The Maggi Fiasco

With my last blog out, my brain got breather to talk about other stuff. Amidst all the Nestle Maggi controversy and recall, I'm wondering what will it be like without Maggi. It is awfully horrible to imagine those empty sections of D'mart, Big Bazaar, Hypercity which had overflowing Maggi noodle packets.

I have survived on Maggi for most of my dinners for almost 6 months in US, just to realize I need to start cooking. (Cooking part is completely to ignore) Same would be story of so so

After all we as well are social animals. Although our survival needs are different, but instinct is probably same. Talk about innocence in Kids . Ummm?!!? They know how to get that toy/chocolate o
