Interview at Draft FCB Ulka... One fine Friday :)

Took an off from office on a Friday and went to town. Had an interview at Draft FCB Ulka for Strategic planner with Mr Wabgaonkar (Mr Wabs). Took a morning train reach town and there i was staring at the EROS theatre and Lakme Salon and then i was back in my past HUL- Churchgate days. Used to travel every morning to town and had such a nice time with her. Memories came flashing by and before it could force me down, I walked by to catch a cab to Inox. I called HR at FCB for directions and he told me to take a cab. I was wondering how far it is. The cab took me past "The Intercontinental" and there it was another memory flash of my birthday in 2010 which had celebrated with her. Finally reached the interview place. Phew! Took the lift and was at the entrance of the agency office. So majestic and beautifull. Informed the receptionist and was guided towards Mr Wabgaonkar.

He made me watch a video for the agencies ad films and client base.
Mr Wabs....He is such a down to earth person and Ideal boss or mentor to work with. My 30 mins interaction with him lead to such a wonderfull feeling about FCB. would not forget it forever. I trust this phrase completely As you move up the corporate ladder, people become more and more humble and compassionate. Mr Wabs is a living example for this. He was soo considerate and sweet. There is so much of maturity and simplicity in him. he had a life state which made me resolve that i want to be like him 20 years from now.

There is lots to write.... However i will continue doing so... Cheers!

Job Change - Transition from Comfort Zone to Tata Motors

Out of my comfort zone(HUL)and challenge your own self. Making myself independent and self aware at the same time. How many times you had taken the leap and made that one resolve to develop something new and take charge. Whole day clearing budgets/ bill and just coordinating amongst the various stakeholders is not helping me learn specific things in marketing. In my present state of life, u r well protected, shielded by people around and nobody challenges you head on. because there is always a boss/ superior at the forefront receiving and answering questions and resolving. It is fine if i am held responsible, given a tough task and will come victorious out of it. However i should always do things correctly and courageously and not falter by being hyper and impatient.

Many things had gone behind my decision finally. She not there being with during this journey is also helped and pushed me think for myself and future.

I know it was not a easy decision. Will see how life takes shape by itself. And should transform me as person and human being. Make me a leader and a mentor for my own self who looks upto for inspiration and hope!
