12:45pm Either brain storming with my team or a briefing session with servicing.

1:30pm lunch break or a working lunch at ITC…because that’s the closest to office

3:30pm Meeting continues

5:00pm Still in a meeting…Phew!

6:00pm Invariably, the client servicing lands up with a brief and the deadline is always first thing in the morning!

6:15pm Still fighting with my client servicing, along with my juniors, that it can’t be done.

7:00pm peace in office

8:00pm I send out a few mails and visit some interesting websites.
