a memoir of etchings and wanderings
I don’t usually indulge in blogging competitions and especially the sponsored sorts. But this one is different. A combination of two passions – one a brand I loved, having worked with them in the past, and the other being the obvious – travel. To understand BA’s new India campaign, you’ll have to watch this advert first: I had read somewhere that you never know a person until you travel with … Continue reading “Go further, to get closer” →
It has been a really long time since I sat down and actually enjoyed football. I can clearly recall how the parents and I would sit down after dinner to watch the late matches of some FIFA World Cup.

Along came an email from the hub of British Airways – my currently most active client, inviting us to an annual induction at the head office. Thus began my suppressed excitement towards … Continue reading “LHR ♥” →

Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (Who also plays Mr Holmes, the older – Mycroft), starring my newest ‘crush’ Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor … Continue reading “Sher-locked” →
I have always complained about the poor programming that is Indian television – soppy soaps, visibly pre-determined reality shows and the desi-fication of MTV (Remember the times when MTV was actually music television?) hence never really took much interest in the existence of the idiot box. In the past one and a half years the only time I really missed it was during the FIFA World Cup 2010 where I … Continue reading “For the love of the idiot box” →
