Their poverty line
The Bombay Parsi Punchayet revised the definition of a poor Parsi as one who earns up to Rs 90,000 a month, in order to be eligible for a subsidised community apartment. Naturally, everyone had an opinion. Ramesh Srivats tweeted: âIf a Parsi earns Rs 100,000 a month, he has a lakh of amenities. If he earns Rs 90,000 a month, he has a lack of amenities. Poor Parsi.' Abdulla Madumoole, on the other hand, said: âI congratulate the Parsi community for defining poverty at Rs 90,000 per month. It shows how developed it is. Well done.'
Things to do
What do girls love? That question was discussed in much detail, yielding these responses: âWhen a guy is just honest with them' and âwhen you send them messages after they fall asleep, so they have something to wake up to.'
The last word
From actor Ranvir Shorey: âFact is, if someone in power wants to harass you, there are enough laws to choose from, because most of them are inherited from colonial rule [sic].'
