Throw the Maggi, Throw.

Throw the Maggi, Throw. No? (Sigh!)


On a hot, sunny morning, Didi has come to play with Baby. Papa thinks it would be interesting to observe the goings-on.

Ma is feeding Baby. Baby doesn't want to eat. Ma distracts her by watching the birds and dogs strolling outside...

..to no avail. (Tsk, tsk)

Didi gives Baby a cup and tells Baby to throw it out the window. Baby throws it, much to everyone's delight....

...and Ma pops a teaspoon of food into Baby's mouth.

The maid runs down to fetch it. Baby claps her hands with delight. This is such fun!

Didi then gives Baby a glass. Baby is happy  and throws it too.

This seems to be a nice game. The maid runs down to fetch it again.

Then Didi gives Baby a Maggi Noodles packet and asks her to throw it. The Baby isn't amused. (Oh, dear!)

Baby's lips pucker up as she lets out a wail, (Dear, dear!)  all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube (Oh, dear!)

Everybody is in splits though Baby cannot understand why. (Uh-oh!)

Didi hugs Baby and gives Baby the packet to keep.

Baby gurgles with joy, tears mixing with mucus.

All is well, and yes, Maggi Noodles does it again! ( Muah!)

Baby, Barbie and Maggi




It's a hot and sunny Sunday. The ac is humming gently in the background.

Ma is making Maggi Noodles for breakfast. Baby takes out her Barbie Kitchen Set. She wants to make Maggi Noodles for Barbie and Ken.

Papa thinks this could be a fun topic to film. (Hee-haw!)

Baby voices her demand for some Noodles.

Ma says no, it's not ready yet.

But Baby protests loudly.

Ma, too, is firm. (Oh, dear!)

In the meantime, Baby's lips pucker up to let out a wail, all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Oh, dear!)

Ma relents and puts some water and Noodles on the wok.

Baby is happy, but what's this, the Noodles is not cooking! (Dear, dear!)

She lets out a wail all of which continues to be recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Tsk, tsk)

Finally, the noodles is ready and Ma gives Baby a kiss and her plate of Maggi Noodles.

Teary-eyed Baby eats her breakfast sharing Maggi Noodles with the starving Barbie and Ken.

All's well that ends well.

Until the next time,

Happy eating! (Sniff!)

Ma, it's my Maggi!



Ma, Please May I Have Some Maggi?


It's dinner-time one hot and sultry evening.  Ma decides to tease Baby. Papa is ready with the smartphone.

Ma carries Baby in her arms to the kitchen to warm the food.

She takes a spoonful of gravy and pretends to cool it to give it to Baby.

Baby opens her mouth gurgling in anticipation. She opens her mouth but Ma sips it clean. (Dear, dear!)

She adds some salt and tries again.

Baby salivates as she opens her mouth in anticipation again.

Ma ignores Baby again.  (Dear, dear!)

Baby's objection grows loud. (Oh, dear!)

And louder...(Dear me!)

And louder...(Tsk, tsk)

...all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Dear, dear!)

Ma starts laughing and Papa too. She hugs and kisses Baby and gives her a spoonful of gravy. Baby is happy and more so when Ma gives her a packet of unopened Maggi Noodles.

Did I hear someone say, Maggi Noodles saves the day, again? (Hm...)

(Wink, wink!)

Ma Or Maggi?


What's In A Name? Maggi!


Ma and Papa are having a competition. Ma is holding Baby in her arms when she says, "Say, Ma."

Baby finds the food on the plate more interesting and she says gleefully, "Maddi!"

"No, Ma. M...aaa. Ma."

"Maddi"

"No, Ma"

Baby is now restlessly shaking her arms and legs about. "Maddi, Maddi," she says.

Ma says, "No, say, Ma."

Baby objects...(Oh, dear)

Louder...(Dear me!)

And louder (Dear, dear)...

...all of which is recorded and updated on YouTube. (Tsk, tsk!)

Ma at last laughs and  gives in.  To pacify Baby, she hugs and kisses her and gives her a bite of Maggi Noodles. (Yaay, it worked!)

Now, it's Papa's turn. But, what's this? Before he can start, Baby lets out a wail. She wants Maddi...

...and Ma has Maddi. (Oh, dear!)

Papa hastily puts Baby in Ma's arms.

And Ma laughs as she feeds Baby a little bit of mashed Maggi Noodles.

Baby is happy. She bites Ma's cheeks with wet lips showing her how much she loves Maggi.

Baby loves Ma, Papa, Bro, and The Happy Family loves Maggi Noodles. (Muah!)

Who won, you ask?

Maggi, of course! It's always Maggi and no one knows that better than Ma. (Wink, wink!)

Hush, Baby, Have A Maggi




All Is Well...
...With A Packet Of Maggi.

It's nighttime. Baby has had her meal but is crying.

Ma is in the kitchen rustling up food for Papa and Bro.

Papa picks Baby up ever so gently and puts her on his chest.

Baby is still crying. (Oh, dear!) all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Dear me!)

Papa puts his arms around her and starts singing softly in a baritone voice, "Go To Sleep, My Baby..."

Baby blinks.

Blink, blink!


Baby becomes calmer as she wraps her fingers around Papa's thumb.

Slowly, gently, she closes her eyes...

... and lets out a tiny yawn.

She moves around making herself comfortable around Papa's arms and drifts into deep and peaceful sleep.


Hush, hush...

...soulfully peaceful...

...Bliss


Papa looks at Baby, and then at Ma winking at her, while she ends the video.

Papa waits for a minute or two and then puts Baby in the crib.

He puts an unopened packet of Maggi Noodles beside her (She is a Maggi Baby, you know) and then the family share some quiet moments over dinner.

All is well in the Maggi Baby Camp...

...until two hours, that is! (Egad!)

(Wink, wink!)

Maggi Baby At The Supermarket



Maggi Baby At The Supermarket


It's a cool and dry Saturday evening. The Happy Family are in a Supermarket.

Ma picks a large trolley and puts baby in it. Papa and bro are behind them.

Baby is so excited and happy. Ma pushes the trolley from one shelf to another.

Baby wants to shop, too.

Ma says, no, you are too young. Let bro shop. (Oh dear!)

Baby's lips pucker up and she lets out a howl. (Dear, dear!) all of which Is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Oh, dear!)

Ma tries to shush her but her wails grow louder and louder. (Tsk, tsk)

Finally, Ma relents, Camp Baby wins.

Teary eyed, she picks something. Ma says no.

Baby is about to let out a wail, when Ma shows her Kit Kat. Baby sniffs and holds it tight.

Phew! That was close!

Then, baby sees some Maggi Noodles packets, a full row of them. She is so excited. But, hello, she cannot reach them, so she points at them happily.

Ma is astonished. How could she recognise Maggi Noodles?

I don't know, do you? (Wink, wink!)

This episode also ends happily ever after.

Oops, till the next time, that is. (Tee-hee!)

Hello, Maggi?



Hello, Maggi?


On a bright, sunny morning, the phone rings.

Ma is making Maggi Noodles for breakfast and she reaches for the phone.

Baby gurgles with delight. She wants to talk, too. And so she comes crawling fast. She reaches Ma's legs and tugs at her dress to pull herself up.

Gimme, gimme, Ma.

Ma doesn't seem to understand and continues talking. (Oh, dear!)

Baby's voice gets louder... (dear me!)

...and louder...(oh, dear!)

...and louder (dear, dear!) all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. ( tsk, tsk)

Baby stretches her arms and lets out a loud wail to voice her protest. (Tsk, tsk, again!)

Ma picks her up before matters worsen.

Teary-eyed baby gets to finally talk...

...and she keeps talking, gurgling with laughter all the while.

Ma and papa are laughing...

...and so is baby.

But, wait, where's Maggi?

For the moment we are a happy family, having Maggi Noodles and  orange juice for breakfast.

Until the next time, we resolve to keep smiling...

Until then, happy eating.

(Wink, wink)

Maggi And The Happy Family

Nestle's Maggi And A Happy Family



It's a hot and sultry Sunday afternoon. The ac is humming softly in the background

Papa is taking a video of baby. But what should it be about?

Ma is playing with baby. She is swinging baby 360 degrees. Whee, what fun!

Baby is happy and gurgling with laughter, all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Gurgle, gurgle)

Now, papa wants to play with baby. He takes baby from Ma. Papa happily throws baby up in the air, laughing.

Baby is scared and starts crying. (Oh, dear!) all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Dear me!)

Papa is confused while Ma laughs as papa hastily gives baby some Maggi to eat. (Tsk, tsk!)

Teary baby is mollified, as she opens her mouth to eat  (Yum mum!)

Maggi Noodles does it again. (Phew!)

All is well that ends well.

Until the next, or so papa thinks.

Whad'ya think? (wink, wink)

Maggi Does It Again!

Maggi Keeps 'Em Happy


It's Sunday morning and I am still sleeping. Is it in my dreams or for real that Ma and papa are coochie-cooing in hushed tones?

Baby is moving her head, then arms and tiny fingers. Oh, cho chweet!

Hush and look with wonder the miracle of God...

I open an eye. It's bright and...

... baby is squinting.

They are delighted.

Baby is squinting and with such big, black orbs for eyes, staring at the two silly adults.

I haven't opened my mouth, so, what, pray is the joke?

I open my mouth to...

...they grab a diaper, put on the ac, rock me, give me hugs and kisses with a bottle of warm milk...

I don't think they get it...

Oh, yes, we do. And, most often than  not, we are right.

They give me an unopened yellow packet of Maggi Noodles to hold on to.

Bliss.

Phew!

Until the next time, that is!

Wink, wink.

Maggi Noodles - Size Matters


Maggi Noodles - One is Never Enough



Papa's having breakfast. Mummy puts me and bro on the table.

Papa is impatient. Something about catching the moment. He's tinkering with the phone when the food arrives. It's Maggi Noodles!

Mummy serves us first. I wait patiently for my turn. But, what's this?

I look at bro's bowl. It is bigger than mine.  (Oh, dear!)

Why does he have more and I less? I realise she's not being fair and let out a loud howl.

Papa
 is in splits. Adults have a weird sense of humour. (Tsk, tsk.)

Mummy says, "Alright then, you give her this", and so saying she exchanges my bro's bowl with mine.

Now he lets out a howl! (Oh, dear!)

Papa laughs out loud. Pray, what's funny about this? (More Tsk, tsk) All of this and much more is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Dear, dear!)

Mummy is finding it funny too.

Finally, after a family click, she gets two bowls and serves the yummy Maggi Noodles equally.

I am happy and so is bro,.

Slurp, slurp.

Tearful, but happy, we enjoy children's holiday special, Nestle's Maggi Noodles.

I love Ma, Papa, bro and Nestle's Maggi Noodles.

Nestle's Maggi Noodles - In more flavours as there are members of an average Indian family! (Tee-hee)

I Love Nestle's Kit Kat, Too!



Maggi and Kit Kat: Where Would One Be Without The Other?



I am having a bowl of Maggi Noodles.

Mummah is opening the fridge.

Quick, crawl up before she closes it. That's where she keeps the Ti Tat. I love Ti Tat.

Just when I come close, she closes it.

I wail. I want Ti Tat. Ma laughs and says, " First, say Kit Kat"

I say, "Ti Tat"

"No", she says, "It's Kit Kat".

"Ti Tat", I say louder...(Oh dear!)

Then querulously ...(Dear, dear)

Then, tearfully... (Tsk, tsk!)

And I start crying (Sigh!), all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (More tsk, tsk)

Mummah laughs and picks me up and kisses me.

And...

... Opens the fridge

With wet eyes and moist lips, I bite toothlessly at the wrap.

I love mummah, I love Ti Tat.

Ti Tat, Ti Tat.

Yes, says Ma, Ti Tat. Ha, ha. She kisses me again and I kiss her back with moist, salivating lips.

I'll say it again, mummah is the best, and so is Ti Tat.

When Baby is Cranky, Maggi Keeps Her Comfy


It's time for baby to eat. But, hello, baby is sucking her thumb!
What a bad habit (tsk, tsk, tsk)

Baby sucks her thumb. Ma pulls it.
Baby puts it in.

Mummah pulls it out, again.
Baby, in again.

Once again out. (Sigh, will it ever end?)

Baby protests and her lips begin to pucker (tsk, tsk, tsk) all of which papa is recording and uploading on YouTube! (Oh dear!)

Ma hastily gives her an unopened packet of Maggi Noodles and baby pulls out her thumb and opens her mouth.
