The most important invention of all times may be a highly debatable topic. The choices can vary from a wheel to a light bulb to a telephone to an aircraft etc etc etc. But they all span over a large period of time.
Lets narrow our search of the most important invention to our generation.
But before that lets define the parameters based on which we can build a case of our choice. Though there can be a variety of parameters like communication, computing, entertainment, transportation and so on but I won't opt for all these. I would like to go to the roots of our existence.
What is the basic necessity of a human?
Yes, it is the cliched Roti, Kapda aur Makaan. We can live without our cars and mobiles and TVs and Laptops, and Internet. But its really tough to live without the above 3 things.
And it is under Roti or Food, that my choice of the greatest invention lies. The invention is.. <drum rolls>
Maggi Noodles!
Maggi Noodles!
I hope everyone agrees!
We love it when we are kids - a time when we have plenty of choices of the home cooked food. It is a delicacy - to be enjoyed once in a while. The scarcity of it providing the Value.
Once you grow up, it becomes kind of a necessity. Hostelers swear by it. You can have it anytime - the taste becoming better as you move closer to midnight.
If you are on a trek, making a maggi over a bonfire becomes the highlight of the trip.
Though I have no experience of it but I can imagine its use in a married life. Ya, when you have a fight and the wife refuses to make dinner!
In any case, it is the perfect backup when you are not in a mood to make dinner and running tight on a budget so can't order or go out.
The basic point is that maggi has been a solution to the most important need of your life when you need it the most.
Now, after writing so many words on it, how can I resist not having it right now. Will be back in 2 minutes!!!
