Thanks a lot Deep, Solitude, n smileypkr. The real thing is that I was always confused whether the meaning of parakhi was an expertee or an admirer/devotee!! m still confused as m gettting mixed reactions from ppl at sajha!! 

If its an expertee, doesnt it sound absurd to say that u r at an expert at sth(4 urself)???

n i have heard some cigarette advertisement back home sayin "parakhi haru ko lagi!"!! Doesnt it mean for those who have good understanding abt cigarettes or someone who knows a lot abt the stuff rather than who loves/admires the thing!!??
