The righteousness path is represented by Ahura Mazda and evil part by Angra Mainyu. The fact of this liturgy is common in all the religions or dharamas but here they are different in one sense i.e. Life Path, Parsis mainly choose the path of righteousness .Unlike other religion their life’s paths includes more positivity and less negativity. Their strong orthodox believes are some-what not that as much cruel as compared to others.

The bride and groom after some age start looking similar, most common in their religion. The Bawa and Bawi together are most cutest couples. Bawa loves Bawi for the Bawiness and Bawi loves Bawa for Bawaness.

Dikra, Ghadero

Despite being their uncontrollable laughter, the old Parsi’s often use Dikra in their Parsi accent which sounds as sweet as  sugar which they mixed into milk of rural Jadi Rana at the time of arrival in india, as refugees. Even after 10 centuries have passed they still sound as sweet as they promised to Jadi Rana. The second slang “Ghadero” you will often hear from them whenever you are at their home or in group of Parsi people. If you ever met any Parsi’s grandfather then surely these two words might be mesmerizing in your ears right now.

Kinship Terminology
Kin terms follow the pattern found among other Gujarati speakers in the region.
