Childhood Fantasy
I was pestering hubby dear to read me a bed time story over the weekend(a ritual he has to keep up with atleast once in 15 days...I need my dose of bedtime stories)..and my mind just wandered to this trek in bangalore which I did sometime back where we were playing truth and dare in the group.I got the truth and was asked to say any one fantasy of mine and I blurted out.."Well its about having a chocolate house someday"...*silence*.....all boys laughed and told me thats a escapist answer to the question coz they expected something more "meatier"!...All girls had their faces lit up...*why didnt I think of this one look*.... Whatever!!!
I realised later on that its the absolute truth for me...I have fantasied about having a chocolate house one day right from the moment I read the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale...and hence this has been one of my favouritest fairy tale ever!
I still have 4 jigsaw puzzles which dad brought for me from abroad when I was three and it used to be my favourite toys coz one of the puzzles in that was Hansel and Gretel with the witch and a Yummmyyy chocolate house!
It amazed me when I realised that I have had this fantasy ever since I first heard this story and started visualising the chocolate house with candy bars , chocolate bed, taps, walls, utensils chairs..even commodes...heheh!!..so everytime I wanted to eat chocolate I didnt even have to go to the fridge I cld take break one part of the bed and eat!
Well someday I hope I do get a choclate house(even if its a miniature version)...Hint!! Hint!!..is the concerned person listening???
So do you have any such childhood fantasy that u still hold on to??:-)

Whoa! me first, again!! ;D
My childhood fantasy has been to fly a fighter plane !!.. I hear that its possible in Russia for around US $ 25000.. Someday I will do it..
Now my fantasy would be to have an entire island to myself.. something like Bora Bora.. With a few of my favourite people on it !!
Wink !
Thats a chuveet chocolaty post!! Well U might envy me if u knew that my mom worked for cadburys chocolates (& dad fr britannia biscuits!!) Maybe thts y as a kid I was never over fascinated to chocolates.
But alas! now that I live miles away from my mom (& she retired last yr!) my craving for sweets & chocolates has increased manyfold! Im a real sweet person, u know (pun intended!) & so I just cant resist the sweet things! ;)
And as regards my childhood fantasy...nothing so much like urs but as a child I've always felt that I was the Queen & that everything shd happen the way I want!!!
WOW! A chocolate house!!! This one has been added to my list of fantasies.. It wud be great to just lick off chocolate right from the walls day-in and day-out.. Im sure I'l grow into a pumpkin soon.. ;)
As a child I day-dreamed of being a butterfly.. Flutering from one flower to another and flirting with the wind..
:)
..Me
Hi,
As long as it doesnt melt around you , dear..ala the Indian prince's palace in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ;P
But seriously, it would be lovely...with milk, white and dark chocolate floors. What a sight to behold!
Ekta... nice fantasy ...
Well, to have that chocolate house intact and not melt, you will have to come and live in the himalayas... hehe... kidding,
Hansel and gretel was a lovely story... i have always hated step-mothers after this story... childhood impact....
Well, i had this funny fantasy to go and sit up in top of any hill.... so whenever i see a hill surrounding my place, i have this first idea to go on the top, sit there and come down... silly thought...
silly it may sound, but i always wanted to walk on water... something i watched in cartoons and those fairy tales... just walk, run, play on water.. never need of swimming!!!
Well, if you get that chocolate house, please lend me a chair.... (i hope it is made up of hazelnuts and dark bitter chocolate)... lol
Chocolate house.. hhmm, so it'll be chocolate for breakfast lunch and dinner..
Childhood fantasy:- I always wanted to hv a date with Parveen Babi, i had a huge crush since i was 4 yrs old. Infact when i was ard 7 yrs i took her autograph on a small postcard i bought near my school while she was shooting nearby,I still look for similarity in every girl i see...lol
My thing was I wanted to be a train driver. lol go figure...
There is Marathi song for kids I believe that goes "Asaawa Sundar Choclate cha Bangala"
meaning " Wish there was a bungalow made of chocolate"
the moment i read a chocolate house....Hansel & Gretel came to my mind......yum-ho....
I think my childhood fantasy was to be a mid wife!Sounds weird huh? Our neighbour in Germany was one and it seemed like such a glamorous job when I was 6 years old :)
I can just die for chocolate.....
always wanted to be as powerful and as handsome ;) as heman..the fantasy still lingers though...not referring about the "handsome" part ;)
hey, the hansal & gretel lady must be the first diabetic person in the world right..imagine living in a house made of chocolates....well i guess a wikipedia search would solve the mystery :)
Couple of them. I always wanted to fly...damn spectacles :-(
And i always wanted to entertain people...the joy on their face when they are with me was my Bonus, Salary, Increment...everything. Someday...i want to make it happen :-)
heyy...thts a bery chweet fantasy u got there :)
Whn i was a kid, had this fantasy of being invisible...a kinda superhero sorts...was highly influenced by "Mr india" i guess...heehee
even had a toy watch wch i used to put on n believe i wudent be seen ...n my parents used to play along ...lol!!! they almost got me believin tht they couldent see me until i broke a vase...heehee
n thn the bubble burst :(
Dear Ekta,
First of all, very cute, your partner reading a bedtime story to you...
My childhood "wow" moment was waiting with the shoemaker and his wives and watching the elves make the shoes.
Then I think I would like to be your nighbour..coz then I get to steal chocolates from your chocolate house...or instead the whole chocolate house itself :P

gullivers travel - the ispiration
hi, ekta! ^_^ this post made me crave for sweets! hehe... anyway, like many girls, i still wish for my prince charming to find me today. (eeew! that sounded so snow white! hehehe.)
if you have a chocolate house...please don't invite me. then i'll eat your house.
hansel and gretel house is truly a fantasy. hahahaha..i think the lesson is...if it's TOO GOOD to be true then you better be careful. you're into milk chocolates or dark?
Chocolate house ..thats interesting .I wanted the one covered with all those different candy.always made me want to take it off the picture. My fantasy has always been to go up in space and look down at the earth. Its not going to happen in my life time.But I can still fantasize.
Chocolate house. Chocolate. Chocolate. Mmmmm.
Sorry, just can't move on beyond the "chocolate" there..
:-)
A chocolate house.. hmmmmmmmmm love it. Nothing so spl of childhood fantasy coz my parents did what they want. But as a teenager I always felt to become a pilot which never happened.
hmmmmmmmm, childhood fantasy, eh? well, the only one i can think of was being swept away by a knight in shiny armour on horseback and living happily ever after... *sigh*
maybe i shoulda went for the chocolate house instead, ya think!?! {grin}
Hmmm... freezer hmmm...
well, i hope the freezer if big enough for me to sneak in.... ;) hehe...
i will wear some heat-insulation clothes...
Well, i hope you will remember about the chair thing...
**thinking**.... you didnot say anything about lending me the chair... hmmm... so i smell some disagreement?? ***SOB*** ***SOB***... whaaah whaaah!!!
Pritz- exactly my kinda house too and I agree...If i do get such a house..I'll be homeless soon coz I'll be the first one to eat it up...haha!
southpaw:- hey haha..looks like u still have a pravin babi hangover!
Keshi:- hey fairies and lil angels...wow that sounds like an amazing fantasy too...imagine u walk into thr garden and look up and see little pretty fairies and angels flying ard...hmmmm!!
Known:- hahah..guess we all cld fantasize abt that...becoming the king/queen one day...not having to do anything and yet having everything we cld ever need...ahah!
ACEY:- AWWWW...thats so sweet...dont worry sweetheart ur prince charming will find u someday soon!..just a matter of time!
Elaine:- hahah...dont worry the house will be eaten up by me before ui even know it and hey am the milk choc one..no dark chocs for me..theyr'r bitter...whats the point of eating chocs if theyr bitter!
Gaurav:- Hey gaurav welcome to the blog and ur absolutely right...assuming its a big enugh house...a max a week...coz after that I'll be too fat anywzyz to even enter into it!
Starry:- awww..well u seem to love the sky...ur name suggests that too..but well hold on to ur fantasy...u never know when it just might turn true!
Perspective:- hehehe....me too..we get stuck on chocolates!
Priya:- hey wow...guess u love the skies too..well if not a pilot atleast u can take frquent flights to places...that way u'll atleast be flying often too!:-)
Karen:- haha..hey yes thats probably the childhood fantasy of every girl...and dont worry we all get our knight in shining armour some day!
Eclipsed:- hey dear...of course u can take the chair..I'll keep one spare, untouched one specially for u..and even decorate it with candies..!:-)
Ekta, that's a cute fantasy. I used to like chocolate so much that I could eat it all day. But now somehow I have lost interest.
My fantasy has been to be a archealogist. It all started when I got my first National Geographic book at the age of 9. Am still fascinated by Egypt, Greece and other such places.
... cutee Ekta like for always ^_^ u know what i can imagine how u look everytime u wrote like this post and yeah all of ur post , the way u give funny words in between ^_^ u made me even remember how i read that "Hansel and Gretel" how kathy rolls her eyes too imagining the chocolate house hehe...yummy lol! dun make ur house on summer, ill dive on that haha ^_^ crazy me!! Rina loves that story too but she will ask sometimes how she will sit there not getting choco stain on her dress that will make me angry lol! she thinks of that too even in story hehe...scared of Mom ^_^
... ** was pestering hubby dear to read me a bed time story over the weekend(a ritual he has to keep up with atleast once in 15 days. **
... choooo chweeeett, i envy u ^_^ but isnt Anand get asleep before the story finished ?? hehe...
...have a great week ahead!
cheers,
-kathy-
HA! :) really cute post :)
Hmmmmm , for me, id like to keep a Cat, A Dog in my house. (Mama doesn't let me have any animal in the house ) *sobs*.
Apart from that, a very weird fantasy would be ,- to choose my carrier-between Gynacology or Psychology :\ .
*cries again*.
thanks for the visit :)
well.. my childhood fantasy kinda weird, just like ur chocolate hse. i wanted a bed which floats above the room floor. wanna feel weightless
guess it was a child's imagination of the OUTER SPACE :)
=ammu=
my childhood fantasy? hm, to have my daddy come back to life and tell me I'm his pretty little girl again, well guess it wnt happen, at least not on this side of eternity, but I still dream...
There used to be Hansel and Gretel TV series when I was was young. My sister and I used to fantasise how we'll have our own Chocolate house in the middle of Chennai city. My other childhood fantasy was to have a Robot (Giant Robot) of my own.
Really a cute post :-)
My childhood fantasy was to go high up in the sky with my Mom....and experience how it feels like to be at different planets :-)
Wait a minute...I can't get past the fact that your hubby reads you bedtime stories! Wow, how incredibly cute is that...what a great tradition. Here's to hoping that never ends....
my childhood fantasy is to have someone read to me in bed :)
*has the why-didn't-think-of-it look on her face!*:)

Nida:- hey ur an animal lover...than I can imagine how u must want to have a pet...am not too much into animals and wldnt even dream of a pet....coz half the time Id be too scared of the dog!...and hey dont worry abt the career choice...when the time is right the decisions will automatically get made!

I always wanted my dad to start a chocolate factory...in time I started hoping that I will marry a guy who owns a chocolate factory... all chocolate related! ;)
yes wanna see that some day for real :):)
Keshi.
Mumbai:- Well the concerned person is my hubby and he better start paying!
Gemini:-haha..good idea...I think u shld still hold onto the "chocolate factory owner thing"!;-)
Keshi:- Well keshi dear...close your eyes tight and wish hard...keep finegrs crossed..u may just end up fulfilling your fantasy!

Oh wow...so cute..chocolate house??!!
My childhood fantasy.....don't remember but man this is so damn cute!!

hi there!
luks i am late comer here ... u already up with another post of pictures of SINGAPURA!
EKTA, WHen i was just married i remember we lived in a rented house near Cadbury company in THANE...
Though that house had many problems, like no proper wiring done, the buidling was not well maintained... so on and so forth...
but at five in the morning we could smell chocolate in the air, and again it repeated at twelve and then late evening.....
that smell still lingers in my mind and in my senses.....
the house was not at all good but my hubby knew i loved chocolate!
that was a clever move on his part..... which i till date appreciate...*winks*
hey there is a marathi song too in which chidren sing of living in a chocolate house.. n eating it too.. lol
i cant think of mine rt now.. if i remember will tell
btw, pics got blocked so will see the pics in above post frm home
*sniff*
nice post. childhood fantasies never leave our mind and that's what keep the child in us alive. i too have a childhood fantasy, to wear such a shoe as cindrella's.
Eclipsed- haha grt...see how easy it us to make people behave themselves!:-)Chocolate can do wonders!
Known:- :-)
Varsha:- awww..thx so much..and yeah he reads me bedtime stories when I start throwing tantrums
Passerby:- oooh this is soo cute and amazing..i wld have gone crazy and wld have gone running to the factory every morning if I was staying there! But ur hubby does know his woman!
Sudeep:- hey which marathi song..do tell me if u remember!
Priyankari:- hey welcome to the blog and thats practically every girls fantasy..to have a fairy change u and then u go to the ball and meet ur prince charming and wear those lovely shoes..wow!
My childhood fantasy is a dollhouse, with everything PERFECTLY done in miniature. Tiny carpets, tiny paintings, tiny vases, tiny lamps that work..
If I ever build one of those, you can be sure I'll never let me future kids play with it!
:) When I was a kid, I always use to vow to myself that some day I shall have all the money to buy all the comics books I want.
When started my career, I seem to somehow forgot the same, then one fine day during my first visit to US, I discovered what all I am missing in life. There an' then I shipped a full pack weighing around 5 Kgs of comics to my collegue who once shared the same dream.
Later when I returned and we had a chat, he told me how happy he was to receive all those comics in office. He was simply elated.
Today, I had too many comics, or say too many books in my own modest library...
Reading those comics...while watching TV, having Sandwich and Chai on the bed ...is beyond any pleasure...
