Since childhood, Maggi is the favorite snacks for all children in the whole country. It's not only yummy, but is quite easy to make too. But it's very sad to see that it's getting banned in some states. Thinking about the memories, this product has given me, makes me sad cause we're not able to consume it now. Though in some states like Karnataka it was found to be totally fit for eating according to the standard rules, other states have still not lifted it up. Every student enjoys making and eating it. We found out several other ways to eat Maggi while we were in hostel.
It landed my roommate to trouble when more than 6-7 packets were found in her luggage that day. Even I was caught for illegally keeping Maggi in the hostel. The warden even called our parents, and told us that we would be expelled if another packet was found with us. At that time I still had a packet left, but my love for Maggi was so much that I couldn't throw it like this. So we opened the window of our room and kept it on the edge of a projection. Anyways, we could never take it back from there. The people in the hostel had found many places to hide the illegal eatables in the building by that time. And now when we're out of the hostel, they have banned it and now the family won't allow us.
We had a small immersion rod, just for making Maggi. Whole hostel would depend on it for their midnight Maggi snacks. But I, when felt too lazy to boil water with that small rod, brought the water from hostel mess. It was not cooked rather left in hot water, to soak, then eaten. How hazardous must it be to our body, but we never bothered about such things. Sometimes on birthdays, a cake was made from Maggi, which was our second favorite after the biscuit cake (To make it we crushed biscuits and mixed some bournvita and water, then shaped it). We had so much fun, eating these cakes and didn't leave a single bit of it.
It was a matter of envy when a girl from hostel was eating a box full of Maggi alone. You realize these things only when you live in a school's hostel, how do you feel when you're hungry, and the dayscholar friends of your enjoyed their lunch. Other students waited eagerly to eat the food that their mom had sent them, and we had to settle with those oily samosas of canteen. And that day seeing that girl eating Maggi alone, other girls wondered where did she get it from. Actually her guy, who lived in the boys' hostel had given it to her. Maggi had made these boys better cook than us. I thought, cause it tasted better XD (I never tasted) . They, the boys hostel wale, made such good Maggi. So if we had to get good Maggi we had to ....

Loads of memories revolve around the hostel and food. Our turn wise chances for eating it, treats from Kwality Walls, and many more. In a way the hostel turned us into foodies, leaving some, exceptions are always there. Few harmful things have been found in it and it has been banned. Well I can take the risk of eating it even now, love it.
