Fame...ITC Kitchens of India


Fame Vs Infamy 

The hazards of being famous, or close to…(wink, wink)

Admit, truthfully…

… if only to yourself!

Have you ever been loved?

 Me, too.

Have you ever been hated?

 Me, too.

Have you meant many things to many people?

 Surprise, surprise! Why, me too.

Have you been fired for n number of reasons, including office / corporate politics?

 I’m sorry to hear that. But if it’s any consolation, I’ve been too.

Such are the vagaries of a brand such as me, ITC Kitchens of India. (Sob, sob!)   

Gee, you haven’t experienced tough love? Good for you! (Some more sob, envy, sob, envy!)

Can you then at least find me a place in your heart? Do a brand a good turn?

For instance, buy me, yes? (Wink, wink!)

Gimme more! - Ready-to-eat ITC Kitchens of India



Gimme more

-   A mother’s experiments with Ready-to-eat Kitchens of India

Why is mummy giving me ragi? Where’s my food? (Wah!)

Baby’s crying? Quick! Give her a spoonful of KOI.

Baby’s salivating…

Good. Now pop in another spoon of ragi...

 Baby wails…!

Pop another spoonful of KOI.

Baby salivates, the saliva drooling off her moist mouth as she satisfies herself one last time.

And then…

Gurgles in sleep and her mouth puckers up as if she is sucking. 

A dimpled smile now and then…

Oh, good. It worked!

Health bhi, taste bhi.

Satisfied by her experiment, mummy calls the grocer’s for another packet of ready-to-eat ITC Kitchens of India. (Hee haw!)

KOI - the ones with a big heart!


Big hearted Ready-to-eat ITC Kitchens of India

Odriew Restaurant – the one with a big heart

On one of those hot and sunny days, when the management and ITC Kitchens of India were playing their pranks, two young urchins peered through the fine glass windows to see what the guests were having. They hadn’t eaten for a while now, eating what they found in dustbins and leftovers.

The manager sees them and beckons them to come through the rear door.

The urchins, thinking they were going to be suitably chastised, beat a swift retreat.

What then ensues is a chor-police game with the waiters and the urchins, all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Hee haw!)

After a lengthy cat and mouse game, the huffing marathoners catch up with the boys and explain that there is a surprise in store for them and would they not run anymore?

Big eyes peer into the kitchen with years of pain writ all over their faces as the chef gives them a bit of food and tells the still unconvinced boys to go ahead and eat.

The boys eat as if it was their first ever meal and beat a hasty retreat, lest the chef engage them in some unsavory work.

The management and ITC Kitchens of India pat the employees for a good day’s work as the staff sit down to a quiet meal of some of the food, cooked in honor, and for, the guests.

Goes to show that atithi seva begins at home, doesn’t it? (Wink, wink)

Is there any restaurant that is doing good work that you know of? Do share your experiences with us in your comments below.

Baby's First Taste of Ready-to-eat Kitchens of India


Baby’s First Taste of Ready-to-Eat KOI

Mummy and dada have woken me up with all that noise!

Good grief, woman! I’ve just woken up from my 11 o’clock nap!  Will you stop coochikooing me and give me something to eat?

No, not the milk bottle, silly! Baby wants to eat! Wah!

Does it take a woman 10,000 failed attempts to get this simple thing right?

Oh, goody. Mummy just gave me a lick of some ready-to-eat KOI gravy…

Umm…

Dribble…

 Then gurgle …

…and then zzzzzzzzzzzz.

And a dimple smile here with a gurgle there…

No prizes for guessing what I am dreaming about!
