The 2mins blog

Entered India somewhere in 1980’s, now Amitabh Bacchan to Madhuri Dixit promoting the immensely popular Maggi noodles. This (sudden) ban on Maggi is a bit surprising to me for following reasons:

One: Is this just a drama? Banning a product after allowing it to gain an enormous market share, is an eye catching act of course.

Two: Required business cuts, perhaps, denied or deviated by Nestle?

Three: Is the government even aware regarding food Adulteration happening all over India?

In Mumbai, vegetables are grown near and around the tracks using water from gutter. This has not stopped over years? They will not be banned or this will not be controlled, of course vegetables are good for health. Maggi, widely consumed in cities like Mumbai, contains xyz, which is bad for health, banned. What an irony!

Why was the government not vigilant enough to govern such malpractices, especially in the food industry? They couldn’t spare 2mins? Oh common. You get a plate of hot, sizzling and spicy Maggi, in just 2mins!

Why was the government not vigilant enough to govern the Mid-Day meal scheme? Kids brawled to death in some states. They couldn’t spare 2mins? Oh common. You get a plate of hot, sizzling and spicy Maggi, in just 2mins!

Why was the government not vigilant enough to monitor Maggi samples on an annual basis? At least much frequently than once in a decade. They couldn’t spare 2mins? Oh common. You get a plate of hot, sizzling and spicy Maggi, in just 2mins!

But who will raise the voice? In India, the one who speaks and is listened to, is the one with the Gandhi Printed Paper.

Wait and watch now. 2mins please, and no Maggi this time!
