Drizzlin Media Blog

I prefer calling Mumbai – the vada pav city though I don’t have any specific reasons as such. It was not my destiny to come and work in one of the happening cities in India, but I always aspired for a new change in life like a new place, out of home experience, culture and people etc. Finally this craving of mine came true! Thanks to Rhonda Byrne for her wonderful book on “SECRET”. This helped me to attract what I want in life.

I am proud to say that I work for one of the successful digital branding agency in India as a Social Media Analyst. Today is my 8th day in Mumbai and I am in love this life which makes me feel that I am gifted for what I am and for what I have. I always wanted an independent life which is filled with great responsibility.

As I decided to fly to Mumbai on 19th may, I wrapped up with packing, shopping, finished few formalities with college and bank, took some time to treat my friends and all the 24hrs vanished in seconds! Phew. I had sleepless nights thinking about the exciting and the most awaited life @mumbai. Sometimes tears just roll out when I think about leaving my sweet innocent loving mom who loves me more than anything in her life. (I am sure about this fact). Finally things were in place and ready to roll, I landed Mumbai around 7pm, Laila cyclone kept Chennai in bliss which I considered as a send off which Chennai city gave me. I will never forget that day in life. I had the best of my moments which I am cherishing every minute. A new journey started here!

Apart from Deepak, the CEO of my company I know Juhi who is my colleague cum neighbor in my hostel. I had been communicating with her over phone from Chennai regarding my hostel procedures. I had requested her to come and pick me up from the airport since I was traveling for the first time to Mumbai and I don’t know anybody here. She was so kind enough to accept my request and she agreed to come to the airport on time though I was a bit late by 2 hrs (Sigh)

Take a look at what I had in store as I reached Mumbai… Thank you ppl:P

Certain incidents in life make me realize that life is full of uncertainty. Surprises are really fun and exciting in life. The entire drizzlin team gave me the surprise of receiving me in the airport with a wonderful placard kinda poster which says “few people know about Drizzlin, now you are 1 of them”. (I know you can read what is written on the poster but still i feel writing it here):P It’s a precious moment which I will ever cherish in life. They made sure that I don’t get the feeling of loneliness, new city, new language and blah!!! I didn’t expect that a bunch of people would come and receive me with a big bang. That’s a great moment in life so far! Thanks to Deepak, Juhi, Robin, Varun and Sharan.

That’s me with full of joy and excited about the whole thing.:P

It’s been a week since I joined and I love the environment at office. Learning new things and having some good time with everyone here. Soon I will share my experience on how I stock south-Indian restaurants in Mumbai along with funny, weird experiences of talking in my broken hindi with shopkeepers:D

I am happy that I am scoring something solid in life to laugh at and feel proud about living this life. I am working on saving some jokes and fun! Hahaha. Catch you soon with some hindi phrases which I learnt in office which I randomly tell to people without knowing the meaning

We have good news! An awesomely stylish client we just got and many a more in the pipeline. Drizzlin acquires social media marketing account of Jean-Claude Biguine Paris Salon and Spa. Hell yeah! Imagine us singing this: “We gonna fashion, we gonna style!”

Jean-Claude Biguine has strategic partnership with the Aditya Birla Group and they plan to open 70 salons in the country. They just launched their Kemps Corner salon, which officially gets running on the 1st of June. They have amazing services, we’re going to experience them. Part of the package.

We took a more social approach to the launch since Biguine’s strategy has revolved more around PR. We outreached to twitter users and bloggers, and invited a few relevant and influential ones to the event. They came, they saw, and they tweeted! They liked the fact that we took this approach towards inviting twitter users. Hey, our work’s to make ‘em happy!

@MissMalini, @GirishMAllya, @Labellagorda, @Estinna, and @ShaaqT came over and enjoyed it! There were cocktails and a fashion show. LacoanetHemant showcased their latest designs and the crowd went Beserk (In a good way )!

There were interviews taken, videos shot, and small ramp walks done by the glitterati present at the event. Overall a great hit, and we look forward to launching the Colaba and Juhu salons in the coming months.
