Parul Sharma was born 13 August 1983. Same day as Sridevi. She’s a Delhi girl, born and raised in the capital.
First Job > Sahara Airlines. She’s traveled all over the place on account of her stints with Sahara and IndiGo. She didn’t mind her previous job too much but says it isn’t her cup of tea. Too many angry people asking for stuff. All the effin time.
Childhood Ambition > An astronaut but changed her mind later because she didn’t like the outfits.
Fondest Memory > Her wedding day.
Favourite Book > Her latest obsession is British author Sophie Kinsella. She finds the lead character Rebecca Bloomwood hilarious and cites Elizabeth Bennett from Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice a real role model.
Last purchase > A pair of musical hairbands as a farewell gift for her new BFFs Lucia & Himali (Tom & Joe).
Predictions > In the future, Shah Rukh will opt for major facial reconstruction and turn into a vague, creepy thing like MJ. Noida will become cool. (Thinks for a minute, then changes her mind.) Noida will never be cool. She likes trains and thinks Laloo will make the Railways really snazzy.
If she were made Queen for a day > She would give 90% off on all big cars. Only to women. She also clarifies that it would apply only to the BMW 7 series, Audi Q7 and A8 and the Mercedes S Class. Cause all the other cars are just crappy.
Did we mention she’s a Delhi girl?

Himali & Lucia. Way prettier than Tom & Joe. And a welcome addition to the office. Himali loves samosas and Lucia’s advice to everyone at W+K is “never mix martini shots and sushi”. Useful advice, that. Himali has agreed to be Tom and Lucia will be Joe while they are in Delhi. They love their cook Gauri and think Parul is ‘like a flower’.

These are the rules at Wieden + Kennedy. Famously found in a desk drawer by David Kennedy when clearing out his stuff to leave his old job and start the new agency. He and Dan Wieden said, ‘These will do as the rules for the new place.’ And it has been so ever since. Courtesy: W+K London Blog
Pretty good turn-out. No casualties. Highlights as follows. Momo ran 11 because she couldn’t find the exit. Mohit did 14 for similar reasons. Most ran-walked about 7.5 kilometres. And Shuchi punched a perv and threw him in a ditch. Breakfast of idlies and lamb curry at Prasad’s followed.
‘I couldn’t have done without the iPod’
Bala deserves a citation for running with a steel rod in his leg.
