@vishalversi they're both used to express being thirsty though, I'd say 'parched' is used to emphasise it more

Thirsty commonly is used as slight to extreme use, 'I'll go get a drink because I am thirsty', but it can also be used as in 'I'm dying of thirst'
While parched is only used to mean a minimum
