    ‘I’m buying this chocolate with the money I should be spending on clothes’: Nadia Khan 

     

    What does a girl do when she has to buy clothes but also loves expensive chocolates?

    Television host and actress Nadia Khan is facing this dilemma and like most of us, she is leaning more towards the culinary delight.

    During her appearance as a guest on Good Morning Show, Nadia Khan talked about her obsession with chocolate.
     
     
     
     
    The host asked, “A common woman is watching, sitting at home, and she doesn’t have much exposure. MashaAllah, your exposure has been from 13 to 23 years. Now, what will you tell her if she starts making small investments?”
     
     
    Nadia Khan said, “I think our girls are becoming very smart, so smart that imagine, a chocolate was launched in Dubai. It’s called Fix Chocolate, and it’s gone so viral and famous. It’s the one with almonds inside and comes in different flavors. My favorite is Kunafa and Pish, It’s such a delicious treat, only available in Dubai.” 
     
     
     
    “The story began with this woman who started making chocolate at home, she was good at it, but she thought, ‘everyone is making chocolate, what she can do differently’, so she added dessert inside the chocolate. There’s this tiny chocolate, and inside, there’s Kunafa dessert. You must have seen it; it’s gone viral. The chocolate expires in three days, so you have to keep it in the fridge and eat it within three days,” the Zun Mureed added.  
     
     
    “Look at our women, they’re so smart, they’re dealing with these things like pros, I don’t know where they’re getting these connections from, but every few weeks, consignments are arriving at the airport. Women are picking up these chocolates for 5000 and selling them for 8000. I buy them, and they’re being sold in black, I mean, I’ve already ordered four this month. All my clothing budget is going into chocolate.”
     
     
     Nadia is currently leading her show ‘Kya Drama Hai’ on Channel 24, where she reviews dramas.

  • 120-year-old chocolate found in poet’s personal belongings

    120-year-old chocolate found in poet’s personal belongings

    A 120-year-old box of chocolate has been found from the personal collection of the late poet and journalist A.B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson by the staff at the National Library of Australia (NLA).

    Conservators at the NLA unearthed the sweet treats in a souvenir chocolate tin that was given to soldiers by Queen Victoria during the Boer War.

    The discovery was made by the library staff while unpacking the contents of the poet who wrote Waltzing Matilda and The Man from Snowy River. The purpose of unpacking the box that has the poet’s papers was to digitize the contents and make them available online.

    According to the National Library of Australia (NLA), the souvenir tin was commissioned by Queen Victoria and sent to South Africa during the Boer War as a gift to troops serving on the front.

    It is believed that the poet had brought the chocolates from a soldier while serving as a war correspondent in South Africa for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age for nearly a year starting in October 1899 before returning to Australia.

    The NLA conservator told that there was quite an interesting smell when they were unpacked.

    Paterson’s papers were passed on by his family after his death in 1941. However, the poet never referenced the chocolate bar in his writing.
