i dont think malayali built the box. it looks like an exhibition or something. i think i am sure now, after looking at the picture again, that there's no box. it is just a structure that is made to look like a box at a certain angle. perhaps malayali had to stand at a designated spot in order to get that effect in the picture.

DING DING DING; you hit the nail right here. It is an exhibition & there is no box at all. It is just an open structure that from an angle looks like my son is standing is inside a box. Optical illusion.

& No, I didn't change anything in the picture or the structure. We had gone to Children's Museum here in Dallas & this was just one of the pieces they created optical illusion(s). Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera with me!!!! Darn.

Chocolates will make you feel happy because they affect the neurotransmital network in your brain. But the devil is to take in the cocoa ingredient in chocolates without the other ingredients like sugar, etc. If you eat very dark chocolates which contain a higher percentage of cocoa they will be bitter. Very tasty chocolates have more sugar and much less cocoa.
If you can handle very dark chocolates then why not go all the way and use cocoa instead? Pure cocoa with water is the ultimate, but it will be a bit bitter. Or you can add non-fat milk and aspartame but milk will slightly decrease the absorption of the full goodness of cocoa. BTW, cocoa will improve your cardiovascular fitness. For the serious badminton player, I highly recommend cocoa drink with no milk or sugar (the night before) and slowly dissolving two papain/bromelain tablets in between your cheek and gum before the game.

I like dark chocs too. I just like anything chocolate

Well.. if people like black coffee and beer/stout so much... I don't see why they can't handle the bitterness of cocoa

And it's so much healthier.

..it rained yesterday...and took this pic as i was strolling by a city near my work place..well, seen many rainbows before, but picture doesn't do justice as i was standing there in awe staring at this rainbow in front of my eyes..
Btw, notice there's another rainbow sort of appearing at the top...

*pardon the stitch mark as i didn't think abt taking them in a panoramic mode..
