So, it’s a bright sunny morning, I wake up.. my normal cheerful self. Last day of the year.. big plans for the day.. lots of eating and lots of sleeping!!
But my dreams are shattered as my mom entrusts me with the daunting task of making Rajmahs (yeah baby.. I can do that). ok.. so there are a few ground rules that need to be followed if I’m cooking.
1 the music should be so loud that I cannot hear my mom’s voice (read: nagging) while I’m cooking
2 no one.. and I mean NO ONE should enter the kitchen while I’m cooking (read on n u’ll know why)
My ipod in my ears and I’m all set. For the benefit of the readers and my own reputation I would not like to disclose the song that I was listening to but let’s just say it was one of the crazy upbeat hip hop numbers. Spectators could see tomatoes juggling through the air, (in fact I think I heard a applause after that act :P) next came the onions and the process went on. The loud music was well complimented by my dance(precisely the reason I need the whole kitchen to myself). Seriously, with knives as my props I would like to believe the dance would have put the likes of Saroj n Farah Khan to shame. :P
Next came the mixing, all the chopped vegetables went into the mixer n with a swooping movement the plug went into the switch and with another swirl I switched on the mixer.
DARKNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only sound that could be heard was from my ipod (God bless Apple!!)
The fuse went off, luckily it was not the case with my father, who patiently set things right.
But the mixi never worked again.
May its soul rest in peace.
.

For all of you who are wondering what happened to the Rajmahs.. well, we have a backup mixer so I continued my performance and it was quite a success!! :)

I AM MY OWN CONSTANT
I love to dance, but if you ask me to dance, I won’t
I love to sing, but if you ask me to sing, I won’t
I love to cook, but if you ask me to cook, I won’t
wait for me.. wait for me to do things my own way..
wait for me to make you feel special..
and I’ll do everything you want me to
let me be me..
love me for me
hate me for me
after all..
I am.. my own constant.

Right.. Aint it?
Women like silent men. They think they're listening. ~Marcel Achard
Sahi hai”, he said.. and his life was never the same again…
It’s a known fact that boyfriends don’t listen to their girlfriends.. and by listen I don’t mean agree to them.. although that’s also true but what I’m trying to say here is that they are lost in their own world when their girlfriends are sharing their troubled thoughts, which to a girl may be more important than the on going nuclear deal but for her boyfriend maybe like a normal weather telecast.
But most of the boys are very good at hiding this drawback of their’s. and they do this by using phrases like.. “hmmmm”.. “I know”.. “yeahh” and not to forget.. “sahi hai”. But alas.. if only we were living in the perfect world.. one of my friend got into trouble doing this and today I’m writing this blog to warn all other boyfriends (one in particular) to beware.
So this is what happened. A normal day.. normal talks on the phone.. slowly and steadly the girl moves from gear one to third, this is where she goes on and on without caring if there’s a bomb blast in the next room. She is telling her boyfriend about how she’s upset about something at home.. (poor soul.. just looking for some words of comfort from her mate) and the boyfriend.. who I’m guessing was busy thinking about some issue of national importance replied “sahi hai”
“*@#$%^&())_+$@@”
I don’t think I need to tell you what happened after that. All those who have ever been in a relationship will easily crack the above code and decipher the girl’s reaction.
So, all those boyfriends reading this let me tell you “ Love isn’t easy but it sure is hard enough”

AFA
AVNEET’S FRIENDSHIP AWARDS (AFA)
Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to Avneet’s Friendship Awards. This event is being specially held to honor all my friends, who, over the years have been a constant source of inspiration, support and a BIG reason for the chirpy bubbly Avneet you know. I know writing a blog does not make up for all that they’ve done for me or to express what they mean to me, but it’s a small way of saying thank you and letting them know that they are always cherished.
A very important announcement before we start. As you will go through this blog many of you may notice the absence of a particular name. Just to make it clear, he is not being mentioned here not because he means less to me, but rather because he qualifies for all these awards and by giving him only one or two out of these I don’t want to categorize him.
Ok, so let us begin. Let me make it clear that these awards here are not in any particular order. All of them hold equal importance for me.
The first is the AFA for “best flirting” which goes to Mr HARSHVARDHAN ARORA for his pathetic attempts at flirting with me and convincing me that he was the right guy for me (and for many others :P)
The second is the AFA for “forgetfulness” which undoubtedly goes to Mr GAURAV JUYAL for his streak of madness and forgetful nature. It is for his feeble attempt at remembering birthdays or me for that matter but yet making me feel special.
The third AFA is for “masti” which goes to Ms VANDANA VIJAYKUMAR for all the wild times I’ve spent with her. Unfortunately, she could not be present to collect the award.
Fourth in line is the award for “pampering” which goes to Mr MAYANK LAKHANPAL for spoiling me to the core, much to the displeasure of others and for being there for me.
Next award is for “lovable” which goes to Ms MALLIKA MALHOTRA for all her ‘darlings and sweethearts’ and for being so painfully nice and caring
The sixth award is the “ipod buddy” which goes to Ms MONICA JASSI for sharing my ear plugs and enjoying all the crazy songs with me.
The seventh AFA is for “messaging buddy” which goes to Mr UTKARSH NIGAM for messaging with me in all the boring classes about anything and everything.
Next in line is the AFA for “caring and loving” which goes jointly to Mr an
d Mrs AMRINDER AND DILRAJ ARORA for taking care of me and helping at every difficulty I’ve faced.
The ninth AFA is for “understanding” and the winner is Ms SONAM DHINGRA for always understanding and patiently bearing with me and my mood swings
Last, but not the least is the AFA for “expert advice” which goes to Ms ADITI GUPTA for always giving (read: imposing) her expert advice whether or not required.
There are others whom I have not mentioned for some reason or the other but that does not imply that they mean any less to me. All these people have been a very important part of my life and I am thankfull to all of them in some way or the other.
Lastly I would like to congratulate all the winners.. they all truly desrve this.
Have a Good Day!

for u guys!!
A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald but if he has fire, women will like him. ~Mae West
Guys are funny creatures, but I guess that is what makes them interesting!! I’ve had the chance to know many guys and also to observe them carefully. They may be stubborn, stupid or complete idiots, but they prove to be the greatest friends. In short, they are all dogs!! Fighting like enemies in the day and drinking out of the same glass at night, confused about their own feelings. They’ll give up anything to prove they are tough but inside, their hearts are made of stuff toys; cute and soft.
In this blog I’m writing about my 5 friends who are and have been very close to me at some point in my life. I think I know them quite a lot lets see how much of that is true. Here, I’ve replaced the name of each of the guys with a number and I guess I don’t need to tell you guys what to do.
Before I start let me also mention that under normal circumstances the first person I should be writing about should be my boyfriend but I shall be defying that law here, just to complicate things a little. Just for this one time honey you’ll have to go down a little but I assure you, you have the top spot in my life.
No 1. 1 feels that he is the funnies guy, but sadly that is true for the next four guys as well or maybe for all the guys!! He thinks he is a stud (don’t they all??). His opinion is that I am a boy trapped in a girls body which is also the reason we get along so well. Like a typical guy he’ll check out every girl that walks past in a micro mini or a skirt but deep down he believes (and I’ll quote him here) “a girl looks most beautiful when she is wearing a plain white suit”. He has always been confused about his feelings for girls and often turned to me for my ‘girly’ advice (in these matters I am the perfect girl). Needless to say he has still not found a girlfriend but trust me; it has nothing to do with my expert advice!!
No 2. One sunny Sunday God was in a funny mood and he decided to make no 2. A little of this, a little of that, a streak of madness and what do we have.. complete chaos. But despite all this he is a complete darling. He believes that he has 20 years to live and after that he’ll go mad( although I feel he is overestimating himself ;)). He has been gifted with the ability of not being able to think straight which provides logic to his wild imaginations. The most amazing part about him is that despite all this he has managed to find himself a girlfriend, but that does not mean the confusion has ended, that’s there to stay. I guess that’s my sweet no 2.
No 3. This one is the toughest of them all. No 3 is a complete package of surprise. Do not believe anything you’ve heard about him because in all probability he’ll prove it wrong. He may not be sure about what to do tomorrow but he has the schooling plans for his kids very clear in his mind. A kind and helpful soul he is committed t o everything he does. His motto in life is “You’ll have to understand what I want cos I wont say it “he is bad with words when it comes to expressing himself and try his best to avoid any awkward situation. We are still searching for a girl who is a mind reader and matches up to his exquisite tastes.
No 4. They all think they are funny but he is the wittiest of them all. A charming personality that will please you in minutes, he is the only guy I’ve met till now who is clear about his feelings. No confusion whatsoever! He is all about traditions, rules and principles. A complete family guy, he is the types any girl would like to take home to her parents and without doubt he’ll impress them. He has a thing with words and can convince you to fall in love with him. I’ve heard this is what he did with his girlfriend. Trust me, I’ve met her and she says the charm is still on.
No 5. He is the last but definitely not the least. I may have known him the longest but still claim to know the least about him. He is very choosy about his friends but values the ones close to his heart (read: possessive about them). He is an expert at flirting and even tried it with him but I guess he has realized that it’s not worth it with friends. The count of his girlfriends’ increases in direct proportion to the population of our country and the best part is that he manages to keep them all happy. He is a mixed bag of all the good and bad habits which I shall not divulge into for his benefit. In short, he is an all rounder!!
Well I guess this is it, I hope you all like it. I'll be waiting for your comments/guesses. Best of luck!! :)
