Maggi-An emotion

-

Maggi. 

Its not just a food item. Its an emotion.

Welcome back to month four of #faltufriday where I talk about something totally random and aaj I'm gonna talk about my go to food for literally any situation.

Its something I can have anytime, anywhere. And yeh milta bhi har jage hai. Whether its in the heat of Rajasthan or the freezing cold of Switzerland. 

This is one standard food which is found in any part of the world and tastes the same everywhere. The variety of dishes you can make with this one simple food is beyond bounds.

I, myself can make around 15 different Maggi dishes. And I'm open to more ok. I LOVE experimenting food.

The saddest part has to be when it got banned for brief time in India. I vividly remember actually sobbing and looking at people selling the ₹10 packets for 100 bucks and people actually bought it! Nothing beats the feeling when they actually came back to the market and I finally got a packet. 

Maggi is something that doesn't have a specific time for consumption. You can have it at 12:30 in the afternoon and at 3 am at night. 

My favourite Maggi moment has to be around 6 years ago in Lucknow.  Our flight got delayed 3 times and ultimately cancelled so we had to come home. It was around 1 o clock-ish in the middle of the night, when my mom made piping hot Maggi in the freezing cold of Lucknow winters. Nothing till this day beats the satisfaction of having the first bite of it.

In every situation in our life there is a constant food partner  i.e. Maggi.  It gives us some special moment with our loved one's when shared from a bowl, It heals in every heartbreak, it gives the warmth in every time we get sick, it gives energy in every late night study.  Maggi gets into every moment of  the life.

Okay so that was month 4 of #faltufriday. Don't forget to share and subscribe for more content every friday and drop your favourite 'Maggi moment' in the comments below! 

Signing off,

Kuhu :)

    Maggi- the superheroine in every mom's pantry. The reliable go-to when you are confounded on what to feed the hungry horde at a moment's notice.

The Constant Comparison Circle

"Wish I had hair like them." "How do they manage being the best at EVERYTHING?" "They're so fit  - look at me: a couch potato" We've all compared ourselves with the people around us. We all compare ourselves with the people around us. We get jealous, begrudged and green with envy. And sometimes we just smile to not let the world know. We get insecure. We feel bad. But what we always forget to accept is the state of the situation. Our situation - their situation. Literally no one out there is a 100% happy with their lives. And, unlike the cliches, maybe we shouldn't be.  Who said that you have to be happy all the time? If you're happy all the time then how do you become a better version of yourself? There will always be someone smarter, richer, more popular, and better-looking than you. Healthy competition is good. It's not a bad thing to have people be better than you. It's a bad thing if you accept that you can never work hard and

The part about College Applications NO ONE wants to talk about.

Officially the time of the year when most of us know where we're going to college!  College is stressful: no cap. But what's equally more stressful is the process that builds up to getting into a good college. Whether you're in the Indian education system or an international applicant, we all know that competition is getting tough. Getting into a well-accredited college in India means  and abroad: But real talk: what happens AFTER the whole process? After you commit to a school? I like to phrase this feeling as Tun-tun mausi ke taane. Why? Because no matter what you do or where you end up - there's always someone to talk bad behind your back, nullify your hard work or simply claim, "Oh I'm better."  In the case of college apps, this is manifested by googling the acceptance rate. Let me draw you a picture: Person A gets into an Ivy League/IIT, person B is at a good college and person C got into a local/community college. It's been ingrained in our syste

Consistency and the 4 Year Special

“Isn’t it funny how, day by day, nothing changes, but when we look back, everything is different.” -C.S. Lewis If you go to the gym for the first time, and you work out, and you come back, you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. If you go to the gym the next day, and you come back, and you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. Clearly, there are no results, can't be measured, it must not be effective, right? This is the thought that often leads to us quitting. The problem doesn't solely lie in the lack of patience, but rather, in the lack of material. If we don't see it, we tend to believe it doesn't exist. That's where we get it wrong. "Good things take time. Getting better takes time. Building a habit takes time." But they also take consistency.  Going to the gym for nine hours does for a day not get you into shape. Working out every day for 30 minutes gets you into shape. Studying a chapter one night before may work (sometimes); but in t

Next Stop: Graduation. Ft. Senioritis.

 I'm officially an adult.  And I'm going to formally experience "life" now. It's going to be tough. I know that. But the only thing that keeps me confident enough to face that fact is that I will never EVER relieve my senior year of High School again. If I could survive 12th grade, I can - hopefully - survive what the future holds for me. So, to officially start the post: School can be rife with stress. Every waking moment is spent either in front of a textbook, in class, doing an extracurricular or editing the millionth attempt of your Common App essay (if you're an International aspirant.) And when you're in a constant loop of the same, fatigue is but natural to catch up to you. This is what my - as well as most of yours' - senior year looked like: Last exam of 11th grade - a movie out with friends - AP's and SAT - Internships - Common App Essay - Extra-curriculars - Barbieheimer - First Semester Exams - Early apps - Durga Puja - Pre-boards - Re
