A tribute to Maggi!!

I sometimes wonder what most bachelors and students at large would have done had there been no invention of a particular kind of food-yes the Maggi noodles....Ever wondered how difficulat it would have been.Even the thought of it being non existant or extinct makes me creepy as for decades now it has been the staple diet of thousands who stay away from home or those who have not put their culinary skills at test....

I remember as a child it was not a routine thing to have maggi and it was only in weekends that I got myself treated to a platefull lovingly served by my sister...Some half literate aunty even put it into my mother that too much of maggi is bad for the brain...I dont know where did she come up with this theory from...I still cant forget the chicken flavoured one which is rarely available in Delhi thanks to the domination by vegeterian diaspora. Again as a kid when you want the liberty to enter the kitchen and try something on your own I am sure many would agree that the maggi was their first tryst with cooking partly because it required nothing but two cups full of water to be boiled and everything thrown into it....

From those days to the days when we drifted from the safe heavens of home to distant lands in pursuit of better education it was always the maggi noodles that was a constant companion anytime anywhere to feed the hungry souls who missed the home cooked food by mom more than anything else.The long nights when hunger cramps came suddenly in between studies or coming back form the college hungry and tired it was always the faithfull maggi that healed the nerves and soothed the stomach flat in 5 minutes unlike the commercial which boasts of 2 minutes.For a fact it takes more than 2 minutes to prepare.

From days as a kid to the days as a student and now that we are professionals slogging day in and day out only one thing remained constant-the relationship with maggi...Its been faithfull all these years just like a wife and I dont know how many years more to come but whenever it was called for duty it never failed to deliver.Always there to kill those insatiable desire to munch sumthing and that too in quick time...Maggi my friend you rock and for me you are immortal!!!!
