The Maggi row is raging on. People are dumping it as if it's a bundle of cyanide about to kill you.
That's another thing I find it pretty amusing. Specially the reaction of the common people.
This reminds me of a story.
One day Naren (Swami Vivekananda in his childhood days) and his friends were playing as usual near the banyan tree. The kids used to climb up the tree and vault back.
To stop the children from doing this the old man of the home one day told them that a ghost resides in that tree and whoever climbs on it is killed by the ghost.
Hearing this all the children immediately stopped climbing the tree except Naren.
The children asked Naren not to climb else the ghost will kill him. Naren climbed the tree and told them "What an ass are you all. If there really were a ghost in the tree it would have killed us all long before the old man told us the story. "
Same here. We have grown up eating Maggi. Every Sunday the breakfast was of Maggi. Every alternate evening Maggi soup style was the favourite snack. And yet we are as intelligent as an average indian is. An entire generation has grown up eating Maggi and nothing happened and all of a sudden people are burning Maggi just coz some tom duck n harry has found lead and msg content higher than permissible limit. Oh please. Give me as break.
I know people will blast me for this post but then just think if passive smoking .... polluted water.... polluted air.... carbide grown fruits.... And chemicalised vegetable doesn't kill us.... Maggi surely won't. ...
Give it a thought.
Will the ghost kill us now after the story has been told?? Think !!!
