Ensure that their naojote is done, that they wear the sudreh-kusti at all times and prayers are done daily. Knowledge presented in this manner will make our children proud to wear their sudreh-kusti.

One should be aware that in many communities of Western countries it is not a common practice to give respect to one's elders as we do back home.
Children talk in the same tone to elders as they do to their peers.

We too must try and maintain our own traditions. To our youngsters who are intent on marrying outside, think of the pain you will bring to your parents and other near and dear ones. These doubts may specially appear to some of us as we move to higher positions in our profession and usually find ourselves amidst more and more non-Parsis. They value, appreciate and respect our decision to maintain our distinct identity.
