Kuch Mitha ho Jaye! : An Ode to the Cadbury

Kiss me... Close your eyes, miss me... And you end up your thoughts in the world of Cadbury, right? The purple wrapper with a chocolatey cover. Aha! The worldwide crush. Have you ever thought about where this Cadbury chocolate came from? It all started as a beverage in the 1820s and it's continuing as a chocolate bar. Well, all thanks to John Cadbury! 😋
Since childhood, I have had 'the Cadbury cravings'. When everything around seemed simple to the rest of the world, the world of kids was something different. Beyond all fun, a school bag loaded with books and copies, sitting straight in all eight long periods, homecoming with a bunch of homework was not easy. The day used to end up with a dream of Dairy Milk..... "Kitna maza aye re.... Duniya Dairy Milk ki Bann jaye...! " 
Earth revolves around the sun for 365 days 6 hours and 9 minutes ✖ 13 and then homo sapiens enter into the most confusing period of their life till they turn 19 or 20 or sometimes even 21. It all starts with love at first sight- collecting chocolate wrappers; continues with break-ups- throwing the wrappers and patch-ups- again time for some Cadbury chocolates; friends- birthday gifts and Cadbury; career-building tensions- calming down with Cadbury, and ends up with all decision-making maturity at least to some extent- no time for Cadbury.
Every wave eventually settles. Beyond the period of adolescence life demands settlement else ends up with anxiety or depression. The importance of chocolate cannot go unnoticed and then Cadbury plays its role. From subh arambh... Kuch Mitha ho Jaye to munching on Cadbury to avoid any mental disbalance life goes on.
Note: Chocolate helps in calming anxiety and depression but anything excessive is actually harmful. Try sharing chocolates with everyone irrespective of their age.  It brings happiness.😀
P.S: Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk is my favorite.😍

    Beautiful. Delicious. Crispy. Chocolaty.. It almost sums up the entire childhood of us. Oh how beautifully you have expressed the whole 13/14 years in a nutshell. Or should I say, in "shots"! Beautifully written, well explained, and those examples and adjectives were just like the almonds or cashew in the silk! Keep it up! Waiting for more delicious items to be served!!!

A Ray of Hope

Sometimes Life is harsh. Career, family, relationships.... whatnot? So many eyes with sparkling hopes staring at you! Far before you realise it, you are already surrounded by the constant pressure to improve in every field. Hence ' Hopelessness ' is inevitable, giving you nightmares. It was 5:30 in the morning when I woke up having such a nightmare. What else could be a better refreshment than nature? After reaching the top of the hill, almost gasping, crossing the narrow stony lanes across the woods, when I looked up at the sky so high, I realised nothing could be more beautiful than Life itself. And you know what keeps you alive? ' A ray of Hope '.

A Great Fall of 23.9%

Figures above 50,000 look good in salary. But what if it's a contagious flame of a pandemic? India is witnessing a hike of more than 90,000 COVID positive cases each day. Amidst this situation, students are driven by the career forces to appear in the JEE  and NEET exam where social distancing is merely visible. Meanwhile, data released by the government confirmed that India is confronting a GDP contraction by 23.9% for the first quarter of 2020, i.e., for the April - June period. Though the steepest decline in annual GDP of India was recorded during 1979-80, this marked the worst incident of negative quarterly GDP growth in India since 1996 (quarterly GDP was recorded for the first time in 1996).   Although China recorded positive growth, major economies are facing a downfall in the quarterly GDP as compared to 2019.
