Used and Amused: Mafia Marketing
http://myfunnyworklife.blogspot.com/2009/03/mafia-marketing.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2009. For weeks now, we had been noticing a simmering of excitement in LL's demeanour. He would spend hours closeted in his cabin with his EA, who would then stumble out unsteadily, with sheaves of papers spilling out of her file. Post such a tete-a-tete, we would often see her stagger back into our workstation *. For those who've chanced upon this only now, scroll through the archives for a description of the Workstation in the introductory paragraphs of 'The Day of the Call - I'.

Used and Amused: If Men are from Mars
http://myfunnyworklife.blogspot.com/2009/07/if-men-are-from-mars.html
Wednesday, July 8, 2009. If Men are from Mars. I liked the Patel brothers. Quite apart from their ripping, unholy ambition to take on the mammoth market leader, and new launches almost at the speed of light as compared to Indian marketing standard time, they had well balanced family lives, or so I liked to believe. This was extremely welcome, as our meetings with them usually went on from about 4 pm to half past eleven at night. Lately, I'd been asking around for pepper spray. Trying to self analyse *.

Used and Amused: The Pursuit of Bollyness-II : Wagging the Dog
http://myfunnyworklife.blogspot.com/2009/05/pursuit-of-bollyness-ii-wagging-dog.html
Sunday, May 3, 2009. The Pursuit of Bollyness-II : Wagging the Dog. Continued from P of B Part-I…. For the next couple of weeks things got so hectic that there was no time to worry about the promise made to Mr. Prakash and the next meeting due. A scene I was beginning to picture increasingly with graphic images of dangling Damocles' swords and me as the hapless Damocles. Uneasy, however, did not seem to lie our modern day Dionysius' head. At least, to all outward appearance. Get me Prakash", said LL.

Monday, March 2, 2009. Just a Random Day at Work. Client's office, one fine day. As always, do bear with the poor quality of sketch. The options presented did stump me at first glance. But you can guess which door I chose. Click on the image to see it clearly. only if you want to.). Three categories of restrooms. mind blowing la! I just fell out of my chair laughing :).

Used and Amused: February 2009
http://myfunnyworklife.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Answering Queries from Willing Victims - II. Have stuck to adverbatim questions so readers can recognize their own. Q: Why do you keep leaving 'notes for global readers'? Hey, c'mon mate, allow me the dream. Besides, I really do have global readers (I hope). Q: How do I leave a comment anonymously? Click on the option that says 'Anonymous' in the comment section. If you're not a complete stranger, do leave me a clue that it's you as it's a bit creepy not knowing who it is.

Used and Amused: Excerpts from LL's Personal Diary
http://myfunnyworklife.blogspot.com/2010/01/excerpts-from-lls-personal-diary.html
Monday, January 4, 2010. Excerpts from LL's Personal Diary. These forgotten pages from LL's diary were anonymously scanned and emailed. After great trepidation, as I felt uneasy unleashing great evil unto the world, I overcame my scruples as this would give you, dear reader, tremendous insight. After all, wasn't Mein Kampf published in paperback for the same reasons? Read with caution - there's no going back. Some illegible scrawls could not be deciphered. Sack someone before 31 Mar. Nice campaign idea b...

Used and Amused: November 2009
http://myfunnyworklife.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 9, 2009. I jump ahead many years with this account, from what I think of as my third life. I never promised you chronological accuracy anyway. On this day, I was to encounter my most bizarre meeting ever. I was at the head office of a mid-sized company's MD for different reasons, perceived by me as altruistic and by him as predatory. I only realized this much later. Names have been changed, to protect me. He leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowed and steepled fingers resting on his chin.

Used and Amused: What's an Introvert
http://myfunnyworklife.blogspot.com/2009/09/whats-introvert.html
Friday, September 18, 2009. 8230;like you, doing in a field like. Good question. One that I got asked a lot. Of all the unlikely career choices, this was a big mistake, or so I was beginning to think. Let some alternative titles I contemplated for this post serve as a warning in advance:. If Only I’d Known. Your Grass is SO much Greener. I was quite happily settled into the routine, and more importantly, happy with what I was making. I liked what it did to my seriously introverted personality too. The da...
