June 2006... nothing great happened just a new chapter began in my life... I got through Adfactors PR. Well yeah looking back it was a great thing :). Adfactors PR... amongst the top 5 PR agencies in India and me working there was a dream come true!
This was the first time when I actually understood the true sense of working. The unrealistic expectations from your boss, from your clients... the process, the deadlines to be met... its like you are thrown in the sea without a life jacket and you don't even know how to swim. However when you just feel you cant survive any more... there comes a life guard will help you swim over the high tides and then again leave you... but that made me strong.
Working in PR field exposes you to a lot of people... you learn to tackle people... learn to control your emotions and be a complete professional. I changed...of course not overnight but I changed... people around me felt it. However for my mom I still remained the 'bholibhali girl'. She felt I was too naive and people would take advantage of me. She would be worried about me, and I had to explain to her time and again, I am a completely different person when I am in office and some one else when I am at home. It took more then a year for my mom to accept that.
This is also the place where I met Rahul Khanna ( not the actor). I instantly fell in love with him :). Love at first sight! Fair, handsome, tall, goes red when he laughs, slight American accent, intelligent, chivalrous, funny, awesome sense of humour and married! :( yeah my heart broke when I came to know that...Never the less I gave more then 100% to service the account.
All my colleagues and even my sir knew I had a huge crush on him. They use to pull my leg and I use to go complete red blushing... those were the days!
2005 and 2006 were the best years of my life... but hell I never knew back then that the next two years were going to be the worst years....
