The present research portrays the depleting parsi community and their struggle for survival. This novel taken for analysis is a clear representation of the fragmented childhood of Thrity Umrigar a parsi writer. Since it is her debut novel, it is only fitting for her to write about her roots, her childhood and her community. The writing is fragmented just like any diasporic writer, but Thrity umrigar has woven each character and their lives so intricately through their middle class housing complex, childhood and their community. This common blanket that brings all the characters of this novel together. The title of the book itself signifies reminiscences of the old time it refers to Bombay as Bombay and not Mumbai as it is referred now by the millennials. The characters all talk about Bombay and they all delve into the past and take a walk on memory lane. They all talk about how they were, their ideologies, their dreams their pasts and everything.
