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)
