pressure in .. health out

off late i am crazy busy at work.. with the new marketing year round the corner.. it reminds me of annual exams .. every year religiously it would come in March end .. April beginning and ensure that we suffered under its black cruel and strong arms.. u can cry .. u can run .. u can hide .. but u cant escape from it ...

same feeling grips me every dec - march... with the next years plan to do.. fight tooth and claw for higher marketing budgets.. dream of bigger better sales figures.. ya its here to "the Bigger the better" :) and then go all out with the creatives of the marketing plans.. come up with wacky tactics that gives competitors sleepless nights and we get to have da biggest part of the cake .. yum yum....

and here we slog day in day out .. make a glam presentation to the sales team and there is our mark sheet.. the enthusiasm they show or lack of it .. makes or breaks our day ....
rather that quarter....

but what the heck its the job i really love .. the excitement .. the big idea hunting.. the sleepless nights.. the nerve wrecking suspense..the hunt for the perfect payoff .. the copywriting.. the copy check.. too much happening with lots of drama.....

ya it could be converted into a good soap .. wondering why no soaps run on our profession .. ekta kapoor u listening..

i din realize how all this was affecting my health until past couple of days.. exhaustion has sucked me hollow .. and now am behaving like an ostrich by avoiding to go to doctor.. well baba now i totally understand why u hate da docs.. its like a
kiss from the devil.. u want it .. to know how it feels.. and yet u scared that the romantic dream u have about kiss will get totally shattered..

but i will garner enough courage and c a doc tomorrow..

god pl make the doc handsome even if my results aint that good ..


pressure is good .. is positive .. helps perform better.. but not to the extend that i am taking off late..

so the new mantra..

Tension lene ka Nahi.. Gum kar dene ka !!

(Dont take tension.. just loosen it up .. )

is that the right translation .. nah .. so i do need to loosen it a bit n take a chill pill...

Guys this is called a stress test.. if this pic makes sense to u.. then u r in need of serious medical help..

Go Take A Vacation !!

  1. I have always drifted through life with zero ambition, zero goals and the only time I ever understood what it was to work under pressure was when I was doing the final edit for The Finger Puppet :-) Drink garlic soup, and yes, do go see a doc.
