Maggi Noodles Saves The Day, Again!




A First-Time Mom's Experiments With Maggi Noodles!



Baby is crying. First time mom hasn't figured it all as yet. So she tackles the problem with the process of elimination. (Oh dear!)

It's hot. Put the ac on? Check.
Still cries...

Rock her? Check.
Cries still ( Oh dear!)

Give her milk? Check.  
She's wailing louder! (Dear, dear!)

Change diapers? Check.
And now she's spluttering with baby rage. (Tsk, tsk)

Quick, give her a packet of Maggi Noodles to hold?

Bliss!

Phew!

It works! (Hee-haw!)

Maggi Noodles Saves The Day, again! (Blow the horn!)

Maggi Noodles Saves The Day!

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.

Phew!

Maggi, you never fail to surprise me!

Your Baby's Got Talent




A Few Ways To Know Your Baby Has Got Talent

He shakes his head when you put on a song

He dances to English tunes

He dances to any tune

His first words were Do (No?)

 So? (Huh?)

 La? (Never-mind)

He could be a graphics designer; he watches animated movies

He could be a cricket fan (is that even a talent?); he cries when we roar

He stops crying when we watch some cricketing action at 3 a.m. (Can a baby tell time?) (Snigger, snigger)

 Don’t do that, he cries when you put off the TV. The TV is not an idiot box although you might qualify as one (Gasp!)

He claps when India claps...

...And slaps his head when we lose

He loves Lay’s! (The boy’s got good taste, literally!) Hee-haw!



I’m sure I’ve missed many. Do share your baby’s superstardom in the comments below.

Say, What Do You Want To Be?




When I Grow Up I want to be…


Mummy wants me to be a singer

And Daddy a dancer too

Brother thinks I’m a fine bowler

WHAT DO I DO?

I sing when I am happy

And dance a few steps too

I play cricket when I’m most happy

THAT’S WHAT I WILL DO!


Say, what do you want to be? (Wink, wink!)

Please May I Have Some Lay's?





A Baby’s Experiments with Lay’s

Mummy asks Daddy if he’s seen baby. Daddy is tying a tie and says heck he has not.

 It’s awfully quiet. Their hearts skip a beat.

Suddenly, they hear a sound…
…in the kitchen.

 Quick!

Baby turns his head.

 What are they looking at me like that for? They look so silly. (Hic!)

His mouth is full of pieces of chips.

Mummy is angry with me; something about how bad it is for health.

I cry: Don’t take it away from me.  I want Lay’s. I love it, I do, too.

She rubs off the grub from my mouth but lets me have the chips anyway. Yay!

I love mummah! I love Lay’s!

A Child Croons to Lay's Tunes - 1



A Child Croons to Lay’s Tunes - 1


Mummy says I’m naughty

Daddy thinks so too

My teacher keeps complaining: WHAT TO DO!

I tell ma that I’m good

The teacher that I’m fine

That I come back home and watch Cricket all through the night!

You can be famous too!



Stake Your Claim to Fame Perhaps at Cannes 2015

Dear Readers,

I need your help. If you look at my posts at http://poojashriram.blogspot.in, you’ll understand why. The headlines suck! I mean, what was I thinking? Can a meal survive on the meat alone? Does the quality of the bread not matter?

So, here’s the thing. Please go through the posts before you attempt to write suitable headlines. Also,  please keep the voice of the posts in mind. That’s it, then.

 The best headlines for the posts will be updated with your name on it. There’s no saying where the next superstar will come from, is there now? (Wink, wink)

And that's not all. The headline writing winner gets to work with me one-on-one in preparation for Cannes 2015.

Please write your headlines in the comments below each of the blog posts.

Looking for some great fun,

Until then,

Adieus!
