Parvesh Cheena- Cuddle Time

You may know him from his role as Gupta on NBC’s Outsourced; or maybe you know him from his time in theatre; or maybe you just know him because he's the kind of guy that everybody knows. We know him as all of the above, but especially our guest. This week we are so glad Parvesh Cheena could come sit down with us and chat. Now on this show we have had interviews that were more formal and guests that were casual, but Parvesh was easily our most relaxed. He is truly an open and generous guy who spoke with us about anything and everything that came up in our conversation. But just because it was relaxed, doesn’t mean we didn’t have some true debate. The episode starts off with us on different sides of the plane regarding community. Parvesh advocates for a larger sense of community: a global community. Akaash strongly believes in the standpoint of a Desi/American Desi community. I, Arjun, am still figuring it out and kinda play both sides. But we begin by diving deeply into unpacking what a global community means. Parvesh is far too interesting and expansive for us to simply stay on one topic so we move into technology, traveling to India, music we grew up on, proper ways of cuddling, and theatre, all before we reached talking about how his homosexuality affected him in this community and his journey growing up. I truly don’t want to say much more than that because I want you guys to just sit back and enjoy. I hope you have as much fun listening as we did doing this episode. As always we are going to do our discussion in a few days so get at us with your thoughts, we love talking about them. Enjoy.
