Milk canister seats at Parsi Dairy

One of South Mumbai’s oldest dairies may have stopped delivering fresh buffalo milk at dawn to loyal patrons in large aluminium milk canisters, but the iconic utensil finds new place of pride at the institution’s Princess Street headquarters.

Bang in the centre of the shop sit four canisters topped by bright blue cushioning.

Making the perfect stool, the seats were occupied by two young St Xavier’s College students, sipping on lassi, when we dropped in last week. Every legendary business needs a shot of new ideas.

And Parsi Diary seems to be in safe hands at least on that front.
