This incharge A.I.R. Officer was so much gratified, for otherwise, he would have been in deep troubles, that I e could not forget such a generously adjusting, promptly acting and forgiving greatness of Parul.....!
PARUL AS SEEN BY HER INMATES : CO-STUDENT
Smt SHARMILA DUTTA, M. A. After passing her B.A. exam. with flying colours, Parul had got admission in M,A,
The first day in college happens to be of gossips and fuss. As soon as I entered the class room, I saw a silent and gentle but smiling girl seated in a corner, With smiling gestures she was replying to all of others, questions, It was against my nature to mix up so easily on the very first day, I got a little angry upon her in mind," But, to my surprise, making friends with all she came to me, as if she had known my mind and was trying to reply, pacify and influence me!
She gave me her introduction-Parul : Parul Toliya. I felt at that time that what learning such a mixing girl will accomplish... she will waste whole of her time in friends and gossipings only!
But, as the days passed, she became more and more intimate. It so happened then that there was not a single day which passed without meeting her. If not, it seemed that the day has gone in vain. This was the state of affairs-not only of mine, but of all. Her personality itself was like this-sweet, pleasing !
Parul, inspired by the ideal of 'work is worship' just like her father Pratapkumar Toliya, was giving her entire co-operation in the earnings of her family also. She was eldest of all the five sisters. She never lagged behind in sharing the responsibilities of her father and fulfilling the duties as the eldest one of children.
