I miss Maggi noodles. It is one of those things that you could quickly make and munch on, especially on rainy days. Its been a couple of weeks since I went to Patel Bro’s and stocked up my kitchen with Maggi Noodles. Its cold and raining here and all I can think of is Maggi Noodles.

So many memories are tied with Maggi… from their soups to the fairly new ‘daal sambhar atta noodle’ variety.  

But I have to say, their ‘rice noodle mania’ definitely did not work for me.  I am happy with their originial flavor and fell in love with the ‘daal sambhar’ and still can’t get enough.

Let me try and list a couple of  fond associations I have with Maggi noodles… maybe reminiscing over them just might console my heart.

• cooking my own maggi noodles as a kid for an evening snack
• trading tiffin boxes in primary/high school so I could eat the maggi noodles they got from home as lunch
• cooking and eating maggi noodles late at night among friends in the hostel in during exams ( Med school)
• cooking maggi noodles over burning wood on so many treks in the Western Ghats
• eating maggi noodles at my cousin’s place… she  made it reaaally well
• eating maggi noodles early in the morning at the restaurant on top of Nandi Hills
• watching a canteen chef on the show MTV Campus reply ‘maggi noodles’ to Cyrus Brocha when asked ‘what his best dish was?’
• introducing my wife to maggi noodles and cooking it a gazillion times as a quick lunch/dinner option during our stay in India

I think I can go at this all day. Sigh!
