A note to Maggi

For those days when you feel that there is nothing, absolutely nothing in the house, there is always Maggi!

Sometimes I do wonder how good a wife I am - the house is in slight disarray from Monday to Friday, meals are used to be mostly outside, we just seem to come home to sleep and shower! And then I ask myself if that's the only qualities of a 'good' wife - keeping a clean house and running a kitchen. Every single time, 100 out of 100 times, the answer is a resounding, clear, loud NO. 

Of course the house has to be managed, it has to be run, the fridge has to be stocked but the occasional absence of groceries explains how busy or hectic or full of activity and life our week has been. It doesn't and shoudn't be an example of my house-managing skills. 

If you ask me what I really missed the most about India in my first few months in HK, the answer would be somebody who would come and cook and clean. But in the absence of all household help, I think we're doing just fine. Because on the days when there is absolutely nothing in the house, there is always Maggi! And eggs and cheese and chillies and onions and beer and milk and wine and suddenly, there seems to be food aplenty!
