinates me are the streets like Surti Mohalla Temkar Mohalla and sandals are my photo walks I shoot people buildings faces and these streets I have never visited before but the whole sandal walk is very tiring inumerable lanes of Do Tanki Nagpada .
I aborted both the sandals at Nagpada I dont have the strength in my legs ,,
Another point of observation is the sandal is carried by people on a palki barefeet in the hot blazing sun.. even Nasir bhais boys have to do their ratib barefeet.
The best situation street stories you will get walking in the sandals ... try it out next time .

Calbayog City by name is a place where culture and arts dwell ancient time ago.
The name Calbayog evolved from “Cal” meaning lime and “Bayog”- a tree which is burned to produce cal, Calbayog in the olden times was a kind of lime used to cement the stones of church walls. Later, the natives used Calbayog as the name of the place. The tattoo of the brave Samareños we known as “Pintados” and the peculiar anting-antings in several kinds of “Pulahanes” were legends of our artistic time. Basically, the grassroots of our Calbayog art’s origin were the simplicity of our being resourceful and being hardworking folks. Our arts transform because of the coming of colonizers and foreign merchants to our island “Isla de los Pintados” – the name of Samar Island concocted by the Spaniards after they saw the inhabitant’s tattooed bodies as they were welcomed by the Suluans at Homonhon[1], which brought influence to our traditions and lifestyles. But as time passes by, we learned to adapt to changes from traditional-academic point of view to a contemporary-modern representations of arts, and other challenges where innovations of styles and attitudes towards visual arts emerge.
According to Alice G. Guillermo, a professor of art history at the University of the Philippines, who wrote an essay for the painting Spoliarium of Juan Luna who won the first gold medal in the National Exposition of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1884, she said categorically that
Juan Luna in retrospective moved from the smooth marmoreal finish of the academy to a more dynamic and expressive mode, characterized by freer brushstrokes and more liberal, though still restrained, use of color[2]. This is a fact that Calbayognon artists also in retrospection moved from one style to another along with the trend of historic times.
In the report of Calbayog City Arts and Culture Office (CACO) entitled Calbayog Kahiaraan, Five Decades Harvest in the Arts, 1950-2003 mentioned that it has been five decades now since the first breakthrough of art performances and creations in 1950’s…from the time of Manong Jose Gomez, the well-known Calbayognon artist-musician, to the contemporary artists of the new millennium. Five decades filled with enormous and exceptional harvest in the arts in all genres: music, theater, dance, painting, drawing, mixed media works and multi-media productions. A valid rationale to call Calbayog City as the Talent Bank Capital of Region VIII.[3]
Artist Dodong Gutang, the eldest son of the late Man Tinong Gutang - the artist known in Calbayog Knights of Columbus, unfolds some historical events in the youth of his father as estimated year 1950’s. Man Tinong Gutang initiated to organize the Calbayog Artist Group and worked in unrecorded arts projects in the city. He was also known of being a craftsman who made rubber stamps and banners-like scroll for patron saints and other religious-related artistry.
In early 70’s, three visual artists came about in the Diocese of Calbayog.
1. Alberto Doinog - who used to be hired by the parish priest to restore the damage ceiling of the Cathedral,
2. Pablo Rueda - known for his fine restorations of religious images.
3. Monico Panoy, Sr. - whose work showed religious upbringing, on feast days he is commissioned to install images of Saints on the altar and processions.
In 1982, the Leyte Samar Artist Association (LESARTA) was organized by six
enterprising Artists: Raul Agner, Leo Villafuerte, Dulce Cuña, Nelly Zabala, Val Villanueva and Manding Toleza. It was during the Martial Law Years that Leyte Samar Artist Association was able to conduct three exhibits in three succeeding years. Solo and Group art exhibits were mounted not only in Calbayog City but in other places as well. [4]
It was also in this span of years that one artist was being recognized because of his laughing Christ painting series that made him according to many, put to tragic end. This artist was Edgar Sobrejuanite.
More artists came in like Edwin Tuazon, Danny Celum, Raul Celum and Noel Sagayap.Raul Isidro, one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) awardee helped organized the Calbayog Art Association, Inc., a SEC registered Visual Art organization affiliated with Art Association of the Philippines (AAP) with artist-members; Noel Sagayap, Mercedita Garcia, Florence Cinco, Manuel Sabile, Jr., Jaime Sagayap, Jr., Aristole Ventures, Dante Rosales, Gary Manalo, Gerardo Navilon, Ramon Porcare, Armando Toleza, Danny Celum, Valente Villanueva, Rustom Villamor, Tammy Barandino, Rex Ecal, Jun Salurio, Wilfredo Labana, Jose Malnegro, Nokie Batlangao, Marcelino Paz and Ryan Comilang.[5]
One of the most significant works undertaken by Calbayog Art Association, Inc.,
(CAAI) was the mural painting entitled “Bulawanon nga Handumanan san Calbayog”, acrylic on board, size 16 feet by 24 feet. The masterpiece was crafted in connection with the 50th Charter Anniversary of the City of Calbayog. [6]
CAAI also organized the 1st ever Group Art Exhibit in New York dubbed as “Tugahan Nga Ladawan San Isla San Samar (Enchanted Sceneries of Samar Island Philippines) in cooperation with the Office of the President, Department of Tourism (DOT), National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), and also with the help of Mana Laudette Avelino of Senator Jose Avelino Foundation.[7]
In 1994, more breed of young artists came in which resulted to the organization of the Balangau Artist Society with the pioneer members; Jaime E. Sagayap, Jr., Manuel Sabile, Jr., Gerardo Navilon, Wilfredo Labana and Aristole Ventures. [8]
In 1999, Calbayog Art Gallery was established with the artist members; Carlos
Barandino, Mercedita Garcia, Florence Cinco, Manuel Sabile, Jr., Jaime Sagayap, Jr., Aristole Ventures, Gary Manalo, Gerardo Navilon, Armando Toleza, Danny Celum, Valente Villanueva, Jun Salurio, Wilfredo Labana and Ruben Mawo. Many painting exhibits was mounted by the Calbayog Art Gallery (CAG) and CACO like; Kalibungan Group Exhibit at Armando’s Gallery, Kinahimat-an Art Exhibit, Pinturahay, Val Villanueva’s One-man-Show, Noel Sagayap One-man-Exhibit, Mural Exhibit at Intercom Hotel, Manila dubbed as “PISTA”, SM Cebu group art exhibit and others.
In the late 90’s and early of 2000’s more artist groups came into the picture of the visual art’s world namely; Munting Kulay Artists Society (Kulay Artist Society), Dagao Visual Arts Group, Kalbayog Photographers Association, La Granja Artists Association, Batodecolor Artists Association, Isla Caruja Artists Association, Samar Haven of Artists (SAHA), Kadis Arts Group, Replica Artist Group, Pinta-Pintura Artist Group, Likhang Kamay Sisiw (LIKAS), Likha Arts Group and Samar Island Artist Association.[9]
This report recognizes much that from 1950 to present times Visual Arts of Calbayog City is ever growing to its peak of development and universal awareness. The proof of this line is witnessed by many Visayan Islands Art Groups like Black Artist of Asia, Kasikasi of Leyte, and other art groups from Bacolod, Negros, Iloilo, Dumaguete, Cebu, Leyte and Samar in the Bi-annual Visayas Island Visual Artists Association Exhibit and Conference (VIVAA EXCON) where many Calbayognon Artists are joining to this vital event which is institutionalized by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
The writer in his own advocacy would like to create a vision of continuous connectivity of steps to a more vivid and crystal clear study of the visual arts history of Calbayog City and even Samar Island in general. This is in this book that more unfolding of visual art facts are going to be done and exposed as you scan the pages. Moreover, the writer also adhere the vista of the future that is dazzling and vibrant. As a share of thought from H.R. Ocampo, a Filipino painter-writer who wrote the Birth of a New Day as something that was as:[10]
Tall as an odorous cadaver
The petals bloomed
Against the gale of the moon
Against the grinning loon
Darkly came the dawn
Darker still came the stench
Of the quietly blooming morn.

Farah, Afghanistan 2004, legendary birthplace of Rustom, hero of the Shahnama. The origins of the Citadel of Farah, Shar-e-Farahdun, have been lost to time, but it likely dates back approximately 2,500 years and was possibly built or improved upon by Alexander the Great.

Watches silently a city’s dead conscience
Apathy complacency and demise
A weeping sunset a somber sunrise

At the feet of this Parsi philanthropist
Families fornicate shit cook
As their seminal stained linen
In a public thoroughfare dries
A malignant tumour

By By www.boman-rustom-irani.com - The Imperial is a twin-tower residential skyscraper complex in Mumbai, India that were the tallest buildings in the country till June 2012 when Palais Royale topped out. The towers are located at the sea front in Tardeo, South Mumbai. Construction was completed and the towers were inaugurated in 2010.
The Imperial Twin Towers are built on former slum land where the current re-development model of builders providing free land and rehabilitation to slum dwellers in exchange for rights for property development, was first put into practice on a big scale.
Planet Godrej is located in South Mumbai on plot of 9-acre (3.6 ha) at Mahalaxmi, Mumbai Planet Godrej is one of the tallest towers
n India. The tower is 181 m (594 ft) and 51 floors high. Only 5% of the total land was used to build the building leading to a large
amount of open space. It was designed by the internationally renowned, Singapore-based, DP Architects and was also awarded the PINNACLE Award 2006, by Zee Business.
Shreepati Arcade is one of India's tallest buildings and it was completed in 2002. It is located at Nana Chowk, Mumbai, just off Grant
Road bridge in the heart of the city of Mumbai.
The building is 153 meters (500 ft) tall[1] and contains 45 floors. There are six Swiss Schindler's lifts, high speed elevators of up to 4 metres per second, which take only 35 seconds to go from Ground to 45th Flr. The Fire fighting safety systems within the building
are totally automated.

COVID-19 herd immunity is a mirage. Here's how the virus could become 'manageable' instead
Last May, “we had enough vaccination and natural immunity to have basically almost achieved a population level of immunity,” said Dr. Eric Topol. “We were getting down to fewer than 10,000 cases a day. We were looking good.”
Then the delta variant moved the goal posts.
With the original version of the virus that causes COVID-19, America's current vaccination rate of about 65% would have been enough to stop the spread.
"If we were dealing with the original, we have sufficient vaccination such that the large-scale pandemic would be over in this country," said Dr. Joshua Schiffer, a physician and mathematical modeling expert who studies infectious diseases at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
Unfortunately, the now-dominant delta strain is more than twice as contagious and requires more people to be immune through vaccination or previous infection for the virus to stop spreading, say experts.
“Now we need 85 to 90% vaccinated against delta,” said Topol, vice president for research at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California, and a national expert on the use of data in medical research.
It’s not an impossible number. In countries like Portugal, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, upwards of 80% of the total population are now vaccinated, and cases and deaths are falling.
'Cannot believe we are here': 700,000 US COVID-19 deaths is a milestone we never expected to reach
That seems unlikely to happen in the United States, where only 55% of the total population is fully vaccinated, and 12% of Americans say are adamantly opposed to it.
Herd immunity is now effectively out of reach, said Stephen Kissler, an infectious disease fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
“I don’t think it’s realistic,” he said.
What is herd immunity?
The concept of herd immunity is simple: When disease sweeps through a herd of animals, the ones that survive become immune. Eventually, enough have what’s known as natural immunity, and the disease has so few animals left to infect that it dies down or evens out.
The concept got a lot of press early in the pandemic when various politicians and even nations suggested that if young, healthy people got mild cases and recovered, there would be enough immunity that the virus wouldn’t circulate anymore and vulnerable people would be protected.
This was before vaccines were available, and the United Kingdom, Sweden, Brazil and the U.S. under the Trump administration advocated the idea to varying degrees.
On one extreme was a group, which included Florida’s now surgeon general, that in October 2020 published the Great Barrington Declaration. It called for the world to end lockdowns and other transmission prevention measures and embrace herd immunity for COVID-19 to protect the vulnerable while allowing economies to thrive.

The idea was quickly denounced. With a death rate at the time of 1%, COVID-19 would have had to kill 3.2 million Americans for enough people to be infected to reach herd immunity.
For a time, the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines changed the calculation. If two-thirds of Americans had gotten immunized in the spring, the virus would have had so few new people to infect that it could have been largely stopped.
Then the delta variant hit.
At the same time, new data began to show natural immunity wasn't as protective as vaccination, and the benefits of shots began to fade after about six months.
Vaccine mandates: California becomes first state to announce plans to mandate COVID-19 vaccine for schoolchildren
More than a third of COVID-19 infections result in zero protective antibodies, said Dr. Mark Rupp, an infectious disease expert at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
“I wish it weren’t true,” Rupp said. Many of his patients are convinced that having recovered from COVID-19 is all the defense they need.
The good news is that for people who’ve recovered from COVID-19, a single dose of vaccine gives excellent immunity, Topol said.
“You cannot replicate that with any vaccine we have," he said. "It’s pretty extraordinary.”
So far, Rupp isn’t having much success convincing his vaccine-resistant patients to get a shot.
“I've been pleading with folks,” he said.
When will the pandemic end?
With 55% of Americans fully vaccinated and at least 30% recovered from COVID-19 at least once, how is it possible the pandemic can still be surging in so many places?
America is a big country, and even a small number is a lot of people. While it’s hard to pinpoint the number of people not exposed to COVID-19 either through infection or vaccination, experts put it likely at about 15% of the U.S. population. That’s almost 50 million people – plenty to still be getting sick, said Harvard’s Kissler.
It’s also becoming clear that COVID-19 is not “one and done,” said Lauren Ancel Meyers, a professor of statistical and data science and director of the COVID-19 Modeling Consortium at the University of Texas at Austin.
Reinfection and breakthrough cases are changing the landscape of susceptibility as immunity wanes.
On October 1, the seven-day daily COVID-19 deaths in the United States were at 1,479, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“I find it humbling that the leftover percentage, 15%, is still enough to overwhelm our health care system," said Schiffer.
Experts say endemic COVID-19 could make virus 'manageable'
The optimistic expectation, experts say, is that the pandemic will die down, and the virus will become one of the world's many endemic viruses that continue to circulate but cause much less disease and death.
It's predicted to become an infection that still sweeps through the adult population in the winter, sickening some but generally delivering serious illness only to the very old, those with compromised immune systems, and pregnant women who are unvaccinated, said Dr. Gregory Poland, editor-in-chief of the journal Vaccine.
“Once we get to the point where everybody has been exposed or vaccinated and if – and it’s a big if – COVID does what other respiratory illnesses do, it may be a disease that’s manageable,” said Jeffrey Shaman, an epidemiologist at Columbia University.
June 2021: How does COVID-19 end in the US?
February 2021: Health officials say the coronavirus will likely become endemic in the next several years.
Ideally, babies and toddlers would get it multiple times before making it to kindergarten, experts say. For the vast majority, COVID-19 would be mild as it is today for most young children. By the time they begin school, they would have pretty strong immune protection.
The COVID-19 vaccine would become one of the routine immunizations of childhood, probably requiring several doses and possible boosters if new variants appear, experts say.
Much like the flu, COVID-19 in the Northern Hemisphere is expected to be an illness that shows up in the colder months.
If infected, vaccinated adults would generally have mild or even asymptomatic cases. Unvaccinated adults would be at higher risk for severe disease. With age, the immune system becomes less robust, so annual COVID-19 shots would be especially important for those over 65 and the immunocompromised.
COVID-19 also would likely continue to mutate. In some years it would be very mild, in others more severe.
COVID-19 is still evolving
But will this virus follow the typical path of others that we come to live with?
“That’s the trillion-dollar question,” said Columbia’s Shaman.
There are no guarantees with SARS-CoV-2, which can so quickly mutate. The worst-case scenario is that it evolves into something even more dangerous or more contagious than delta.
"All that has to happen is for a new variant with a greater escape from immunity to come along, and we start all over again," Poland said.
Fact check: Yes, viruses can mutate to become more deadly
Public health experts have worried for years about a virus with the infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2 and the death rate of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which is 32% fatal.
Learning to live with COVID-19 means accepting uncertainty and staying ever-vigilant for what might come, said Rustom Antia, a professor of population biology at Emory University.
“Barring a miracle,” added Schiffer, “COVID will be part of our lives for the rest of our lives.”

The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel is a heritage, five-star, luxury hotel built in the Saracenic Revival style in the Colaba region of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, situated next to the Gateway of India. Historically it was known as the "Taj Mahal Hotel" or the "Taj Palace Hotel" or simply "the Taj".
Part of the Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces, this hotel is considered the flagship property of the group and has 560 rooms and 44 suites, employing some 1,600 staff. The hotel is made up of two different buildings - the Taj Mahal Palace, and the Tower, which are historically and architecturally distinct from each other. The former was built at the start of the twentieth century, while the latter was opened in 1973. The hotel has a long and distinguished history, having hosted many notable guests, from presidents to captains of industry and stars of show business. Pakistan's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah's second wife Ratanbai Petit lived in the hotel during her last days in 1929—her mother, Sylla Tata, was born into the Tata family. During World War I the hotel was converted into a military hospital with 600 beds. But the hotel is most known for being the most visible target during the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
In 2017, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel acquired an image trademark, the first building in the country to get intellectual property rights protection for its architectural design.
The Taj Mahal Tower, an additional wing of the hotel, was opened in 1973. It was designed by jointly by Daraius Batliwala & Rustom Patell with the latter having a greater focus later on. Also in 1970s Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces was organized that built new properties and converted palaces into heritage hotels. In 1980, it expanded overseas.
