My tid bits

This is something I have been wanting to write for a long time now. From the time I have started working in an ad agency, many of my non ad friends keep asking me if theres some kind of a mass orgy that happens in the office. OK I kinda exaggerated it but what they wanna know is since people in ad industry are creative and blah blah blah, theres a lotta sleeping around happening..

Well lemme clarify some things, yes out here u do find people who are from varied backgrounds, yes many of them are those open minded types and yea they don’t shy away from topics such as sex, lesbianism, live in relationships etc.. But that really doesn’t mean that you enter your office and it suddenly turns out to be Hugh hefner’s mansion. And they wont just randomly pounce on u and start making out. And believe me its not just my friends who think this, my ex boss long time back was at an event. He was introduced to a popular film star at that time and he asked my boss what he did for a living. He replied advertising and the first thing he asked him was “Advertising, ladki wadki bahut milti hogi na (You would be getting a lotta women right)”.

I mean it just seems like as if we are in some really perverse kinda industry which to the outside world is doing advertising but on the inside its some sexual mass orgy that’s going on. But ya the ad industry is different than the others in some ways. We don’t call our seniors Sir or Boss, we call them by their names, we have lazy bags in our offices, music is played throughout, Our fav holiday spot is GOA with lotsa booz, ciggs and pot.

Many of them live for the moment so usually end of the month u end up bankrupt. After retirement many of them want to go open up a bar in goa and settle down.

Fav topics of discussion – Music, Movies, Sports, Food, where to drink, etc.

So yeah we are a little different i guess.
