Dear Members

We would like to present you a souvenir of our Centenary celebrations inwhich most of you participated with your family and friends.

Going by today’s trend, there is little text and lot of photos. We hope youwill find yourselves and your friends there.

The souvenir is printed in colour to capture the vibrancy of the celebrationsand the beautiful clothes you all wore at different events. In this we thank thephotographers of our community who have preserved these memories for us:photo credits apear at end of each event. I have tried to place as manydifferent faces as I could because between the various events practically theentire community in Karachi must have been a part. My apologies to those Icould not include due to space constraint.

We thank the advertisers for their generous support which has helped in defraying major cost of printing.

We received a suggestion to include the list of KZBM members. This appears on pages 18-20. Therefore if yourpicture is not in the pages, your name will definitely be there.

Thumbnail history of the Mandal is also included on page 21.

Hope you will enjoy the brochure and keep it.

In the name of Ahura Mazda (Ba-nam-e-khuda....) we began Banu Mandal’s centenary celebration and this guidedus to simple but joyful celebrations in which practically the entire community of Karachi was able to participate on oneor more occasions.

The Jashan was symbolically on 11-11-11 which was 100 years to the date when thought for the Mandal wasconceived at the home of our founder Gulbai Mehta. All mobed sahibs of Karachi were invited to perform the jashanand this was followed by simple cake cutting, some pictures and an address by Mandal’s President Navaz Aga whoalso invited ideas for year-long celebration.

A gala evening with Parsi-style sit-down dinner was attended by nearly 800 persons. There was a medley ofentertainment: a Broadway sequence, catwalk, a natak song and young girls in saris with placards; while “MandalLights” was a slide-show of KZBM’s 100-year history in pictures.

The audience added to the gala ambience with their elegant garas, kor ni saris and sporty gentlemen in daglas. Dosee a red gara ‘palav’ on page 5 belonging to our Founder President Gulbai Mehta, now an heirloom to Nina RussiWania who is seen wearing it. Parsi sit-down dinner and a memento to mark the occasion concluded the evening.

The challenge of February programme made us realise that in today’s world with demand on everyone’s time at workand school, it would be practical to have programmes that do not demand excessive time but are popular with ourpeople.

What followed in May was a truly Grand Tambola with a profusion of lucky dip and bingo prizes in cash andhampers and a snowball of whopping Rs 25,000/-, delighting a large crowd many of whom went home with abroad smile.

A medley of activities once again with a witty emcee Maharukh Bhiladwala to take it forward.

It was more a ‘Over 40s’ attendance with coaxing the hesitant to the floor with a relief break for thank yous and aauction to raise funds. Some more dancing and games followed by dinner. The energetic ones, however, shakedtheir hips well past midnight.

An adaptation of a 3-hour natak in Gujrati to a one+ hour in Roman script was a feat to begin with. It was staged bylargely a debut cast with guest appearance by two veterans in the closing scene. Second day was open to non-Zarthosti friends.

In our entertainment-starved people it drew crowds also from the non-Zarthostis, and the audience had many laughs atthe complications faced by the young hero juggling three pretty stewardesses and promising each one lifelong fealty!
