Because Chocolate loves YOU!

Chocolates chocolates chocolates! Who doesn't love them. We all do! Be it the 'Silky Dairy Milk' or the 'Hershey's Kisses', we just love them all! What makes them even more special is that they come in different textures and shapes & sizes :p

The love for chocolates starts right from when you are born. Well, not literally, but yeah! Remember the bribe for finishing your full meal as a kid? Yes it was chocolate!!

One More Chocolate puhlease.....

Because Chocolate is ecstasy:

No matter how many years pass, your love for chocolate never fades. Chocolate just gives you a pleasant high(Not the AXE effect High),but a mild feeling which is often as good as the feeling of being in love. Just pop it into your mouth and let it melt away... Ummmm.. Dramatic high eh? Only chocolate lovers will understand this feeling of ecstasy smile emoticon

Because Women and Chocolate are inseparable:

Women crave for chocolates. Be it any occasion, the first gift that comes to mind for a gift to a woman is a chocolate. No matter what the occasion is - a birthday, valentine day or the 'Say a Sorry' day, a chocolate is the simplest, yet choicest gift that can be given to a woman

Because chocolate is good for health:

According to a study,chocolate is lately being referred to as a health food because of the amount of antioxidants it contains. It also contains minerals like potassium & magnesium, Vitamins including B1,B2 and flavonoids. Due to its health benefits, dark chocolate is suggested to be included into daily diet by doctors.

Because Chocolate keeps you calm:

Chocolates releases endorphin and phenylethylamine, which affect our mood the same way as romance does. Chocolate also releases serotonin, which is a antidepressant hormone. Hence adding to our minds feeling calm and emotionally stable when we indulge in some chocolate craving.

Because Chocolate protects your skin:

Dark chocolate has antioxidants which protect your skin from UV rays. It also acts as a skin-detoxifier and removes dead skin cells when consumed. You can also opt for a chocolate facial to keep your skin soft and supple & to add to the glow on your face.

Because Chocolate understands:

When no one seems to understand you, or you just feel like being by yourself, grab a cup of hot chocolate, sit in a serene place and talk to yourself(think out aloud)- It helps. Be it those PMS mood swings for women, or those hypertension mood swings for men, chocolate is the answer to all your mood swings.

Because anything is good, if it is made of chocolate:

What makes chocolate stand out is the fact that it can be had in any form. You can either indulge in a milk chocolate or the dark chocolate, or blend it in with other foods- Cookies made of chocolate, chocolate fudge, chocolate shake, chocolate icecream & chocolate cakes. Mouth watering? Yeah! If this wasn't enough we have our Nutella & chocolate sauce for the rest. Put these on your pancakes & breads & dosas & buns, and  there you go- Yummy Non resistant food!!

Chocolate is the world's perfect food, if I am allowed to say so. It not only tickles your taste buds, but adds to your health benefits. And as Dave Barry rightly stated, "Your hand and your mouth agreed many years ago that as far as a chocolate is concerned, there is no need to involve your brain."
We all know that chocolate is irresistible, and after reading the above, Do you still need a reason to resist it?

For the love of chocolates,

In love with Mr.Maybe

How often do you fall in love? The answer is ‘Just once’ for 50% of youngsters, until they get dumped, or decide to dump their partner. The other 50% include those happily in love couples who go to an extent to do anything & everything for each other, and those who think their partner is doing everything that they can for them. The latter fall into the category of dating Mr/Ms. Maybe’s.

Let’s just talk about Mr. Maybe’s today. So there is this guy (lets name him Mr.Maybe) who is sweet, charming, smart and ambitious. He does everything possible for you to make you fall in love with him, & you do. And in the course of your relationship you realize you are missing something, something big, something small, & he is not what you have wanted to have. But then you decide to convince yourself that he loves you and that he is doing his best to keep you. You keep giving yourself excuses time and again, until there comes a point where you can’t take any more of it & lo! You finally decide to let go of your Mr. Maybe.

Let’s check why we’ve named him Mr. Maybe.

• You fall sick & you tell him about it, & ‘Maybe’ he is too busy with something so important that he forgets to ask you about your health.
• ‘Maybe’ he is too busy at work & forgets to call you back.
• He ‘Maybe’ listening to you when you talk about a personal issue & it just got erased off his memory when you tried to recall.
• ‘Maybe’ you talk too much & it’s difficult for him to remember.
• ‘Maybe’ he is getting laid off at work & he is just too stressed to make an effort.
• ‘Maybe’ he is bad at remembering dates & hence forgot your birthday.
• ‘Maybe’ he is attending your friend’s marriage with you & his vehicle breaks down the same morning.
• ‘Maybe’ he really cares for you & is bad at showing it.
• ‘Maybe’ you support his dreams and ambitions & he thinks yours are not worth a thought.
• ‘Maybe’ he doesn’t know how to love you the way you do.
• ‘Maybe’ his work life is so busy that he can’t find time to text you.
• ‘Maybe’ he dint really like your status or profile picture & hence dint react.
• ‘Maybe’ he has his family on his social networking sites & hence decides to keep his status as single.
• ‘Maybe’ the girl that he talks to everyday is just a friend.
• ‘Maybe’ he is busy over the weekend with his friends & family.
• ‘Maybe’ he dint want to let go off your hand because people were watching.
• ‘Maybe’ he loves you & not your money.
• ‘Maybe’ he really needs you but he is not ready to be emotionally available.
•  ‘Maybe’ he is being busy with something & not really cheating on you.
• ‘Maybe’ he is focused on his career & doesn’t want this relationship of yours to distract him.
• ‘Maybe’ he needs space & hence goes without talking to you for an entire day.
• ‘Maybe’ he wants to introduce you to his family but he is not finding the right time to.
• ‘Maybe’ he wants you to buy that dress you like for your birthday but he doesn’t have money to.
• ‘Maybe’ he is doing everything for you & you think you deserve better.

Ah! The list of maybe’s can go on forever. But these are just a few examples that we can all relate to. A reason to why people say ‘love is blind’ is when they see people settling down for these ‘maybe’s’ when they deserve much better. Maybe women should stop lying to themselves.

Why opt for a Mr. Maybe when we can find a guy much better who does not come with the baggage of these Maybe’s - someone who really has time for us, someone who knows to show his love, someone who makes us a priority, someone who can confess to the world that he has a girl, someone who would be loyal to us, someone who wants to spend the rest of his life with us and most importantly, someone who really LOVES us.

I would say care until you no longer can and then move on. Mature men know how to manage their time, and make time for the people in their lives. They know how to balance work and life. If you feel that he is making more excuses than reasons to spend time with you, then move on. I know it is difficult but it will save you from a lot of heartache. So go talk to him, & tell him that ‘maybe’ you guys should just move on!
