Berjis Desai

The Bawaji Berjis Desai

Fifty Parsi portraits include: The city father assassinated in broad daylight. The aristocratic sisters owing allegiance to the British Monarchy, fifty years after independence. The principal who bent all his principles for a masseuse. The accountant who organised tax raids on his own clients. The Thumri humming high priest of Navsari. The magician who was stripped by his maid. The con-man who met Marlyn Monroe through time travel. The renowned forensic expert who hypnotised roosters. The stud who fathered half a village in Pune. The serpent avatars with their Bollywood glitz. The serial philanderer who seduced countless domestics behind a water tank.
