MENTIONABLES
⢠Valedictorian and Best Outgoing Student of my Undergraduate batch, the gravitas of the occasion was undermined by our bright yellow gowns with red trims.
⢠Captain of my college Table Tennis team from my freshman year. Iâm still quite lethal with my paddle, the rubber on which I still cut and glue by hand. Serious stuff.
⢠Cultural Convener, Student Union, in charge of managing the college art, literary, debating, and music teams. And organizing the annual college festival.
⢠Founder and manager of The Sound Foundation, a concert promotion company. Collector of vintage Fillmore and Gunther Kieser concert posters. Zero musical talent.
⢠Freelance cartoonist. I once had a strip in a major conservative business daily, which died after my use of the term ânavel lintââI suspect.
⢠Member of the Ogilvy Fours Rowing Team. We won the Madras Boat Club Corporate Regatta in our maiden year. Fortunately, we never capsized. Iâm terrified of water and canât swim.
⢠One half of a much-awarded Lowe Lintas Corporate Quiz team. We actually had B-school groupies who followed us from one event to the next. Nerds!
⢠My work has been recognized by the Effies, The One Show, New York Festivals, AdAge, Adweek, Addys, Graphis, Emmys, Print Magazine, Tellys...also cabbies, and random strangers at parties.
