06:30 AM Reach Central Park, Kharghar on my Activa and begin my daily run.

06:45 AM I think I really need new shoes… probably Asics Nimbucs…

06:50 AM Wonder why Saavn‘s music manager has not updated the ‘Run’ playlist yet.

07:45 AM Back home. Jump into the shower.

08:30 AM Leave for work. Mom chases me all the way to the lift and stuffs one more idli in my mouth.

10:00 AM Reach office. Phew!

10:15 AM Check my Wunderlist and emails. Add / Remove / Edit tasks.

03:15 PM The brief is decoded and the deadline is revised.

03:30 PM Spend some time surfing Amazon, Flipkart etc. Think about “agla loan kisse le?”

04:00 PM Send out a few internal mails about any interesting work I come across.

05:00 PM Brainstorming on critical projects usually begins at this time, peppered with intermittent updates by client servicing on other projects.

Weekend Anthony

Personal mantra: Books co-create you.

Sleepy Saturdays: I reserve this day for some quality slumber, besides any mundane chores.

Super Sundays: Always have something fantastic planned (like watching the latest Tollywood blockbuster).
