15 Things You Wouldn't Believe The MDH Man Has Outlived
Mahashay Dharampal Gulati is the man behind MDH Spices in India. His story is inspiring to say the least. He is so old that he outlived all of these things: 1 Track suits, 2 Ambassador, 3 Maruti 800, 4 Communist rule in Bengal, 5 Cassettes and 6 Orkut.
Before we start dwelling on how old MDH king Mahashay Dharampal Gulati is, let me first begin by saying how much we respect this guy for the success that he has achieved, and continues to achieve. Even at the age of 88, he's as cool as cool could get. A spice maker who turned his roadside shop into MDH Spices, a household name in India, Mahashay Dharampal Gulati's story is inspiring to say the least.
Now, coming back to how old this man is. The answer, in short is, very.
This man is so old, his memory is in black and white.
This man is so old that his first Diwali, was the first Diwali.
He is so old that he outlived all of these things:
1. Track suits.

If you're not a sports person, and are still wearing a track suit, there's something seriously wrong with you. The 90s are over brother. Where have you been?
2. Ambassador

This curved shaped beauty ruled the roads for nearly 60 years before Hindustan Motors decided to pull the plug in 2014. But, is it as cool as the MDH masala man? Nope.
3. Maruti 800

India's most favourite family car. MDH dadaji has outlived it. No match.
4. Communist rule in Bengal.

India fought for its independence. India got its independence. Pakistan became a separate country. Bangladesh became a separate country. Communism in West Bengal ended. ALL this, while dadaji was...
5. Cassettes

Remember cassettes? Remember how we always used to buy two copies of our favourite albums because the first one would always eventually get scratched because we would play it so often? You know who never got scratched?
That's right.
6. Orkut
Not just Orkut, but Hi5, and MySpace too. I still remember asking my close school friends to write me a testimonial. Never got a good one. This is back when V usd 2 wrte lyk dis. You know who always got a good testimonial from others?
MDH man!

From listening to Mozart on the gramophone...

Remember the days when we all had shady Hotmail addresses? When chatting with ¡®gal pals¡¯ and ¡®dudes¡¯ at 64 kbps internet speed was the thing to do? This is so old that we usd 2 typ lyk dis, lolzzz. So old but not as old as¡
9. Telegram

Even the telegram, one of the oldest ways to communicate with friends and family, saw the light of the day. But¡
10. The careers of Govinda, Jackie Shroff, Sunny Deol and Suneil Shetty
These guys came, made some cool movies (not Suneil Shetty, he didn¡¯t really do anything cool), and went. Their careers are over! But MDH Kasturi Methi, still as methilicious as ever!
11. Landlines

People don¡¯t have landlines anymore. India has more cellphones than toilets now. No more uncouth looking phones. No more trunk calls. EVER.
12. Ink Pen
wikipedia
Thanks to laptops and smartphones, very few write letters anymore, and even fewer with an ink pen. Gone. It¡¯s pass¨¦. You know who still writes with an ink pen though. I think you do.
13. A good Pakistan cricket team.

Gone are the days when greats like Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Inzamam-ul-haq and others would compete at the highest level. The MDH man outlived a cricketing nation.
Total boss!
14. Goldspot/ Campa Cola
Our refreshment drinks and mixers have changed. But Kahsmiri Methi and Chunky Chat Masala¡
Strong as ever!
15. Beef
The MDH man has outlived what people in Bombay are allowed to eat. He was around when the first beef product was served in Mumbai. Beef in Bombay is no more, but he is.
Now time for the bonanza. MDH guys caught hold of the special effects team that made Avatar, and this is what they came up with.
We salute you MDH man.
DING!

A complete movie and sitcom buff, he can spend days in front of the television watching his favourite films, TV shows and the greatest football team in the world - Chelsea. He doesn't believe in getting out of bed unless he absolutely has to. Much like his face, he likes to write on everything funny, obscure, and nonsensical the world has to offer. He believes travelling is the best way to learn anything, and can happily play FIFA all night long. ?A creature of the night, Rishabh is also a firm believer that the solution to all life¡¯s problems is Batman
