the '2 minute noodle' connection...






Yaa, my colleague here, from Ghana tells me, she remembers Maggi - the 2 minute noodle product from her school days.

This, on seeing the Maggi pack i had got from the local Indian store for my breakfast requirements.

A few days back she had told me, that she hasnt been home, for the last 8 years.

Am quite zapped, Maggi, the 2 minute noodle wonder, connecting school children from one part of the globe to the other. Connecting people, who have left homes, and school tiffin boxes, for a long time now.

Sometimes, the greatest of conglomerates, the greatest of MNCs dont even realise, how they have managed to unconsciously, through their products, managed to connect people.

Staying in their tiffin boxes, reviving themselves, like an accident, in unknown places, amidst unknown people, where we never thought we would be travelling to...

This short post thus, to the wonder of Maggi -- the 2 minute noodle connection.

Love,

`thequietchild.
