'Joyous Flame' A Parzor Publication by Rukshana Shroff and Kerman Mehta, illustrated by Naasha Mehta. The book was released Mr Wajahat Habibullah at an event chaired by Mr Fali Nariman. The event was hosted by IIC in collaboration with Parzor Foundation.

Co-author Rukshana Shroff spoke about the genesis and journey of the book—from the Farohar Club for Parsi children, which started in a ‘tentative fashion’ several years ago but soon became invaluable in familiarizing them with the tenets of their religion, and especially to allow them to interact with other Parsi children. As the teachers of the group, she and Kerman Mehta were often asked to bring out a book of their teachings that would be valuable for generations to come, and thus Joyous Flame was born.

The Farohar children delighted the audience with Gujarati hymns, a song about the Gathas, and one highlighting what seems to be the inherent sense of humour of the community. This was followed by a high tea with traditional Parsi snacks.
