Chocolate


Chocolate




It is often said that Chocolate  is a way of life ,It’s having a character , fun , life ,indulgence , a sort of joie de vivre ,sometime associated with Sex also , amazing !! , it has got stress relieving property  also. I always categories  people, those who like chocolate & other who don’t. I normally don’t have good tuning with those who don’t eat chocolate  unless they are too old & of previous gens. If u luv life & yrself , chocolate is must,

Some chocolate Quotes ;
“There are two kinds of people in the world:  those who love chocolate, and communists. “ Leslie Moak Murray
“My favorite thing in the world is a box of fine European chocolates which is, for sure, better than sex.”  Alicia Silverstone
“All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt! “ Charles Schulz

We may find thousands of poems on chocolate on the internet.

Buying chocolate & liquor at airports is always fun , especially when you are buying in $ or in other currencies  .I feel like  a child while filling my cart & more than that chocolate is fav gift for kids & they just luv it , feel happy to have lots of chocolates ,such feeling gave me immense pleasure  & I always utilised opportunities to buy chocolates.
After all chocolate brings happiness in all sizes and flavors ....& for all sizes.

Reason for writing this Chocolate post is not only due to my liking for the chocolate , but to express that some food varieties can also bring real happiness & one can really indulge in it ,In fact one can buy happiness , isn’t it ! .
During our recent visit to Bangalore , we visited "Corner House Ice parlour" serving Chocolate named “ Death By Chocolate “ or DBC as popularly called , Tukur liked it instantly & immensely , I too had it once & like the stuff. During our 3 days stauly at Bangalore we had visited same Corner house parlour for all 3 days that too after crossing half of the city .

In Mumbai CCD is OK , mainly for their locations e.g. Bandstand   ,  other one is   “Costa Coffee “ at Khar (w) , Café is in posh area of Khar & always occupied by niche gentry , great ambience , seating  both inside & outside(preferred)  beautiful road with huge tress lined on both sides , posh residential buildings , also few bungalows , nice place to drive thru on a weekend , they have some delicious chocolate muffins with chocolate sauce.

Late night cravings : Cutting Chai at 3 AM , 80 Km drive :

Bombay , Chai ,Café Reminiscence
Café Reminiscence










It is normal for us ( family) to come back home  late night 2, 3 AM from city outings , but this crazy outing was somewhat different  ( spoiled in fact) . Saturday night we all 4 family members were chatting & having a light musical singing session post midnight , suddenly tinny/tukur  got this crazy idea of having cutting Chai or Icecream somewhere , A Chai  .. right now !! as usual I was ready for any crazy outing , as for me having a cutting chai @ Thela/Gumti  during a long drive/odd locations/time is a philosophy , a way of life , a mental rejuvenation, not just tea only, Chinese also says “for Chinese, tea is not just tea, it is a combination of Chinese Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism” .
We all got up , I have my linen pajamas on, took sweater/shawls only as any change to casuals/jeans was not permitted & we took mandatory “ Rockstar” CD.  We started  around 1:30 AM , it was calm outside ,dark night , almost empty highway , no red signals ,1st target was to get the fuel for the car , after roaming in & around Thane /Mulund , we finally got the car tank filled @ Bhandup LBS Rd.
We straight away drove to Bandra , then Juhu in search for Tea/ Ice cream parlor , Only those steel container tea wallas were there around taxi stands .Bombay western suburban area is more Bombayish then Central  ,as seen, many  people/groups/families were seen on the roads , outside hotels/discs/bars etc.
Finally we went to the Domestic airport & had Tea/chocolate/Smaosa’s at the food Kiosks in front of the Airport departure gates , almost empty internal roads , only few airport staff & airhostesses were seen  ,special tea prepared by mallu guy was real tasty , it was slightly cold outside ( 3 AM) which enhanced the taste , finally we returned  home at 4 AM.
It was fantastic , crazy experience & we are overjoyed with our impromptu wee hr tea & Samosa’s.
