A Comment on Nestle India's loss due to Maggi row

My Comment on an article '10,000 trucks, 6 cement plants to destroy 27,000 tonnes of Maggi noodles" published in livemint.com on 15/06/2015. 

"Very pitiable condition of Nestle India. The maggi noodles revelations have cost a huge unbearable loss to them.

Imagine noodles of about 27,000 tonnes worth Rs.320 crores being recalled from 3.5 million retail outlets in 10,000 trucks and then crushed in at least 6 cement plants to be burnt out in incinerators(kilns with long, high pipes for emitting gases into atmosphere) at high temperatures. 

The cost of hiring trucks, wages, hiring cement plants all these are extra. Add to it the damage caused to their 100 year old brand image and loss in shares, retrenchment of staff and other consequences that may follow."

A Comment on FIR against Actors on Maggie row

My comment on an article titled "Maggie row: Court directs FIR against Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta" published in ETRetail.com dated 03/06/2015.at 10:30 am. 


"Very sorry for the actors endorsing Maggie being targeted with FIR and arrests.

I wonder how can they be blamed? The actors normally should be considered as innocents as they can't be expected to have any knowledge about the composition of maggie product or their consequences on health of the consumers. All of us have consumed maggie in one way or other at any time and enjoyed its taste for many times. It is only when some revelations were made that we came to know of the bad effects of eating it. 

Even now, we consume it for emergency purposes as it is easy to prepare within minutes.

So, because of some rare happenings of illness, how can you sue on a lay man endorsing for the product as the cause of the bad effects on your health? 

You can sue only the producer of the product and his chemical designers/ engineers and nobody else should be held responsible for this."
