    PR kiya toh darna kya


    Foot where?

    Transcript of conversation with anonymous public relations professional on newsroom phone a few days ago. Edited for readability.

    (Phone rings)

    Sidin: Hello… Sidin (It is a miserable habit of mine, that line. So many people respond by saying: “No.”)

    Random PR professional: Hello Sidin! This is <mallu name> from <name of PR company>!

    S: Hi. Tell me.

    RPRP: I have been reading your work for a long time now. And I am impressed.

    S: (Sensing a catch somewhere…) Oh thank you very much.

    RPRP: Especially the wonderful work you’ve been doing in the area of Law firms and legal services…

    S: (What the…) Oh I see. Which stories in particular?

    RPRP: Oh the one… err.. you know the story… this particular one… I mean the one on…

    S: (Aha! The plot thickens…) Oh you mean the one I wrote last weekend?

    RPRP: EXACTLY! That one. It was so, so, so good…

    S: On legal services no?

    RPRP: Yes yes.

    S: Ah but I have NEVER EVER written a single world in my entire career on legal services and law firms…

    RPRP: Never?

    S: Not once.

    RPRP:

    S:

    RPRP: Maybe I have my information wrong.

    S: Maybe you do.
