On 10 March 1986, a full 39 years ago, I joined Hindustan Thompson as an Account Executive after two years at Nerolac Paints

Having journeyed through Trikaya Grey, Mudra's Interact Vision, Rediffusion, Zee, Dentsu, Mogae Media and more, 39 years still feel like yesterday

Advertising has been fun. It's been personally rewarding. Have had some great colleagues, some wonderful clients ... Gullu, Adrian, Ruchira stand out. Shashi Vandrewala, Sangeeta Talwar, Rajive Chandra, Sunil Chaddha, Chhimi Dorji, Rajeev Mangalani, Achal Bakeri, Ravi Oberoi, Sunil B Mittal, Akhil Gupta, Jagdish Khattar, Ralph Marshall, Piruz Khambatta, Gurdeep Singh, Sandip Das, Shreyas Joshi, Paulomi Dhawan, Praveer Sinha, Govind Beriwal - I have had the privilege of working with a galaxy of fantastic clients.

Sanjay Sehgal, Vinita Kaul, Mala Sehgal, Kamal Oberoi, Rohit Chawla, Ravi Gupta, Freddy Birdie, Naved Akhtar, Ashish Dabral, Srini Bhat, Geeta Rao, Rajesh Aggarwal, Harish Arora, Supriyo Gupta, BL Gautam, Abhijit Saxena, Kanta Advani, Pramod Sharma, Asheesh Malhotra, Viru ... have all been great guides, bosses, friends ...

My family - Tanya, Anu, Nalin, Carol & Adit continue to support me, cheer me on

I also want to pay reverence to Fumio Oshima san and Mr. Nanda for being my gurus.

Thank you all for being part of my journey.

Onwards to 40th. And hopefully some more...
