    My dear Maggi,

    I am sorry to hear that you are going through tough times these days with all the accusation against you. But I am sure that you will come out through these tough times and provide your love to future generations, just as you provided to my generation.

    Our friendship is nearing 25 years. Seeing you or even just your name brings smile on my face. As you know, many times my parents used you as an incentive for me to get things done by me. Whenever I was sad or sick, you were the only one that brought me happiness.

    You have been with me during my exam times, my SSC, HSC exams and during my engineering where you gave me strength even at late nights.

    You were also instrumental in me getting a wonderful husband. As you know, in my first meeting with my husband, I found that we were both Maggi lovers and that gave me a great relief as i didn't know cooking.

    You always were there instantly to feed us, when i come home from work very tired and having no energy to cook.

    As you know, i recently had a new born and can't take risk but my love for you shall always be there and my eyes are waiting to see you back on the shelves of the stores, may in some new dress and avatar.

    Hope you are well and hope all the confusion about the lead in you gets cleared and you help us out.

    Prayers for you,
    Love
    Akanksha

    Dear Aakansha ,

    I could empathize your sympathy... Our politicians have started to "protect" us from "harmful" food items at the same time continue to sell / allow to sell Liquor in all forms with just a simple caution label over the bottle...

    If those glass mates could choose to patron the known destroyer of health, it is only sad that kitchen mate Maggi and its lovers bore the brunt for having no freedom of choice ...

    May be there was no "income" from the sale of Maggi to the politicians when compared to the sale of liquor , where Government earns a treasure exceeding expectations and setting targets on festive occasions too, one we have in Tamilnadu is frontrunner in that....


    I am also confident once the Nestle group satisfy the "requisite " of our glorified politicians, whatever it means , Maggi will definitely be again in the shelves... Do not lose heart ...


    I would also like to share a WhatSapp message that my husband received :

    After Maggi's ban many prospective brides/grooms have removed one of their qualifications in matrimonial sites, that they know cooking !


    Regards,

    Pavithra

    Ha ha I get it! I grew up eating Maggie.. I was staying in Hostel during my engr days... The food at the canteen was horrible even though I paid 25K a year! At such times only maggi was there to save me from starving to death, for only 5rs!! Even to this day, until it made the headlines, It was my & my DH go to dish if we are fighting! :p

    Nice write up! Thanks for sharing!

    Amusing....folks clinging to Maggi (yummy lead and msg that makes you susceptible to hepatitis) and my guess is still avoiding frozen vegetables and leftovers. yumsmiley

    Yeh it is nostalgic. So many memories associated with it. Throw away the contents, keep the wrapper. I don't have any. Haven't ate it for nearly a year. I keep it in the shelves and not in the fridge. Are we supposed to keep it in the fridge?
