Mmmmm... Chocolate!

3.50 am
What in the world am I doing up and blogging at
3.50 am??? I don’t know, myself. I woke up at 2 and haven’t been able to go back to sleep... What do I blog about? I don’t really know.
Most people have commented on my previous 'depressing' post about how I should be positive, and cheer up, and all that... Thank you, all. I never get to R. I am always stuck on 'Chee'.
That’s how I feel about myself and my life right now. So forgive me if my posts get a little depressing. It’s sometimes the most difficult thing to live with yourself. And having a blog is a catharsis and makes it less difficult to live with myself.
Anyway, what does one do when one is depressed?

Watching sitcoms and cheesy chick flicks, always gives you the impression that high cal ice cream is the best medicine for an emotional breakdown.


Oh! How wrong they are... Chocolate! Yummy, creamy chocolate! Its heaven. Not only is it heaven, it also doesn’t leave you feeling bad for having eaten too much.
My first chocolate – I really don’t remember what it was. But it must have been something really really good. In fact, every time, I eat chocolate and especially if I am low, I always feel like I am Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music. ‘Somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good …’
My favourite kind of chocolate varies from mood to mood. If I am doing something (like an assignment, watching TV or reading a book,) then I like to have biscuity wafer-ed chocolate. Like KitKat (which is my faaaaavourite), or Perk or Munch. Crackle is for those times that I am hungry and want to muse over the scrunchy nitty-gritties of life. Cadbury’s Dairy Milk is an energy booster, while Temptations is for an occasion.
Of course, chocs from abroad, loving bestowed by cousins, uncles, aunts and friends with loving cousins, aunts and uncles, come into a whole different category, of which my favourites are Hershey’s almond bars, and Hershey’s kisses. As for Snickers and Mars – They are nice, but I don’t see what all the hype is about!
But I somehow like Desi chocolate just as much as foreign chocolate if not more.
Coming to types of chocolate, Milk chocolate is first. Bitter/dark chocolate comes next (cooking chocolate is usually the bitterest of them all, and once you get started on that, you’re hooked for life.) but not everyone likes bitter chocolate. White chocolate... I don’t know if it is chocolate if it is white! It’s not great, but I’d eat it anyways. One kind of chocolate I cannot bring myself to enjoy - Chocolate with coconut. I know everyone thinks its great and heavenly an all that. But I cant stand it.
But, with all the brands, types and preferences, there is one brand/type of chocolate I would like to worship. That is FERRO ROCHE. It is the greatest, most unbelievably addictive form of chocolate.

Damn! With all this talk of chocolate it’s extremely frustrating that it’s so early in the morning, and there is no stock of chocolate in my fridge.
All I could find was, one tiny Hershey’s Kiss.
So with that in my mouth, I will publish this post and say good night. I will try to wake up by 7. College is at 8, today…

You should try Ghirardelli some time. I love their dark chocolate a lot. Mainly for the bitterness.
