All for Nothing
Wed, 2006-04-05 06:11 — ananthp
Its there at the bedside from quite sometime. Quite a few days I should say. I brought it from kitchen the other day but did not eat it. I am talking about a bar of Five-Star chocolate by the way. There are many such bars in kitchen. Roomie keeps it there as he would like to use it during treks. When I felt hungry I grabbed one and brought it to bedroom so that I can have it while reading something. For reasons I don’t remember I did not eat it then. Yesterday when I was not feeling sleepy and I was not feeling like reading anything, my eyes fell on it. I promptly took it and started at it for sometime. If I remember properly a small bar used to cost Rs.5 when we were kids and five-star was considered to be one of the costly chocolates in the era where there were not much of bar chocolates. In fact people used to bet for a five star knowing fully well its very difficult to afford one. School kids gave toffees for others for their birth days but gave a five star to teacher. That was then.
Rs.10 was written clearly on the bar. I had a hard look again but somehow I did not feel like opening the cover. Strangely I thought I could not finish the whole chocolate and keeping half did not appeal to me. What is that I did not like about the chocolate? Is it the taste? Did I not feel hungry? After all it was a small bar of chocolate. No, I don’t know. I just did not feel like opening it. I kept it back but looked at it again after few minutes. This time I looked at its expiry date? Did I need a reason not to eat that? May be!! It was well within its expiry. Finding no reason to deny the bar its rightful place yet finding it difficult to eat it, I chose not to betray the feelings of the bar by placing it with an uninterested mind.
Its still there at the bed-side

First things First - I will repeat Prad’s comment with a small modification - “What kinda of comment is this man?” !!!
he is thinking everything in terms of u-know-what !! Leave the chocolate alone man, we need something to eat 
All I write about is a small chocolate and that too brown colored one ( not dark brown remember ) and you guys first turn that into a dark one and later into a woman who could be possibly a African American!
Aiyoo Aiyoo Aiyooo ! Shantham Papam ! maine socha tha atra shaadi ke baad sudar jaayega but it has turned worse
PS : Why just $50, I will give blank cheque book itself. Anyway its lying idle after I closed the a/c
pradzie's aversion to chocolate
pradzie dude,
Now, is it not true that chocolate is recommended as an aphorodisiac, and thus has sexual connotations? C’mon, don’t tell me I made that up! Don’t you read ANY Cosmopolitan? Whats this world coming to??
And obviously, you don’t want anantha to eat chocolate because you have a subliminal fear of the world running out of chocolate before you get your hands on some.
But, you missed my central point - I am, in fact, urging Anantha to eat all the chocolate he sees around him.
That would serve you right for advising anantha to hold back payment that is rightfully due to me.
Mark my words - one day Anantha will EAT the chocolate, and you will be left with…er…an empty wrapper in your hand, if you don’t go get some chocolate for yourself real fast.
Dr. sexena, Chocolate
Dr. sexena,
Chocolate while overrated as an aphrodisiac is only one of the many foods that induces excess serotonin (the brains feel good chemical) output. likewise, caffiene and sugary drinks do that too. Red Bull, for eg supplies excessive sugar to the body thus making the body feel energised. Choc has sufficient quantity of Carb which makes you feel energised, not neccesarily horny.
Now im only happy to see someone encouraging ananth to eat more chocolate not only for reasons you’ve divulged but also since choclate is good for health. Now too much of a good thing is bad too… whether i be left with a wrapper or not is a different discussion altogether, lets stay on track!

>> Alternative interpretation is that the subject is interested in paid sex from a dark-colored woman.
Fundoo analysis Dr. Atraa.. each & every word ekdum naap tol ke likkha hein.. If i had 50$ to spare, I would happily lie down on a coach next to you & get a detailed analysis of my persona(??) . I am quite convinced that you would be fair with me, just like u were with Anantha
IW
Thank you, thank you, IW. I wish there were more people like you in this world - I would never lack any money then.
Of course, you being a guy, you will have to lie down on a couch next to me. Pretty gals get to lie down in the same couch as me, and they get a discount, as well.
And maybe, just maybe, they get to have some chocolate too!
This is my plan to encourage more souls to be born as pretty girls - for the sake of women’s empowerment, of course.
A freudian analysis of the desire for chocolate
Pradzie,
Does Anantha have to explain everything to you? When will you grow up and learn to read between the lines?
Allow me to explain to you what anantha really means, by this seemingly innocuous blog, but which really belongs in the porn section.
Beginning of diagnosis –
The chocolate bar, of course, represents the subject’s object of sexual desire, which may be currently presumed to be a woman (however, there are other possibilities, since the subject has used the neutral gender in referring to the object of desire). Chocolate is obviously known as an aphrodisiac and the sexual connotation is quite unmistakable. By referring to the feelings of the chocolate the subject has clearly admitted that it is a person that he talks about.
This is obviously a text-book case of sexual repression.
The dark color of the bar indicates that he wishes to have carnal knowledge of a dark-colored woman, possibly an african american. (It may also refer to a hidden aspect of the subject’s sexuality). The referring to the bar as a “small” bar, indicates that the subject prefers petite women.
Subject’s reading of the price of the chocolate bar indicates that he is aware of the price he will have to pay for this. Alternative interpretation is that the subject is interested in paid sex from a dark-colored woman.
The price of the cholcolate may be interpreted as in a fall in moral stand in one’s own eyes, or price as a literal term (if he is considering paid sex). Subject loses his appetite upon reading the price. This indicates either his stingy nature, or the realization of the sin he shall commit for going in for paid sex.
Expiry date here indicates the expiry date of the girl in question - the subject is clever enough to cover up his own repression and comtemplates using the excuse of mortality as a way of avoiding a confrontation with his repressions that prevent him from just doing the girl.
However, the subject evades the responsibility of taking the decision on the matter, and obviously, still keeps the phone number of the girl by his bedside.
- End of diagnosis -
Note to subject -
That’ll be $50, and you are most welcome.
Warning Ananth
Please do not take 50 paise advise from unqualified disbarred wannabe shrinks on sexual matters, Look! he’s already turned you into a Chocolate nymph.
While the professed script might slide in and out of various topics ranging from economics of demand supply, sexual depravation and unworldly’ sins, he definitely wants to get you laid while all you did was bite a chocolate. Cmon, then all the 5 years olds should be 80 year old horny thaathas’
Ananth, i hope you’ll not refrain from eating chocolates after reading such comments.
Anantha, What kinda blog
Anantha,
What kinda blog is this man? Seriously, trying to trip us eh? Is there something between the lines that’s gone unnoticed here, coz i’ve got an abstract feeling on this one. More like an art movie vis-a-vis art man chocolate connection, man eats choc, then looks at it, then thinks, then takes another bite, puts it away and still looks at it?
“I chose not to betray the feelings of the bar by placing it with an uninterested mind.”
Since when did a chocolate bar start having feelings? Then it would’ve definitely screamed when you bit its head off….
