Maggi Saves The Day. Again!

 

Maggie’s got the chills:

 

All was not well at 24/3, Worli Seaface Road, on that hot and steaming Sunday morning when the family woke up to a sniffing Maggie. Evidently, all was not how it was meant to be.

Mummy was crying. My baby’s got COVID! Hey Bhagwan raksha karo! Daddy declared, “No going for a swim at the club.”  Bro protested and angrily got up and spilt Maggie’s hot cup of MAGGI “soup”.

The whole family was quiet for a while, and then Maggie realized what she thought had happened had actually happened (Dear, dear!)

And then rose the most heart-wrenching wail that touched the Gods in Heaven and back to Earth (Oh dear!)

… and the tears and her sniffing, would have given the rain clouds a run for their money, if that were possible. (There, there)

Mummy picked her up and scolded bro, no Maggie? Bad boy! (Blink, blink)

…And then bro started crying. (Make that a double tsk, tsk)

Daddy was having fun. He asked his crying son to stand at an angle. Wah, what a dance between light and shadow, all of which was recorded and uploaded on YouTube (dear, dear)

And bro started bawling even more. (Oh, what can I say? Dear, dear!)

Maggie was somewhat mollified especially when Mommy brought some more soup, this time some for bro and some for Maggie.

Mommy was relieved. Maggie had a good appetite…

…no cough

…or loss of taste.

 And fever? None of that, either.

 It must be a change of weather.

 Whatever it was, Maggie and bro were unmindful as they dug into the hot bowls of Nestle’s MAGGI Noodles, their once-a-week favorite breakfast

Phew! What a way to begin your day!

All was back to normal after a tear-jerking episode on a sunny Sunday morning at the Gupta’s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FRIDAY: Writers’ Special

All was not well in 24/3, Worli Seaface Road, on that hot and steaming Sunday morning when the family woke up to a sniffing Maggie. Evidently, all was not how it was meant to be. (Dear, dear!)

Mummy was crying. If only had they not gone to the club last night, this would never have happened.

 

(Gasp!)

 

Maggie was down with COVID?  You don't say? 

What do you think had happened and what now?

 

Write what you thought happened and post it to:

Khel-Khel Mein, MAGGI

It’s a hot and sunny Sunday.  Didi has come to visit her two young cousins in an uptown Worli Seaface high-rise building. There’s still time for breakfast. So, daddy decides to have some fun with his camera.

Didi is playing with Maggie with… guess what? Nestle’s MAGGI Noodles! Surprise, surprise!

Didi says to Maggie, “Look, I have two packets of MAGGI!”

She shows it to her and then puts them behind her. Then she shows her hands. Maggie, not quite understanding what was happening, stops gurgling. Didi has all her attention. (Oh, no!)

Then didi pulls out a MAGGI from behind and says, ” tada…!”

Maggie is delighted. She gurgles happily.

Then didi puts her hand behind leaving both the packets and says, “Where’s your MAGGI?”

Maggie is now confused and she makes teary sounds. This game is not funny! (There, there)

Bro comes running and takes away both the packets and runs out.

Now the floodgates open wide and tears fall that would put the Niagara Falls to shame, all of which 

and much else is recorded and uploaded on YouTube! (Dear me!)

Daddy and mummy are laughing, Maggie fails to understand why. (Oh, dear!)

 They tell didi to fetch big bro.

Didi runs after bro and gets the packets back.

She gives it to Maggie and Maggie bites the packet with her toothless gums as tears make merry with mucus. (Tsk, tsk)

Ma lifts her and kisses her and takes her to the kitchen. She shows a shelf which is right at the top and tells her, her MAGGI is safe from naughty big bro. (Clap, clap)

Maggie is content and gurgling, and all is well in the Gupta family, strangely because of big bro and Nestle’s Atta  MAGGI Noodles! 

MAGGI does it again! Kudos to big bro and MAGGI! (Wink, wink)

Where's My MAGGI?

Where’s My MAGGI?

It’s a hot and sunny Sunday morning. Daddy and bro are already at the breakfast table waiting for some hot Nestle’s MAGGI Atta Noodles.

Ma is in the kitchen. She reaches out for the air-tight container that has the noodles packets. She reaches out and finds only three packets when she had been certain there were four. What to do? (Oh, dear!)

Ma decides to make it anyway. (Help!)

The two ‘men’ of the house are impatient for the food. They start beating the forks on the plate making a lot of sound.

Maggie thinks it’s a game and starts laughing. She climbs up the chair onto the table and also adds to the din. (Hee haw)

“Yes, yes, it’s ready. Just two minutes,” says Ma from the kitchen.

Bro starts singing the jingle: “Mummy, bhookh lagi hai”

Maggie is enjoying playing the drums to the song.

Ma arrives with the bowls. But what’s this? Only three bowls?

Where’s my bowl, cries Maggie, feeling totally cheated. (Oh, dear!)

And then the brave heart wails in the most heart-wrenching manner. (Dear, dear) And precious tears fall on her dress. Nobody loves me, not even Ma and the poor heart cries like there is no tomorrow. (Oh, dear!)

There is silence in the house. Daddy is amused. What’s funny about a child crying, Maggie seems to be thinking as her wailing rises to another notch, all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Oh, dear!)

Then Ma brings Maggie’s bowl and daddy puts some of his noodles into the bowl.

Maggie’s joy knows no end. Bro also gives some of his and Ma some of hers.

Peace is restored in the Gupta family, as Ma mashes the Noodles and feeds Maggie.

Nestle's Maggi averts another tragedy from happening in the Gupta family.

MAGGI is good but not without a loving family to share it with.

Maggie loves Nestle’s MAGGI , and her family is the best.

How about you and yours? (Wink, wink)

Meetthi Maggi Tastes Ew Or New?

A video on YouTube went viral where Maggi was made into a sweet dish. It had received many negative comments, “Ew,” being a common thread. (Gasp!)

Mummy is unfazed and announces Meethi Maggi as a dessert after breakfast. Everybody protests, so she decides to try it on Maggie. (Oops!)

Mummy serves the family Maggi Atta Noodles. Maggie quickly climbs up her chair and looks at her plate. Others are eating with gusto while mummy with false bravado gives something white with liquid to Maggie.

This is not Maggi! Where’s my Maggi Noodles, she protests loudly. (Tsk, tsk)

Maggie’s mouth puckers as she lets out a loud howl, as if her whole world has come crashing down. (Oh, dear!)

With every bite, her howl gets louder with stronger protests (Make that a double tsk, tsk)

Crying at the unfairness of it all, she gets off her chair. (Dear, dear)

Ma tries to get her to eat but her protests reach higher decibels. (Egad!)

Mummy quickly lifts her now furiously kicking baby and forces a spoonful of mashed noodles.

Baby Maggie stops crying and gurgles with delight and opens her mouth for some more.

The family is relieved and happy. All’s well in Maggie’s camp...

...at least till the next experiment, that is...

(Wink, wink)
