My nomination list – I

  The Avante Garde blogger awards for the year 2009 is Kick started now and I am really happy. Last time my participation is in the level of voting, this time I am going to nominate and compete along with it 🙂 Thanks to Poonam and volunteers of AGB for organising this mega event in blog.

So here is my first list of posts for nominations.

The trouble I am facing here is, under which category I can put the posts so that it will be really apt. After pondering over a little, I have managed to put them in a category which my little brain(don’t ask me where it is) thought that’s the one.

From DI, wonderfully written short story on gender bias.
