A people’s pleaser. If you know a Avi then you are going to love him. He will do everything in his capability to impress you. Avi doesn’t give up easily. A hell of a brainer, ask him anything and he will answer. An Aviman is like a walking talking encyclopaedia. Don’t let go!
There goes Aviman... he is so sweet and polite. I love that guy!

A deeply nuanced Bengali word for a highly specific psychological state that English completely fails to capture. It is the silent, tender ache that happens when someone you deeply love or respect hurts your feelings, and instead of exploding in anger, you withdraw into a quiet, wounded dignity.
It is not petty sulking or bitter resentment. It is a compound emotion that requires three ingredients: deep love, a bruised ego, and the unspoken expectation that the other person should have known better because of how close you are. You can never feel abhiman toward an enemy or a stranger; it can only exist where there is absolute trust. It manifests as a fragile silence—a vulnerable, quiet plea for the other person to notice you’ve pulled away, realize their mistake without you having to spell it out, and gently pull you back in.
Scenario: Person A forgot his anniversary with his wife. Instead of yelling or starting a massive fight, his wife simply goes quiet, talks in polite, short sentences, and avoids eye contact while staring out the window.
Friend: "Is she mad at you? Did she blow up?"
Person A: "Honestly, I wish she would just yell at me. It’s not anger, it’s pure aviman. She’s deeply hurt that I forgot, and now I have to figure out how to melt that ice and make it right."

Animaniacs

The greatest animated show ever, along with Batman: The Animated Series. Its main characters were Yakko, Wakko and Dot, three crazy children of indeterminate species. Packed with pop culture references, slapstick and innuendo.
Animaniacs was the highlight of my childhood.
