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)

Cricket, Me And MAGGI





My bro is a good batsman

And I, a good bowler too

The fielders are all boys

WHAT DO I DO?


  
I play badminton sometimes

Hopscotch sometimes too

But I am most happy bowling

THAT’S WHAT I WILL DO!



Oh, what a time was that

When we ended the game with some MAGGI and chilled Orange Tang!

Win Or Lose




Win or lose, win or lose

You could have a bite of Noodles

If you win or lose

Cheer for your team with all your might

You could have two bites of Noodles

When winning is at sight



Win or lose, win or lose

You could have a bite of Noodles

If you either win or lose

Cheer for your team with all your might

It’s only a game

Don’t get into a fight!



Win or lose, win or lose

You could have a bite of MAGGI

If you either win or lose

Maggie Plays Chupa Chupi With Bro And MAGGI (Wink, wink)





Big bro is playing chupa chupi with me. I love the game. Bro hides behind a duppatta  and I uncover it to find him. It’s such fun. I am gurgling with laughter. He does it all the time but I never tire of the game.

Then he shows me a packet of MAGGI Atta Noodles. I am so happy. I reach for it. But he hides it somewhere behind his back. (Oh, dear!)

Now this is getting serious. (Tsk, tsk)

Where is my MAGGI? It’s behind his back. I pull his arm. He brings it forward. His hand is empty. And then he brings the other hand out too. That hand is empty too. How can it be? Where is my MAGGI?

I realize that I have been duped, that my MAGGI is lost forever. My smile turns into a heart-crunching wail. My whole world is crumbling down. How can I live without MAGGI? Where did the packet go? How will I eat MAGGI now? (Dear me!)

Mummy and daddy are watching the scene with amusement, all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube! (Dear, dear)

Big bro, wiping the tears from my eyes, gives me a kiss…

…and shows me a packet of MAGGI Noodles!

My voice is querulous as I ask him in a language best understood by babies to please not play such games with me. It’s not funny. (Tsk, tsk)

Big bro gives me the packet and I reach out to kiss him back. Bro is so good. (Muah!)

All’s well that ends well.

Not surprisingly, the day is saved by MAGGI Noodles, once again! (Wink, wink)
