MY CHOCOLATE FACTORY (MINUS CHARLIE)


Anisha Gulati
The Sweet Life

I was very little when I first saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I was not interested in the brats’ adventures, but was utterly fascinated by the Oompa Loompas, those adorable under-appreciated folks who had the best job in the world! I was always jealous of how they were lucky enough to make and eat all the chocolate in the world. While my friends wanted to grow up and become lawyers, doctors and other boring things, I wanted to grow up and become an Oompa Loompa.

After completing school, the first thing I did was to enroll in a chocolate making course, which led me to starting ‘The Sweet Life’. This way, I could pursue my interest and make money! 
When it’s chocolate making time start by playing my favorite music very loudly, oblivious to everyone around me. The sweet essence and luscious brown color make me fall in love with chocolates every single time.

The best part about chocolate making is that I can mould them according to my imagination. Be it Winnie the Pooh for little kids, double hearts for budding lovers, footballs for sports freaks or even a simple square. The colorful wrappers, the love chocolate baskets, the birthday trays, the teddy chairs, each and every material put into chocolate making and wrapping is special and unique.

People say that there comes a time when you get bored of what you are doing. But I disagree. I have been making chocolates for nearly two and a half years and I still love it. After all the hard work, the expression of delight on my customers’ faces is an ecstatic feeling. Those smiles make it all worthwhile and encourage me to delve deeper into the world of chocolates.
