It was 24th November2007, I remember that day, may be it was the most special day or you can say, luckiest day for me.Luckiest day ..!!!..hmmmmm I’ll tell you guy’s later.
23rd Nov 2007, I was working in office, and suddenly Michael asked me about some AUTOCAR car exhibition which was scheduled to be held at Bandra Kurla Complex. This was a golden opportunity for an NFS freak like me. I agreed immediately. That night was an insomniac night for me. I was dreaming, but awake, driving a Ferrari in my dream and eagerly awaiting the dawn of the new day.
Finally, the sun rose proudly over the horizon and so did my hopes to see my beauty. We had decided to meet at BKC MMRDA around 1.30PM. Everything worked as per the plan and we reached the place at 1.45PM. We were desperate to move inside.
As soon as we entered, we saw all the modified sports car dressed up with JBL music system equipments. They had created an ambience similar to that of a beach. I would say it was just looking vivid.
The Italian Beauty Lamborghini Gallardo
The loud music with its bass (woofer sound) was increasing our heart beat; Now our excitements boiled up to their extremes and hence we decided to move into the actual hall where the exhibition had started.
“Wow!!! Its Awesomeâ€, Sanvid(my friend) shouted loudly..!!
Believe it, the place was stupefying. We were confused about where to go, what to see, & what to capture as the first photograph. We started our first session of shoot from the Metallic Grey BMW 360i.
Everyone had teemed up to get a view of the beauty, just like a film shoot and giving pose “jaise aapni baap ki hi car ho†(I knew, like us, everyone wanted to display his/her photo with the car on orkut……lol…!)At that moment we were so delirious that no one could stop us.
Its Me ..!! With My Girlfriend BMW 360i.
There she was. The Italian beauty. The Lamborghini Gallardo. Actually, Gallardo means BULL and hence the car should be a HE rather than a SHE 
. This bull can rage to more than 300 Km/Hour and can go from 0 to 200 Km/Hour in just 14.5 Seconds.. Amazing!!
The Italian Police has it.
Don’t worry! In India too, one of the loveliest cars is put to Police use in Chennai. The Hyundai Accent.
Time was running fast without our knowledge, we moved to the other section. We took snaps with Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, BMWs, Corvettes, Audis, Rolls Royce and Bentleys..
It’s a Rolls Royce …Sorry but Cant see Amitabh Bachaan ..lol
We were in PARADISE. Further we moved on to the next section where free rides were offered on each purchase of Mahindra’s Bolero and Scorpio collectibles. It was a disappointment as the rides had been stopped for the next 45 minutes and hence we couldn’t try it.
“Its 4.30 now we have to move†Michael said. We came out of hall. My focused eyes caught a gorgeous model standing behind the car. Immediately I said to Michael,â€aare yaar atleast muze ek baar uske saath photo nikal neka moka milna chahiye..!!†We call it in hindi “Dil ki baat jubaan pe aagayi..!!…lolâ€.
I spotted some people trying out their luck on the “wheel of fortuneâ€. Most were getting popcorns or discount coupons. The girl hosting it forced us to try the Wheel. There were lots of prizes on the wheel which included discounts, gifts, candyfloss, popcorn and photo op.
I span the wheel and I got a PHOTO OP. I didn’t know what it meant. I was all smiles when I came to know from the Hostess that it meant “taking a photo with a modelâ€.“lo meri bhagwan ne sun li..!,Bhagwan ke ghar der hai magar aandher nahi….lol†I was very happy n nervous too. â€Dimmag me halchal mach gai thi…!..jaise, agar koi aachi model aai to thik hai, nahi to gai kaamse.â€
Its Me again.!!.. With an American Pie..lol
Finally I took a snap with an awesome beauty.!!! I was just feeling shooting for “American pie†…lol… So that’s my story of American Pie. I think, you people definitely would have liked reading this blog.

just kidding ….it was nice pic dude.
#7 by Harsh - December 5th, 2007 at 23:10
Hey Pari thts a new side of urs which I hav seen 2day…I guess u can deliver a complete package. U can write a gud story, act in it…and evn we can support u for tht
As we can C herione tereko raste chalte milti hi rehti hain…uski music ke baare mein toh mujhe bolne ki zaroorat nahi hai…bhaijaan the title should not be only “A Guy, Got an American Pie†but further this shud be added “A Guy, hu Got an American Pie will b the nxt Subhash Ghai”

@ Jiten
Jealous? Yeah! You should have asked the people accompanying Parijaat.. ask me.. Man! Was he lucky? All through the exhibition he kept telling me if we could take a snap with any of the models..Bhagwan ne iski sachmuch sun lee..
#20 by michael.fernando - December 11th, 2007 at 21:32
Not to forget the dreamy world that Parijaat entered after taking that snap with the Firangi.. He turned into a deep thinker projecting his head upwards towards the sky as if he were looking towards the flying birds, even when we were speaking to him…and he realized this physically-present-mentally-absent thing only when shaken and told, “Abbey! Tere se hi baat kar rahe hain”
#21 by yogita - December 12th, 2007 at 11:14
Hey Buddy
