What Should Maggi do?
Most
of us Indians are good at telling others what they should do – be it with their
education, career or life at large. We
believe in being generous in that sense. And we really do not care if the other
person is listening or not. The point is that we should express ourselves ;).
On that thought, let us tell Maggi what they should do?
To begin with, if they really believe
that there is no health hazard with regard to their product, the top executives
of Nestle can have a press meet at each of the state capitals where in they
have a plate of Maggi. The journalists who are attending the press meets can
bring packets of Maggi available in the department stores. This way, we ensure
that the packets are not rigged (intentionally made safe by the company). Also,
it is a good enough sample size for a country of our size and scale. In Bombay,
Madhuri Dixit may also participate for the luncheon .This way, all the
controversy about whether or not actors be held responsible for the products
they endorse can be put to sleep.
Let me tell you, I love Maggi. I
have had it for years together; be it after school or during an internship away
from home or during the first job. Maggi has always been a trusted aid to rein
in my insatiable appetite. But with all these news around, I have turned a bit skeptical.
The social media hearsay isn’t helping either. What I would suggest is to
change the packaging. May be a new colour other than yellow for the packet will
help. If it is possible, try and change the colour of the product too. This
way, I can be sure that whatever I am putting in my mouth is produced after the
said fiasco and is safe to consume.
Many of us believe in Karma. If you
have committed some wrong doing somewhere or even if you haven’t, good Karma
always helps. All you need to do is to tell us that you are going to do spread
some goodness around to get over this bad phase. This may be by sponsoring a
day’s meal for the kids in orphanages across the country or by sponsoring
education for a handful of children. That decision we leave it to you J.
