MK's post on chocolates triggered me to write this after a long hibernation.Many of my fond memories are associated with chocolates- especially 5-star.
Growing, up , 5-star was my favorite- it still is. If I got to distribute 5-star ( instead of those measly rs.1 eclairs), I was in heaven.
1) I remember Rajathi akka ( our house keeper) buying me 5-star form spare change every time she went to the store.
2) My V thatha used to buy me a 5-star every time he visited us- I was clearly his favorite ;)
3) Sr. Martha( almost a surrogate grandmother to me- a very nice nun/ nurse in my father's hospital) used to buy me a 5 star every year for my birthday.Is it ironic that she passed away on my bday too?
4)Any childhood bet- I would always ask for a 5 star
5) I saved up about Rs.2000 and gave it to Rajathi akka when I left home for college. This year when I went home, she still had it and wanted to buy 5-star(s) with it for me :(.
6)HD ( when we were still just friends) used to give me a 5 star every day when we were in college. This was in the pretext of "same same sweet"- that silly game where you wear the same color clothes, you are supposed to give the other person a sweet. Sometimes, I would claim that we both had black hair and ask for a 5 star :P. One day, I remember the canteen ran out of 5 star, the HD actually walked all the way to the main road ( must have been at least a mile) to get my daily dose.
7) My parents- when I got married- gave me a box of 100 5-stars when I left for the US. Loved and cherished eating them one at a time..
8)My Mil got me a box with 100 5 stars when she came to visit us for the first time.So sweet :( :(
9) The only person I have shared my 5-star with is Aghoo :)
