Avakai..

Our mango tree has bore fruit... so the queen of cuisine... my grandmom, my mom and my aunt got down for the annual ritual.. making the Avakai.. or rather Putting the Avakai [ avakay pettadam] :P

My mom and my aunt cut the mangoes into li'l bunch a pieces.. while my grandmom was patiently mixing the whole thing with her hands.. putting in the required amounts of uppu, karam etc etc.. and the smell that emanated was too much for me to resist and i quietly managed to sneak in and grab a handful for me to munch on even as my ammamma started her endless trademarked tittus exclusively reserved for me. .. Oreyy Vedhava sanyasi... chetulu pettaku.. intaga edigavu.. inka vedhavveshaalu maanledu... adda gaadida!!!!

lol.

In my opinion, there is no better pickle than Avakai.

Mango's the king of fruits

Avakai's the king of pickles

Period

Avakai + mudda pappu.. Here i come.

Burp.

PS:Ever tried Pizza+ Avakai combo.. yummmmm it is.. :D

Richie: So, are we in a serious relationship?

Me: Why does it have to be serious? Why can’t I be in a funny relationship?

Richie: What’s a funny relationship?

Me: It’s one where you can make out and party and laugh and have fun 24/7.

Richie: That’s fine. As long as it’s in a serious relationship.

Me: I’ll never understand women.

NEVER accompany women on shopping trips..

[Life's Lesson # 3457 : Never accompany women on shopping trips. I learnt that the hard way. ]


Richie's in town from Chennai.. and she had to do some shopping. so as usual picked the ever-jobless yours truly.. even i had to get some easter shopping done as well. so we went to Lifestyle.

She decides to buy these two tops. Both of them are in some sorta similar Brownish colors. Now I notice the top she's wearing. No prizes for guessing but you can guess anyways. Yes you're right.

Brown.

I'm assuming you got it right. So if you didn't, blow me.

I did what i do best ie Ask a stupid question. Now at that time point of time it didn't seem stupid at all.But in retrospect, i have to own up. That was one of the stupidest questions ever cos all i got were weird answers . Here's how the conversation ensued.

Me: wats with all the brown clothes ra?

Richie: Brown is the New Pink. [?] -Weird answer#1

Me: what happens to the pink ones then? won't people buy them anymore?

Richie: People are still gonna buy pink cos Pink is the New Black. [??] -Weird Answer #2

At this point of time, i was more confused than ever, but still.. i hung on in there..tried to get one more query clarified.

Me: Errr.. o...kay but then what about the Black clothes??

Richa : Black Rules forever dude.

Me: *Chukkalu*Chukkalu*More Chukkalu*

:S

finally felt the depth in what mayank says all the time.. Ab kya bolna samajh mein nahi aara!!!hehe
