ROI 10: Pur..pur..pur..purrrrrrrrrrrrr

He had a CD player of his own…but he had to borrow mine! He had an awesome sony erricson K750i but he had to listen to the songs on my Creative Zen all the time!! He had a room and room mates but he would always be with us in 308!!! He’s the person who irritated me the most at Savoy and managed to go scott free each time…Parleen the great!


He only looks mature guys…I have never met a more immature guy than this young lad!! Trust me...he is so very easily distracted from his goal…just like small children…so very easily dejected…so very easily hurt! God sometimes when I used to have these ‘pep-talks’ with him it was as though he was the girl and I was the guy! Sheesh!


He’s a good friend…irritating yes…annoying yes…immature yes…but nevertheless fun!


There was a time when almost all the girls on Idol (except 308) had a crush on this dude and he always came to me to express his utmost disgust on that matter, although I knew within he was jumping joyfully at the attention he got unasked! These boys I tell you!

Although I have heard from reliable sources that boys seldom clean their rooms, I fail to agree in Parleen’s case. I can say he was the ‘Aisha’ of 206 (his room) with his roommates Shan and Roshan. He was cleanliness raised to a 103. Whenever he felt even a spick of sweat/dirt on him he would dash for a bath! Yes a full fledged half-hour bath! Even if it was 12 in the night! Have you heard of such insanity? I think he used to have it thrice or four times a day!

Apart from his irritating urge to keep attacking my tickle-sensitive spots (this disease which soon transferred to Chang), even though his weakness was the same too, his weird table manners irked me. He used to eat with both his hands! Yes…tear a chappati with two hands…my two year old cousin does it single handedly with ease! When I told him that we normal human beings use only one hand, and after a lot of coaxing…he started using one hand. Phew! I told him his parents would be glad that he found a friend on Idol who transformed him from a naughty boy to a well-behaved man!!



He loved posing for pictures. And if the photographer (like mua) was really serious about what he/she was doing then the pictures came out brilliantly. If not singing…after Idol I’m sure Parleen a.k.a Pinni is gonna get loads of modeling offers!! Among all my pictures half would be filled with both Parleen and Vani posing extensively!! They loved being shot…and sometimes I really did wish my cam could shoot them down! Hehe!


Check this one picture I took of his, first I experimented the Beckham hairstyle on him and then wanted to try out the low-lighting technique in my room and the result is…

So…? Wha’dya guys think of my photography huh?


Since I am in the mood of displaying my skills here’s another one with Suhit and Chang (the posing idea was Suhit’s while I was the hand behind the cam!)

Hmm I know I know… multi-talented…well…that’s me!! Hehehe!…Puh-leez I am just a Jack of all trades and Master of known seriously!!!


Back to pur..pur..pur…purrrrrrrrleen!! That’s the nick name Harshi gave him!


He loved talking about…no no I’m sorry…he Loves talking about bikes!! Given a chance he could spend days telling you his adventurous (boring to me) biking trips! Or even car swerving tricks would do!! Gosh!! Why do all boys have some-sort of magnetic craze to these metallic wheeled vehicles??

Well I know Vani & Aish always asked me why I never reacted to the pranks and irritating things he did to me or why I never got pissed off at him…probably that’s because under all that naughtiness and immaturity I saw a pure-heart and a genuine friend…he was more like a brother I never had...a younger one though in age he is elder to me by two months! Like that matters!!

If you end up becoming the Idol dude…don’t forget old folks like me…atleast I know I did try hard to get you to focus on your singing when you were busy thinking of “other things”!Hehe! And if you don’t well…don’t give up faith in your talent…keep trying…and like you told me once..I might see you in those army uniforms like your dad one day!! All the best for everything buddy!
