Author's Afternoon with Anuja

June 5, 2015, Jaipur: I landed in Jaipur early morning today. During the summers, the early morning flight leaves Kolkata at 5:25 am for Jaipur. I am not a morning flight kind of person but yesterday I couldn't avail the afternoon flight as I had to finish off a couple of meetings as I shall not be in office till the middle of this month.

Although I will be in Kolkata just one night tomorrow and again leave to attend some personal commitments.

Anuja is also the lady behind some of the biggest advertisement campaigns in India having worked for brands like Pepsi, Kurkure, Mountain Dew, Nokia. She was also behind campaign slogans like Pepsi's “Nothing official about it” and “Yeh dil maange more”. Due to the Maggi controversy her phone was buzzing continuously as journalists from television channels wanted her views on the matter.

The Author's Afternoon session was a packed one and one of those editions which was almost looked like a ladies' special session.
